Cryx Wraith Engine!!

The new Cryx Battle Engine, the Wraith Engine was featured on the front page of Privateer Press's website.  Stay tuned for some speculations on the new Battle Engine!
Well, following the spoilers of the Retribution Battle Engine, the Arcantrik Force Generator (AFG), we can take some educated guesses as to what the statline and point value may be.  In general, I think this guy looks faster than the AFG, most likely more dodgy, but less durable.  This is the same trend that Cryx seems to follow with their 'jacks, with the Slayer chassis being DEF 13 ARM 17, compared to the Khador Juggernaut Chassis, being DEF 10 ARM 20.

So, here's my predicted statline:

SPD 5, STR 9, MAT 7 (or 8), RAT 6, DEF 12, ARM 18, CMD who cares?

No ranged attack.

Massive Claw x2
P+S 14
*attack Thresher

15 damage boxes, FA 2, PC 9-10
Back of card

*action - Incorporeal for one round.
*action - Place a AOE 5 cloud effect within 3".

Cull Soul, or a non-caster equivalent.



Also, as an aside, it is rumored that Battle Engines will have special rules, like Cavalry got when they came out.  A few that were already spoiled were: can't be moved by a slam, push, throw, can't be placed, etc.  It moves itself and that's it.

Well, there you have it.  Another wildly baseless, and somewhat random, speculation on the new Cryx Wraith Engine.
