This is my new article series about playing Cryx from the perspective of a competitive player that has primarily played Beast Heavy Legion. AKA…me. So a little about me. My name is Charles Arrasmith. I go by Omnus on all the forums. My nerdness runs deep in this game. I run a forum for organizing the players in my state (Washington), I am one of the hosts of Removed From Play, I play competitively but I am also a Press Ganger and a Judge for Warmachine.
