They really are a FANTASTIC value. I hate these guys with your Titan so much. Makeda being able to bring them back with her feat is also really annoying.Minutehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10595088310232826844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4806473340154144291.post-68585126134359589932010-08-31T11:13:57.035-04:002010-08-31T11:13:57.035-04:00Nightwretches are absolutely fantastic.

Without charging, a unit of Bane Thralls does something like 35+ damage on average to a Khador heavy. That number goes down the higher DEF an opponent's jack has, but overall, you're not going to have an issue killing his jacks with them. Scything Touch + Parasite virtually insures that if you get them into combat, they are going to wreck things.Asmohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02555809677595527426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4806473340154144291.post-74211101957568052162010-08-31T02:34:22.902-04:002010-08-31T02:34:22.902-04:00thanks I had no idea that I made a good list :), n...thanks I had no idea that I made a good list :), nightwretches seem fantastic and besides are a point cheaper then defilers. how easy is it for bane thralls to take down a 'jack? cause they combined with parasite, cast by asphyxious, gives the target model a -5 ARM penalty, and they have weapons master... any thoughts?<br /><br />thanks :)folkerthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00107684540925987101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4806473340154144291.post-72984821223244328472010-08-30T19:53:08.538-04:002010-08-30T19:53:08.538-04:00Bah, off topic doesn't matter one bit to me. ...Bah, off topic doesn't matter one bit to me. I'm happy to help!<br /><br />One day, I do have a goal of going through the Cryx casters, and doing a writeup of how to start them, kind of escalation-style, but that's going to have to wait until I have some time.<br /><br />This list, however, is pretty solid for a starting Asphyxious list. He's such a solid all-around caster- there's not much you can take wrong with him. That said, what you have is pretty much all perfect to use with him.<br /><br />Nightwretches are much maligned in MkII, because the Defiler, with its spray, is considered so much better. I don't buy it. You get a decent AOE attack on a 4-point arc node. That's fantastic! And Asphyxious needs them to get his spells in place. <br /><br />The Slayer is a fine jack, fast and it hits hard. Use Asphyxious to get him to hit even harder!<br /><br />Bane Thralls are of course amazing. The Skarlock Thrall is also a perfect match, since there are so many good spells he can cast.<br /><br />Really, it's a perfectly good 15 point list. I even ran something similar at 25 points here: http://boisterous-exuberance.blogspot.com/2010/04/arent-khador-jacks-supposed-to-be-slow.html<br /><br />Let me know how it goes! I love reading battle reports where Cryx are involved :)Asmohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02555809677595527426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4806473340154144291.post-84113704792219259252010-08-30T16:29:28.505-04:002010-08-30T16:29:28.505-04:00although a little off topic, I'd like to ask y...although a little off topic, I'd like to ask you what you think of this 15 points warmachine list...
