Cryx Necrofactorium Mechanithrall Swarm B

Death is rarely the end for those unfortunate enough to fall into the hands of the Nightmare Empire. Deep within the workshops of the Necrofactorium, Cryxian necrosurgeons transform lifeless bodies into obedient soldiers, combining dark necromancy with brutal mechanical engineering.

The resulting Mechanithralls are among the most numerous and expendable servants of Cryx.

Their bodies are reconstructed using scavenged mechanical components, reinforced limbs and necromantic power. Whatever identities they possessed in life have been stripped away, leaving only instruments of war programmed to carry out the commands of their masters.

Individually, these creatures may lack the sophistication of the Nightmare Empire's more advanced creations. Together, however, they become a dangerous force capable of overwhelming even determined opponents.

Mechanithrall Swarm B represents a five-model formation of these undead soldiers, ready to reinforce a Cryx Necrofactorium army.

Relentless Undead Assaults

Mechanithrall Swarms are designed to fight through coordinated aggression rather than individual heroics.

Their Gang ability rewards attacking enemies alongside other members of the formation, making the unit increasingly dangerous when multiple Mechanithralls converge on the same opponent.

This encourages players to position their models carefully, using the swarm's numbers to threaten isolated enemies and force openings in defensive formations.

Their Vengeance ability further reinforces their relentless nature, allowing the unit to respond after suffering enemy attacks.

Rather than simply absorbing casualties, Mechanithralls can use the pressure of battle to advance and retaliate against their opponents.

The 2026 Warmachine rules update also granted Mechanithrall Swarms Combo Strike as an innate ability, improving their capacity to threaten tougher enemies through concentrated melee attacks.

Together, these abilities establish a distinctive battlefield role: close the distance, surround vulnerable targets and continue attacking even as casualties mount.

Strength Through Numbers

The greatest strength of a Mechanithrall Swarm is rarely found in a single model. Instead, it comes from the collective pressure generated by several undead soldiers fighting together.

For Cryx Necrofactorium commanders, this creates opportunities to develop armies around numerous infantry formations supported by necromantic specialists.

Master Necrosurgeon Sepsira is particularly associated with Mechanithrall-heavy forces. Her command over these undead soldiers allows them to operate with remarkable coordination, while her Graveyard Shift feat reinforces the army's emphasis on returning expendable troops to battle.

The Necrosurgeon Initiates also complement Mechanithrall Swarms through their Grim Returns ability, which can restore fallen trooper models under the appropriate conditions.

A Skarlock Lieutenant provides additional support, while the Mechanithrall Swarm Warden offers defensive capabilities intended to improve the survivability of these otherwise expendable formations.

These interactions make Mechanithrall Swarms particularly appealing to players who enjoy attrition-based strategies, coordinated infantry attacks and the ability to maintain pressure throughout a battle.

Expand Your Cryx Necrofactorium Collection

Mechanithrall Swarm B is a separate five-model unit release, allowing players to expand their infantry formations without purchasing another complete army box.

The unit also appears in the Cryx Necrofactorium Core Expansion and the Legions of the Dead Army Box.

For hobbyists who already own one of these sets, purchasing an additional swarm provides another opportunity to build a force centred on the overwhelming numbers of the Nightmare Empire.

Mechanithrall Swarms are also particularly suitable for painters who enjoy creating cohesive infantry formations.

Their combination of decaying flesh, exposed machinery and corroded metal provides plenty of opportunities for experimenting with weathering, unhealthy skin tones and necromantic effects.

Subtle variations between individual models can help create the appearance of an army assembled from the remains of countless fallen soldiers, while shared colours and metallic finishes maintain the visual unity of the force.

Whether used to reinforce an existing infantry-heavy army or to begin building a larger undead legion, Mechanithrall Swarm B embodies the relentless brutality of Cryx Necrofactorium.

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