Hello everyone, looked at what they give us from RQ, my eyes fell on Malvin & Mayhem. At VTC he has shown himself to be very effective. And I wondered how Cryx can use it. So far I am considering 3 casters: Scaverous1, Skarre2, Deneghra1. The BI Carapace theme is great for him. Perhaps another buff in the of Asphyxious4. Who thinks what, please share.

I think he looks versatile and fun, would definitely do well under Deneghra 1 and her debuffs. I think its almost like giving cryx a warpwolf...with worse stats. I don't know any particular synergies with Scaverous or Skarre 2 other than her feat to protect him. Though with black spot, you would not have to do the killing spree thing as much, though killing spree is superior in my opinion.
Keep in mind, he is an independent warjack, not in a battlegroup and you have to take a gobber solo to take him.
So for me, the best casters are our general turd polishers, which would be Denny 1. Our casters that don't care about battlegroup but would love to have an independent warjack that costs nothing of their own focus would love him too, like Terminus.

Scaverous seems to me useful because it is +2 (4) to the distance charge, plus now very often you can't cast debuffs on the target, Feast of Worms looks more effective. If we also take Asphyxious4, then approximately we will get a 15 inch charge distance on live, with 24 effective power.
But I totally agree Denegra looks very good.

tiberius the extra attack(s) from Black Spot sadly only trigger for friendly Faction models, so M&M won't benefit. Basically, to play them in any Cryx list, you give up your Merc solo slot to get a River Raider, clocking them in at 18 points, which is definitely a worthy trade-off in some lists. Scaverous already likes playing in BI, and Deneghra can play anywhere. Skarre 2 might prefer Scourge of the Broken Coast though. While M&M are just nice to have as an independent module that wrecks face, note that Carapace will be the only one of our theme benefits they can claim, which would lead me to gravitate towards playing in that theme. Quick playing around in CC got me to this: conflictchamber.com/?c4201b_-1T371w19q0hCpY2t2tf0f4pzlL73Cryx [Theme] Black Industries [Scaverous 1] Lord Exhumator Scaverous [+27] - Deathjack [23] - Deathripper [6] - Doctor Stygius [4] Hellslinger Phantom [0(7)] Master Gurglepox [7] Pistol Wraith [0(5)] Pistol Wraith [0(5)] Soul Trapper [1] Swamp Gobber River Raider [1] - Malvin & Mayhem [17] Asphyxious the Sanctified [14] - Toro [13] Croe's Cutthroats (max) [16]
