tbone Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 While I know some people aren't a fan of the Maulerfiend, I am. So I'm asking fellow Maulerfiend fans how they like to loadout their dinobots and how has it been working for you?

Thor{DoH} Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I go with magma cutters. Where I play we have a lot of power armor and that means krak/melts bombs and they only need that one attack for it. So, reducing attacks has meant virtually nothing to me because they are using grenades anyway so I may as well get some extra hits in.

Xenith Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I would also go with the cutters, potentially killing another couple of dudes off sees you receiving fewer attacks in return anyways.

Hezirah Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I would also go with the cutters, potentially killing another couple of dudes off sees you receiving fewer attacks in return anyways. Quite sure that magma cutter's extra attack goes against a model, not the unit.

Iron_Within Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I don't think it's specified with the Magma cutters, so it could go either way (that said I don't have my codex to hand). I generally go with Magma cutters; they are for pouncing on things using their large threat range and ignoring cover. Lasher tendrils I have used in the past and it depend on who your facing. Facing an enemy with lots of models with multiple attacks like Orks or Tyranids then it's funny to tarpit them. Though overall I think Magma Cutters are best for when they are foolish enough to get that squishy unit or vehicle in range (and by Squishy I mean most things that have good armour, because the MF just makes a mess of them) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/281947-magma-cutters-or-lasher-tendrils/#findComment-3496034 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Just checked and it specifies that the cutter attacks are against one of the models hit. I guess it's insurance if the dudes you're attacking make their invun, etc. Still, it's not great.

Chaeron Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I've magnetised for both options - but haven't made up my mind either! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/281947-magma-cutters-or-lasher-tendrils/#findComment-3496417 Share on other sites More sharing options...
minionboy Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 It depends on your local meta. I never leave home without at least one of each, the third one just depends in Monstrous Creatures are common lately or not. If you're not thinking you'll face many MC's, then by all means, load up on Magma Cutters... That said, I'd always take at least one with Lasher Tendrils.
