I was planning on running a venny 6 slayer list at some point so this makes that crazy good. Ripsaws with that one spell he has are nasty against war beasts. With them being free that is very good and very cool.

Stroke of luck!

My first game in several weeks and I got a Judicator one-rounded by an Aradus Soldier. It was the only armor-cracking I had in the list

I'm coming to the conclusion I build lists that look nice to me on paper but then can't do poo poo when I actually try to play them

This sounds broken as gently caress.

You're also giving up lots of the good Cryx infantry options, so it might not be that bad. This list has the opposite consideration from Skorne's Imperial Warhost-- next to no unit options at all means it's hard to score circle zones. Otherwise it seems similar to Imperial Warhost-- free 7pt lights, an anti-shooting benefit, and 2" of deployment. It's good, but I'm not sure that it's Ghostfleet meta-breaking good. Which is sort of the level you want to have theme releases at, as in good enough to see play but not good enough to totally warp the meta around a single list/caster.

It sounds like another great theme for Cryx, and can lead to list chicken situations as your infantry killing list is no longer the go-to drop against cryx.

Depends on how you kill infantry. Charging their jacks with just about anything is a pretty good way to kill Cryx jacks.

You guys it's better than I hoped. Seeing like 4-5 lists coming to mind. No scarlock is sort of an issue but the combine can cast ritual sac for skarre. May put that double kraken list back on the table again.

God plus carapace too? If so they will be awful to try to root out with basic shooting. It'll require cra or boosts.

Being alerted to a Warstore sale in the Infinity thread let me get a 50% Death Knell :toot: Probably gonna put the Gremlins on a separate base for a swarm.

Cryx theme looks rad and Gaspy3 was my bag anyways, so looking forward to it. Also thinking of jiggering an Akios2 list out of it.

Not sure if y'all noticed, but you're allowed to take Cephalyx too (YESSS STEALTH CEPHALYX THEME! ((also, boo, we'll never get another Cephalyx theme, lol))) but that means you can take a dominator. So you can have any merc unit in that theme, which is P. Cool! (Obviously I'm gonna have High shields in my Venethrax list, what could be better) this is SUCH a great theme!

Awww. That's a shame. So it's just mind slavers, benders and overlords that you can take. Well and agitators I guess but there's no point.

No Benders, either. Every Cephalyx except the Mind Slavers & Drudges & Overlords has the Limited Employment rule.

I'm going to give it to the end of the week to try and sell whole, and then will be willing to split it up.

And yes, they are plastic. Most of the models are plastic, only models that were never made plastic are metal.

If it was going to be before WTC they probably would have "leaked" them early like they did with the Haley change. I'm guessing early October.

12 movement on my Speed 4 heavies is just too good.

Chargers and Hunters snipe out what I don't like and my Centurions hold the zone while the Hammersmiths clear them out. If I see an assassination then it's a heavy from 13 inches away swinging at Mat 9.

Life is good.
