Cryx Pistol Wraith | What’s in the Box… or is it Blister?
October 15, 2010 by lloyd
In a new step for BoW, Andy sits down with our first unboxing of a Warmachine blister pack!
So who will be the first candidate for this dubious honour?
None other than the Pistol Wraith... Warmachine's ghostly gunman and a staple solo of many Cryx forces... but all you other Iron Kingdoms junkies need not worry, there will be more videos coming up, for the other factions very soon.

Another great vid! I really like how you get into the tactics surrounding the model you showcase, I hope that can be expanded into and 4ok unboxings as well. Also if you guys could also wash down other metal models in the unboxings (unblisterings?) that’d be awesome. Cheers
Ah, my most favored solo… great for harassing enemy heavy jacks, or, as Andy said, for killing solos. Die you pesky manhunters!
Forgot to clarify on this vid BTW… something that gets Death Chilled and chooses to lose its [combat] Action can’t buy additional attacks even if it has Focus on it.
I didn’t make it entirely clear. I was referring to targets with ranged attacks, and other abilites that might not be entirely be negated by losing their movement.
That’s what happens when you’re rushing to get finished! 😉

Another good review, Cheers Andy. That is a nice model, i might have to get one just to paint.
The only real improvement you could make to this vid would have been to show the alternate Pistol Wraith sculpt as well. The alternate is a newer sculpt and quite a bit nicer….with the added bonus of allowing you to field two different models if you were planning on running two Pistol Wraiths. As for how they perform in game…bloody annoying (I am always on the receiving end as I don’t play Cryx). Solid hitting power with POW12 guns and RAT7 means that they generally do get the hits in. My mate finds it best to kill off a couple… Read more »
I’ve just realised we have the alternate Pistol Wraith model at the studio… I’ll maybe do a quick vid on that at some point… that’ll give me a chance to clear up the Death Chill confusion too.
Not for a while though, I have loads more stuff to look at first.
Here is an idea for you, maybe do a vid with all of the alternate sculpts in it together…..that is once you have done their original models (Cryx:Pistol Wraith, Khador: Manhunter, Cygnar: Journeyman Warcaster, Menoth: Paladin of the Wall) in detail first.
Yeah… I could do that too…
I’ll just have to check which alternates are in the studio. I know there’s a Pistol Wraith and I think there’s a Manhunter… but I’ll have to have a look for the others.
Amazing video Andy, I love it. I’ve found the Pistol Wraith is hilarious with Warwitch Deneghra. While an enemy unit has be Crippling Crasp’d then, shooting and moving away is as easy as pie. The DEF debuff and ARM debuff usually ends with your opponents model/units with a nice fat hole in their face. It’s like holding them at an arms length, while giving them a slap or two. ;D
Keep up the awesome work hombre.

Cheers Vish! If anyone wants a good 15pt starter list based on the Cryx Battlebox, but featuring Pistol Wraiths… try this one… Cryx 15pt Battleforce X1 – Warwitch Denegrah – Warcaster (-5pts) X1 – Slayer – Heavy Warjack (6pts) X2 – Deathripper – Light Warjack (4pts each) X2 – Pistol Wraith – Solo (3pts each) That works much like the Dengrah battlebox, except, you are dropping the [arguably] redundant Defiler for two nasty solos with better range, [potentially] more damage and a control effect… oh… and who can only be hurt by magical weapons or spells… well until they shoot… Read more »
