Jamesb_05 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Plan to pick up three of these bad boys, what are people's experience with them on the table? They look quite killy for the points, and reeeeaaally quick, but tell me your thoughts and tactics :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khornestar Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I finally assembled and half-painted my two after years in their packaging. Gonna try em out on Thursday alongside 3 maulerfiends. Just rush and kill, pretty much my strategy. Elite infantry/monsters are ideal targets, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look a nightmare and I've never used resin before... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khornestar Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I wouldn’t say nightmare, but you can only dry fit or blu tack so much before gluing the pieces into place. I think it would be easy to build a dorky or boring looking pose (like those on FW’s site) but due to having so many pieces for the legs you could get really creative. I copied a famous pose (somewhat poorly) for one, and made my own half-decent pose for the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheex Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I've only assembled one, but I suggest drilling a hole into the bottom of the model and running a piece of wire from there into a base, before working on the legs. This gives you a little stability while the glue dries, and you can just remove the wire and fill the hole when you're done. Â As for games, haven't had a chance to use it in 8th yet but it looks very good. Khornestar and Tamika 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khornestar Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Yeah, the number of attacks at ws3+ S10 (full wounds) and 3 damage seems pretty badass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGibs Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I have two and run them occasionally. Theyre generally pretty great, and blenderize anything they touch. They do draw a hell of a lot of fire though, partly because theyre so fast and agressive. 10w isnt that durable and they do degrade pretty quick, so expect them to get trashed by the end of most games.

Jamesb_05 Posted October 27, 2017 Author Share Posted October 27, 2017 That's what I'm thinking, I'd love to keep them with a hellwright and dark apostle but it seems like a waste of their movement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backslide Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I tend to use 3 or 4 they are brutal more so with the helforged stragem, I pared them with a Dp with warp time threw one out front and it crippled a knight  Even at lowest wounds still s8 mine all have double blades and keep killing till they are gone  I have 5 painted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khornestar Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 I think that will be too big, personally. The Maulerfiend base works pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesb_05 Posted October 28, 2017 Author Share Posted October 28, 2017 Shiiiiiit thought they were the same size, really wish they listed on the website what base size the models come with, they definitely used to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheex Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 The Maulerfiend base is the same size as a typical flyer base, so you should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
