a unit of Scharde Dirge Seers (3 models),.The Bloodgorger's character command attachment Jussika Bloodtongue (1 model),.Scourge of the Broken Coast (Also known as the Slaughter Fleet Raiders theme force box) Soul gathering is often present in Cryx, but will not come up in small games which are instead full of robots. As the enemy will likely field units of their own, the Soul manipulation mechanism of Agathia will possibly see play too. The 2 player box enters you into the realm of units, with all their extra rules. The same 4 models as the Mk3 Battlegroup set above, plus.Contains 14 Cryx models, plus a bunch of Cygnar models (that you can give or sell to a friend).The battlegroup box is a good way to meet the defining traits of Cryx high mobility, excessive use of Arc Nodes, de-buff stacking and movement shenanigans. Plus a bunch of peripheral stuff (see picture).However, for the most part, think close fast and smash everything quickly. It is entirely possible to build a Cryx army that is good at shooting, or slow and durable - there are just fewer ways to do it successfully than in other factions. (★) Everything given above is typical only. Low durability compared to the sturdier factions like Khador or Skorne.A smaller range of mercenaries available for hire.No special orders (such as Shield Wall) available to the troops.Little access to buffs (Cryx normally debuffs the enemy instead).Poor shooting capabilities Cryx are almost certain to lose in a firefight.Your army will typically (★) suffer these weakness. The best inventory of light warjacks in the game.Access to extremely cheap units, letting you field large swarm-style armies.Access to cheap and fast arc nodes to let you cast spells far and wide.Good at magic, especially debuffing the enemy models.Sometimes able to move through enemies, too. Good at ignoring terrain for movement purposes.Here as a member of the Nightmare Empire, your army will typically (★) benefit from these strengths. I really enjoyed this short yet poignant glimpse into one of the most significant designers of the ‘Horus Heresy’.Welcome to the service of Dragonfather Toruk. And he had prepared for his role in the grand scheme for a long time indeed. It was quite easy to grasp the weight of the plot upon the overall setting, but it also gives a simplistic view of the straightforward path that Erebus has chosen for himself. Erebus himself knows he is not a hero or even any great evil either, but he knows of his unique place in the eyes of the ruinous powers.Ĭhris Wraight is no ADB, but he knows what the reality behind Erebus is and also his unique characteristics and his sense of perspective. While this short didn’t reveal any hidden truth into the mind of the real harbinger of the heresy, it did give us a bit of insight into his psyche and his cunning personality. This one was a bit different from what I expected. So, naturally, when I learned about this short, I knew I had to read it as soon as possible. There are many evil characters in the Warhammer 40k and Horus Heresy settings, but I sincerely doubt if there is any other character as universally hated as Erebus. Not just a short tie-in to Chris Wraight's Lorgar Primarchs novella, but an excellent Erebus secret origin tale with an unexpected twist that is going to make you much more love and hate one of the most despicable villains ever and one of the true architects behind the Horus Heresy.īecause Erebus did nothing wrong and his work is still far from being done yet. I have never been their stated champion, not like Horus, but I have always been their servant, their counsellor to the mighty, their assassin, their adviser, their deliverer of souls. The pantheon has remained close to me ever since, whatever lies you may have heard from my many enemies. I began to feel that the old Powers were closer to me than they had ever been, and that if I could simply reach out, extend an armoured finger ahead of me, I might somehow touch them. Across such vast distances, that had an effect. The deaths were mounting, the pain increasing. The violence we were unleashing was a danger to our enemies even as it brought the known galaxy under the heel of Terra. Another thing did become steadily apparent.
