Cryx
Cryx is a nation of undead necromancers and piratical raiders. Cryx armies are typically fast, numerous and lightly-armored. The poor quality of their troops is offset by the power of their warcasters, which rank among the strongest in the game. Cryx is mostly based around melee, soul-powered magic, returning models to play, debuffs, and corrosive attacks.

Starter Sets
2016 Mk3 Battlegroup
- Contains 4 models.
- Bane Witch Agathia warcaster,
- Deathripper light warjack,
- Reaper heavy warjack,
- and a Slayer heavy warjack.
- Plus a bunch of peripheral stuff (see picture).
2016 Two Player Battlebox
- Contains 14 Cryx models, plus a bunch of Cygnar models (that you can give or sell to a friend).
- The same 4 models as the Mk3 Battlegroup set above, plus
- a unit of Bane Warriors (10 models).
The 2 player box enters you into the realm of units, with all their extra rules. As the enemy will likely field units of their own, the Soul manipulation mechanism of Agathia will possibly see play too. Soul gathering is often present in Cryx, but will not come up in small games which are instead full of robots.
2018 Theme Force Starter
Scourge of the Broken Coast Template:Small
- Contains 19 models.
- A unit of Bloodgorgers (10 models)
- The Bloodgorger's character command attachment Jussika Bloodtongue (1 model),
- a unit of Scharde Dirge Seers (3 models),
- a unit of Black Ogrun Iron Mongers (3 models),
- Gerlak Slaughterborn character solo (1 model), and
- a Misery Cage solo (1 model).
This set is designed to be an add-on to your other purchases, rather than be a 'army in a box' by itself (because it doesn't include a warcaster or warjacks, which are compulsory parts of your army).

- 2021.07 Cryx Warjacks Deep Dive by Blake
Blake goes through the entire stable of Cryx warjacks and talks about what makes them good or not good, where they fit in, and if they have any special casters or other models that get the most from them. As of October 2021 most of the points are inaccurate but the functions are the same.
- 2020.09 LOS Article Brawlmachine List Building - Cryx by Phillip Melvin
Phillip wrote an excellent article for how to start Cryx. It is based on the newbie-friendly Brawlmachine format (25 point limit).
The article contains a different list for each Cryx theme, and advice on how to expand those lists beyond 25 points.
- 2016.04 Cryx Preview by Privateer Press
Just before the launch of the mk3 ruleset, the game developers did a series of Insider articles about what they saw as each Faction's "Core Identity". Although it's dated now, it's still an interesting insight.
