Warmachine: Cryx Necrofactorium, Wraithbinder's Host

The Warmachine Cryx Necrofactorium Army Box – Wraithbinder's Host brings an otherworldly army of vengeful spirits and necromechanical warjacks to the battlefield. Led by the spectral warcaster Wraithbinder Nekane, this force combines the formidable Hades Character Warjack, a Raptor Light Warjack, The Furies, Night Terrors and specialised necromantic support. Designed for both Command and Skirmish games, Wraithbinder's Host provides a distinctive introduction to Cryx Necrofactorium or an expansion for an established Warmachine army.

Wraithbinder's Host – A Haunting Force of Cryx

Not every servant of the Nightmare Empire relies upon the decaying flesh and crude mechanical reconstruction associated with the undead legions of Cryx.

Some exist beyond the limitations of the physical world, stalking the paths of spirits and commanding the restless dead.

Among these terrifying beings is Wraithbinder Nekane, an ethereal assassin whose soul has remained untouched by undeath despite her long service to the Nightmare Empire.

Nekane understands the weaknesses of mortal flesh better than most. Rather than depending upon the strength of a conventional body, she draws upon her own spiritual essence to empower her dark magic.

Her victims face a particularly horrifying fate. Those who fall to her increasingly corrupted hand may find themselves bound to her ghostly host, condemned to join the vengeful spectres that accompany her into battle.

The Wraithbinder's Host Army Box captures this darker, supernatural aspect of Cryx Necrofactorium, combining spectral warriors with the faction's distinctive necromechanical technology.

Wraithbinder Nekane – Mistress of Vengeful Spirits

Wraithbinder Nekane leads the army as its warcaster.

An assassin and practitioner of sinister magic, Nekane commands spirits while sacrificing portions of her own essence to strengthen her supernatural abilities.

Her background sets her apart from the industrial necromancers and mechanikal engineers more commonly associated with the Necrofactorium.

Where other commanders may focus on overwhelming enemies with numerous reconstructed soldiers, Nekane's force draws much of its identity from the presence of vengeful spectres and the unsettling powers of the spirit world.

Her court of ghosts reflects the consequences of her own dark magic. Every life taken in her service to Cryx strengthens the imagery of a commander surrounded by the souls of the dead.

For players who enjoy the supernatural horror of the Iron Kingdoms, Nekane offers a compelling thematic centrepiece for an army.

Her inclusion also provides an alternative warcaster for collectors interested in exploring different styles of Cryx Necrofactorium forces.

Hades and the Raptor Light Warjack

Wraithbinder's Host includes two warjacks that reinforce the army's combination of supernatural power and sinister engineering.

Hades is a Character Warjack, providing a distinctive mechanical centrepiece alongside Wraithbinder Nekane.

As a named construct, Hades contributes an individual identity to the force, contrasting with the more standardised warjacks produced by the Necrofactorium.

The army also contains a Raptor Light Warjack, equipped with the Venom Blaster Head and Arc Node Back.

The Raptor is one of the Necrofactorium's agile mechanical creations, combining a compact predatory form with specialised weapon systems.

Its Arc Node configuration is particularly relevant for players interested in coordinating warjack positioning with their warcaster's spellcasting capabilities.

The Venom Blaster provides the specific head configuration supplied in this box.

These are the listed components of the included Raptor. The Army Box should not be assumed to contain every alternative Raptor head or back option available through separate products.

Together, Hades and the Raptor add necromechanical strength to an army otherwise distinguished by its spectral warriors and supernatural support.

The Furies – A Vengeful Character Unit

The Furies bring another supernatural element to Wraithbinder's Host.

This three-model Character Unit reinforces the army's identity as a gathering of dangerous, otherworldly servants of the Nightmare Empire.

Rather than resembling conventional military infantry, the Furies contribute to the sinister atmosphere surrounding Nekane and her ghostly followers.

Their presence makes the box particularly appealing to collectors interested in the spiritual and necromantic aspects of the Cryx faction.

For miniature painters, these models provide opportunities to explore pale spectral colours, unnatural highlights and contrasting shadows.

Combining ghostly effects with the darker metallic and mechanical tones of the rest of the army can create a visually striking collection.

The Furies' exact battlefield abilities and interactions with other models are detailed in the official Warmachine app.

Night Terrors – Spectral Cavalry

The army also includes Night Terrors, a three-model unit of spectral cavalry.

These terrifying warriors bring an imposing supernatural presence to the battlefield and complement the ghostly identity of Wraithbinder's Host.

Their inclusion creates an appealing contrast with the army's warjacks. While Hades and the Raptor represent Cryxian engineering, the Night Terrors evoke the ancient horrors and restless spirits commanded by the Nightmare Empire.

For collectors, the Night Terrors are among the most distinctive elements of the box.

Spectral cavalry offers an opportunity to experiment with atmospheric painting techniques, translucent-looking colour transitions and supernatural lighting effects.

Their presence alongside Nekane and the Furies helps establish Wraithbinder's Host as a force with a recognisable theme rather than simply a collection of conventional undead soldiers.

Necromantic Support and Mechanical Domination

Completing the army are two specialist additions that expand its tactical possibilities.

The Necrosurgeon Initiates are a three-model support unit representing the Necrofactorium's expertise in restoring and manipulating the dead.

Their inclusion connects the spectral force to the wider necromantic practices of Cryx, providing another example of how the Nightmare Empire treats death as a resource rather than a permanent loss.

The Machine Wraith Dominator introduces a different form of supernatural threat.

This spectral Solo possesses the Dark Dominion ability, allowing it to interfere with enemy warjacks under the appropriate rules conditions.

Its role reflects the terrifying possibility that even a powerful mechanical construct may not be safe from the Nightmare Empire's supernatural influence.

Together, these specialists give the army additional tactical options beyond the direct combat capabilities of its warjacks and spectral units.

Built for Command and Skirmish Games

Steamforged Games designed Wraithbinder's Host as an entry point to Cryx Necrofactorium, suitable for both Command and Skirmish level Warmachine games.

For new players, the box provides a coherent force centred on one warcaster, two warjacks and a selection of supporting units and solos.

Established Cryx players can expand their collection with Nekane, Hades and the other distinctive models included in the set.

These miniatures can also contribute to larger armies, allowing players to develop their Necrofactorium collection beyond the initial box.

For miniature painters, Wraithbinder's Host offers considerable variety.

The mechanical surfaces of Hades and the Raptor can be finished with corroded iron, dark armour and aged industrial details, while the spectral models offer opportunities for ghostly greens, cold blues and pale magical effects.

This contrast between machinery and spirits gives the army a distinctive appearance that stands apart from more conventional undead formations.

Whether you are starting Cryx Necrofactorium or exploring its supernatural side, Wraithbinder's Host brings a terrifying gathering of vengeful spirits and necromechanical creations to your Warmachine collection.

Current rules and army-building information are available through the official Warmachine app.
