First - apologies for my lack of Italian as I am still learning, and as this is not about asking for a meal or a train ticket (text book language skills!!) I have to post in English.
So, I am preparing an article for the Lost Masquerade blog aimed to help players expand past the faction starter set. I have chosen Cryx as they were the first faction I chose when Warmachine was launched all those years ago. I haven´t played them for a long time so that gives me a good beginner insight.
The plan is to base the expansion to the army on the faction starter and move it to 35pts, using models I like and some obvious basic synergies. These are the 2 lists -
Warwitch Deneghra Deathripper Slayer Pistol Wraith Bane Lord Tartarus Max Bane Thralls + UA Min Bile Thralls Min Bane Riders
Warwitch Deneghra Skarlock Thrall Deathripper Nightmare Pistol Wraith Bane Lord Tartarus Max Bane Thralls + UA Min Bile Thralls + Skarlock Commander
Any comments??

Hi big boss! ! I played cryx for a very limited number of games so my expertise about this faction is limited...anyway...with pDanny i like too much a stealthy army (or incorporeal models...). So i prefer the second list but i don't like skarlok commander and i suggest in replacing a siren...probably in a 35pts game also bile thralls are not so useful. To sum up i suggest: pDanny *nightmare *deathripper Pistol Pistol Tartarus Max bane thrall+ua Siren machine wraith (or replace it and the deathripper with a defiler) That's all folks!

Defiler is a good idea as it helps me use up the remaining 1 pt I have when I start changing things a little, and it´s the arc node ability I want really anyway.

Hi, sry for my very bad english. my list with pDenny 35pt:
pDenny .Ripjaw .Tartarus .Bane thralls min .Mechanithralls min .Mechanithralls min .Brute Thrall .Necro&stich thralls .Necro&stich thralls .Bloodwitches min .Blood Hag .Bile thralls min .Gorman .McNeal
In Feat+crippling grasp+McNeal's action and minifeat Gorman can throw Blind on enemy warcaster/colossal to 14" with rat from 5 to 11. For example: After, u can make a charge to enemy colossal with ripjaw, so at his turn he has mat 1, ripjaw def 15 and he must kill it to move for contest any area or objective or flag. With this list u can bring enemy def to -8 and arm -9 in the same turn. i love it!

So I had some table time with pDenny again tonight. I faced off against eButcher with Doom Reaver spam playing the Outflank scenario. I used -
pDenny Nightmare Defiler Tartarus max Bane Tralls plus UA Pistol Wraith min Bane Cavalry
He used -
eButcher Kodiak Juggernaught 3 units Doom Reavers + UAs Fenris
In short - In turn 2, I traded the arc node early game for most of a unit of Doomreavers. This was then followed in my turn 2 with a pDenny feat which caught the whole Khador army except Fenris and 3 Doomreavers. Fenris died to a charge from the Bane Cavalry. The central Doomreaver unit was finished off by Nightmare and the Pistol Wraith and everything else readied for a turn 3 charge.
Bucher foolishly used all his focus in turn 3 trying to clear a zone of Bane Thralls, so in my turn 3, Nightmare threw the Kodiak at Butcher, knocked him down and 3 Ghostly Bane Thralls finished him off. Twas a thing of beauty!
