Hi Guys, Andi,

First off, I’m from Austria, so pls forgive me any spelling or grammar mistakes.

I’m a dedicated Cryx Player (just love those undead) and I want to add a little bit to your tipps.
– Ghost Walk: Yes, this is one of the game winning spells, not only on battlegroup sized games, but it comes in handy in many situations.
– But IMO the most important feature of pDenny is Crippling Grasp and her feat, especially on battlegroup size. Don’t ever forget that any penalty to your movement (as you suffer from CGrasp or the feat) denies a charge. Also not being able to run slows down your oponent dramatically. Particularly against Khador, who do generally not have a great SPD value, this works perfectly. And since Warmachine is often won by the “more active” player, so the one who can pull off more charges, being able to outmaneuver your oponent and charge by yourself is vital.
Just imagine a Khador jack (SPD 4) being reduced to SPD 1 (which is the minimum value) and not able to charge or run. If the enemy warcaster is hit by this combo the game is greatly on your side. And I didn’t even mention the further debuffs against the other stats.
Basically with Deneghras feat you can have a turn of hard hitting (because of reduced DEF and ARM of your oponent) and in the enemy’s turn you suffer very little retaliation, also because of the reduced stats (even FOCUS is affected! –> mind the reduced control area in this case).
There is also a very good (mean) trick for assassinations with pDenny. Use her spell “Scourge” with an arcnode, not further than ~4 inch away of your target, so it cannot deviate off the target and so automatically knock it down. This is then just what you’ve been waiting for – your fast jacks (even bonejacks) can now easily kill the knocked down target. Ideally you can do this with the enemy warcaster, which simply is a game winner.
If some of the enemies are just too tough, use CGrasp or Parasite or both of them (Both are upkeep spells!!) to dramatically reduce the ARM and even the DEF a little. Afterwards nothing should be too hard anylonger. This is also why pDenny is one of the casters, which are able to make any jack/unit/solo work in a Cryx army.

Just be careful with pDenny since she is not the toughest warcaster, although she is relatively hard to hit and stealth helps also in this regard (especially in battlebox games, where there are few to none stealth-ignoring abilities and spells). Indeed a deviated bombard cannon of a Khador Destroyer can be a thread, but will also not kill her off instantly.

Just remember to always bring arc-nodes with pDenny, she very much relies on them.
