Not a fan of mauler fiends or forgefiends in this incarnation of their rules. So I guess I default to Kytan, though I don't really have any experience with that model. I also dislike that they don't get access to the legion trait. You could consider a Land Raider for transporting your World Eaters. FW also has some nice Heavy slot units, including Dreadnoughts which would benefit from your legion trait (Thanks to the FAQ). Oblits and Havocs would also benefit.

Skkipper Posted June 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 why don't mauler fiends get butchers nails? the can get <legion> so they get the extra attack on the charge. each mauler fiend with lasher tendrils get 5 str 12 ap-3 dmg 3 6 str 6 ap -2 dmg 2 attacks when uninjured and charge.

Guest Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 Legion traits only apply to HELLBRUTES, INFANTRY, BIKERS, and, with the FAQ, Daemon Princes. They still count as part of the legion, but they don't get the trait. EDIT: Believe me, I'm not happy about being right here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 Regarding Maulerfiends, its the BS/WS of 4+ base, and then it has degrading speed, attacks and strength. And he's not a cheap unit, minimum 152pts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, so heavy choices, is it still between maulerfiends and a kytan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 The fact that MaulerFiends can't climb to higher levels in Ruins anymore frustrates me as well. Forgefiends are only good with a buff character of some sort babysitting them. So, yeah, the Kytan is likely the best all around option.

Tallarn Commander Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 I've had good luck with a single Maulerfiend with tendrils this edition. It's not flashy, but it does yeoman's work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't used them this edition, nor seen them used, but seems like they have decent melee potential and a ridiculous speed. Plus in this edition, they are closer to Jump infantry than a flyer, since they lack a minimum move speed. Should be easy to get a turn 1 charge with helldrakes. Dunno if worthwhile.

Guest Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 Oh, just a reminder that the Lord of Skulls got a rather substantial price drop, while the Kytan hasn't been updated in a while. So the Kytan is 514pts and the Lord of Skulls (with cheapest weapons) is 538pts, so only a 24pt difference. That's Skullhurler and Ichor Cannon as the cheapest weapons.

Skkipper Posted June 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 at the storm of silence, I had the scorpion, Kytan, and lord of skulls. The lord of skulls was the most powerful for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPaceORK Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 If your going fluffy, kytan. I personally don't like mine, known as McPillowfists. I would maybe throw in a bloodthirster cause it's cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 3 hours ago, Skkipper said: Berserkers are never troops unless I am missing a rule somewhere. It was in the index and was FAQed to the codex: Berzerkers are troops for World Eater Detachments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestRider Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Yep. They forgot to include that and the swap for Emperor's Children Noise Marines in the Codex, but fixed them in the FAQ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
