The blackest of hearts

In June of 2012 I attended Wargamescon in Austin Texas.  One of the booths (Spikeybitz maybe) had a Cryx army that was being parted out.  The models were gorgeous so I picked up Deathjack, Canker Worm, pSkarre, and pDeneghra.  I didn't really know if I was ever going to play Cryx but the models were too nice to pass on.  They sat in my case for a long time, but not anymore!

I was playing Retribution at the time so I didn't really think anything of these models.  These four models formed the necrotite seed that has grown into a tree of death!

I bought the Cryx starter box plus a box of defilers to give me options for Arc Node choice.

Bane Thralls, Tartarus, Arc Nodes, and a Skarlock I figured these models would be the place to start.  I wanted to play Deneghra because she is my favorite character in the story arc.  So far I am terrible with her but I think eventually I will figure out how to not get her smoked every game.  I am thoroughly enjoying Asphyxious the Hellbringer.  I will be campaigning Asphyxious3 all year.  I love everything about this guy, the model is fantastic, every spell on his card is incredibly useful, he can smack the crap out of things, the feat is the most okay part of him but it is still great.  I love having a turn of 10+ focus to spend.  Other than Asphyxious I really enjoy playing Mortenebra in tier so far I have lost every time I've played with her but it has been a blast.  I got into Warmachine for the jacks so this has been a lot of fun.  I have been really surprised with how good Slayers actually are.  I figured they were the fodder in the list but they do some serious work.  Anyway expect many Cryx related posts in the near future.  I attended a tournament over the weekend, I start the machinations league on Sunday, and I am painting a ton of Cryx right now.  Lots of Warmachine going on.
