So, I am looking to maybe jump into a second faction, and figure Cryx may be the one to jump in to. Wanting a simple 50 point list to start with. But not sure where to start. I had thought about buying the theme force box and the battlebox, but want to see what everyone elses thoughts are first.

It's hard to answer such an open ended question - what sorts of things attract you to cryx? Eg if you wanted slaughter fleet raiders, their starter box and a battlebox would be a good start. If you wanted Black Industries we could give you some jack heavy lists. If you wanted satyxis or mech thralls or revenants or whatever we can talk about theme forces for them. Help us to help you  If you're not sure, you can always net list tournament results and pick one you like there to build towards. |

Honestly, looking for a list with simple interactions mainly for demo purposes, going to try and expand the community in my area. But, I play Circle now with Baldur1/2 and Kromac 2 in the living beast theme, if that helps. Also trying to keep a budget of around $250 USD |

For demo purposes, I would go try and get the two player battlebox that used to be out. I believe the caster was Bane Witch Agathia, she came with a unit of banes, an arc node and two heavy warjacks. Was that it? She plays fairly simply, can teach arcing, stacking debuffs, warjack power attacks, and is pretty good at showing Cryx play style.

If you want more stuff to add onto that, a good solo like Bane Lord Tartarus, the Bane warrior UA, and maybe another arc node would work well. When you want to get more advanced, another unit of banes (any flavor) or Darragh Wrathe would work well with the group.

Banes are quite straight forward: they're slow, hit hard and aren't stopped by terrain, eventually they will get to you and ruin your day.
Satyxis are also straight forward: they're fast, don't hit so hard, but are more accurate and are resilient to ranged attacks.
So I would suggest looking towards either the Dark Host or Scourge of the Broken Coast theme forces. If you're not interested in playing in theme, just get whatever you like the look of.
