Combo: 4x Autocanons 115pts without more, is less than the pain of losing them ; p
Rating: ****
ObliteratorA bit less expensive than before they can now get marked. That make them less vulnerable to force 8 and 9 ( mark Nurgle ) , they won the assault cannon , but must change weapon every turn. A very good unit who suffer of a major flaw 8Ld not fearless WTF!! lol they are one men army lol. Because of that reason I only see them to serve as suicide units or a bodyguard for lord in terminator armor.
Combo: Mark of Nurgle with Abbadon reroll 1 with them is really nasty surprise.
evaluation ***Forgefiendsa Playable units if you keep him with Hades Autocanon.Better range no get hot and cheaper.
Combo: Like Havoc he can fully benefit of the Primaris spell from divination, only accessible with allies or by chance in our codex.
Rating:***
Maulerfiends
More efficiency than the Hellbrute for almost the same price. Faster, with more attack, an a 5++ save, fear rule(negligible merit),without crazy rule and more dangerous for the tanks he is bit more expensive (negligible) than a Hellbrute in counter part is more vulnerable in CC because of the melta bombs and the enemy walkers ( CC3, I3),no range weapon will make him useless with a single immobilized roll. In despite of his flaws he can put stress on the opponent who are afraid to lose his Land raider or his bunker.
Staff Combo: with cutter running after tank protecting flank and lock unit if necessary.Rating: *****
DefilerThe fragility of the AV 12 in this edition make me reluctant to take it. It was not my first choice, but the facts it may take a power scourge he can also take dirge caster I tried it a couple of time and it was cool with fleet is a wonderful counter charge. I also try him with 2x havoc launcher and warpflame you could be surprise how much is efficiency you will put Warpflame on the whole table, try to tag 2 units with same template. I kill like 200 pts of Blood Angel just with warpflame lol.
Combo staff : 2x Havoc 1x fist, warpflame. As daemon he can also use the rule of the book of the true name Chaos daemon artifact a 3++ walker is sad.
Rating: *** or **** much depends on the enemy listChaos Land RaiderA 230 pts, 20 pts is less expensive than its loyalist counterpart but you will not benefit from the machine spirit rule, you carry 2 figure less and more importantly you do not have the famous multi- melta 10 pts which is often a threat. In short it is a land raider for everything that has his , but it have no particular flavor. Effective against swarm armies , but a lot less against list with suicide melta (sternguard, termicide, karskin etc almost all army can have one for cheap, cheaper than your LR).
Combo : may serve as a transport Death star (expression used to describe a former elite devastating units : chosen, termi etc and / or serve as a cover for another unit as Maulerfiend Demon prince Etc. I personally use my Lascanon in snap shot against flyer is the same as shoot a rhino at tis time and Str 9 hit flyer as hell, build a meat shield of 6 inch for denied the suicide squad.
Rating: ****
Chaos VindicatorAt 120 pts is really a boon wich can support the upgrade of demonic possession . A respectable addition to a list.Combo: Demonic Possession and the addition of a secondary weapon will greatly increase the duration of your firepower one do so. Not recommended for foot army scattering is sad.
Rating: ****
Chaos PredatorIf the Space Wolf on the predator autocannon heavy bolter are the less expensive of the entire game Chaos Space Marine on the predator combined laser cannon and laser cannon sponsons cheaper 140pts, which it tend to became a standard cost through 6th . A good support unit.
Combo : as described full laser cannon behind the defense lines .Rating: ****
TRANSPORT DESIGNATEDRhinoThe good old butter box has little need of description , good for added survivability has a squad is from the 6th edition of a poor addition to a CC unit.Combo : Used sparingly in reserve avoiding to give a too easy a first blood.Rating: ***
