Lich's Dealings

Day of Reckoning is just about a week away. I've been working hard on the new swamp board I'm building (photos coming soon), but I am also working on a couple of new 15pt lists. One of the achievements for DoR is to use three different casters at least one time each during the event. Since Xenophonica and I play Cryx, it was an easy decision on what to do to achieve this. She has pDenny and I've got pGoreshade, so we only needed to get one more caster to make a happy family. After doing some searching and research, I decided on the new caster I would add to my regiment: Iron Lich Asphyxious. Good old pGaspy.

I wanted to put together an aggressive list that was all spellcasty-like. I looked over Gaspy's spells and abilities, and he just fit for the new play style I wanted to go for. Plus, with him I've finally found a way to utilize the Withershadow Combine and I can finally put them in a list. I know a lot of players might discourage using them in a 15pt list, but I am going to give it a whirl. Xenophonica put them to the table last week and was nearly in prime position to pull off Dark Industries.

Cryx Bane Cavalry - It's a Thing

Ever since way back in 2012 players have been talking about the smoke Privateer Press has been blowing about Cryx receiving some cavalry units. We've even had some mentions by Privateer Press about there being Bane Cavalry, but those mentions soon turned to whispers that only the Lich Lords could comprehend.

It looks like there could actually be some live in Bane Cavalry, though, thanks to a new image that surfaced on the net recently. Matt Wilson, in all of his greatness, posted the following photo on his Twitter page:

 

I don't know about you, but I am totally excited for this. I'd love to see more Banes hit the battlefield, moving even quicker than normal and hitting like two Mack trucks at once. I really think Privateer Press is pushing us Cryx players to make armies full of nothing but Banes. I'd say something like this:

Lich Lord Terminus
Bane Thralls + UA
Bane Knights
Bane Cavalry
Bane Lord Tartarus
Anything else you want because it doesn't matter

Hell, I'd play that list. And I'd love it. More coming soon, I hope.
