What's the most efficient way of killing off Meganobz using KDK? D-thirsters seem like they're going to want FNP from the Bloodtithe before going anywhere near MANz, but other than that the one unit I can see doing it is the Forgefiend, which has the issue of being a Forgefiend...

Hidden axes of khorne should be useful.

Daemon princes might be better than d thirstier due to pure budget, and higher initiative attacks. Being MCs they got the AP2 for it via smash USR.

And don't underestimate forgefiends.

If it was me, I would try to assault them with cheap cultists. Preferably large mobs of them. I suspect that a blob of 20 ccw cultists will force enough rolls on the charge to do some damage.

Other than what you already mentioned, shooting from forge fiends / hel brutes / defilers might work but I wouldn't have much faith in that. Maybe use flesh hounds?

20 cultists do a little more than 3 wounds on the charge if they all get to swing. That's 1 1/2 MANz. Dogs do better if they all get to swing, but their footprint is pretty big.

Did you figure in their auto pistol shots too before they charge? Are you counting their bonus attacks from their mark? Still, points wise, I'd still argue that cultists are your most points effective means of dealing with them.

Focus on the transports. They're very slow otherwise.

Anything with AP2, initiative greater than one, and Str 8 or better to ID them. If they're not running BulkyBoyz, they don't have Fearless. Ld-based psychic attacks do well.

Maulerfiends should mince them in combat. I know deff dreads eat mega nobs and maulerfiends demolish deff dreads. You strike first and instakill the meganobz with ap2 attacks.

Maulerfiends will statistically kill <2 meganobz. And than gets problems vs killsaws like all walkers. Ig he's running >3 in a squad with at least one with a pair of killsaws, for example, bully boyz, i'd not risk charging them as you'll loose more than gain.

Daemon Prince with Goredrinker gives you I8 S8 Ap2 on the charge which cuts MANz apart.

Isnt goredrinker unwieldy?

MCs ignore Unwieldy, but a Daemon Prince with Goredrinker can't take the FNP + EW armour, making him rather vulnerable for the massive investment. Doggies seem like the best option so far.

DP has AP2 without any weapon due to being MC. You really don't need anything special there.

Depends on your strategy; Kill or occupy.

I usually just throw a cheap Bloodthirster in their faces - Then they crumble completely.

Alternatively you can lock them down with Spawn. With their T5 and fearless they can take up such a squad for 2-3 rounds easily if you got 5 of them.

Ok i was unsure about that, makes it even better then.
And so the powerklaws will instakill him without the blood forged armor then.
