Hello i am about to start a new csm army and would greatly appreciate a quick answer on my questions, before I buy the models

1. Whats the base size for a chaos lord mounted on a juggernaut?

2. The maulerfiend has two power fists in its wargear description and 2 base attacks. Does that mean that its effectivly 3 base attacks?

And abou the magma cutters.. they hit one model hit by the fiend at i1. If the models hit already are dead (which usually happens with a p.fist..), But there is still models in that unit, does it inflict two more wounds on the unit or is the attacks wasted?

1- 60mm base
2- he has +1 attack for 2 ccw so yeah basically 3 attacks base
3-the hits with magma cutters only hit a model wounded by my reading so only works against mc and vehicles really

I have gotten these on 60mm and cavalry bases. The rule is to use the one that came with the model.

Yes, you get the extra attack for having an extra weapon.

Magma cutters only affect models who have already been hit. They are really for hitting vehicles.

I keep track even against common infantry with my maulerfiends because if you roll a 1 to wound a space marine then the magmacutters can still kick in to finish the model. It's also handy when fighting models with invulnerable saves.

Thanks for your answers. Now I have one more question for you.

Im rthinking about playing a Deamon prince with mastery level 3 and using biomancy to keep him alive.
Is he able to cast endurance on himself? The reason I ask is that it sats its a blessing targeting a friendly unit within 24". Does that mean that he can be his own friendly unit?

A friend and I had some dispute over this, so I would like to be sure and have as good argument before I bring s 295 pts prince against a army with too many s10 attacks

Yep, he can cast blessings on himself as he's a friendly model...to himself. Sounds like he's making up imaginary friends with oneself though. It's so sad . Good night sweet daemon prince.

Note, however that as csm, your daemon prince isforced to be marked, thus has to waste one level on the god's table. Which are worse than mediocre.

Yes I know but hopefully I can roll a 1 or 5 anyway on biomancy.

Another question.. Can a prince of Nurgle (shrouded) with Wings (jink rule) make 2+ cover save IF it chooses to jink? Sounds like this is a bit too good to not be suspicious.. But accordimg to the rulebook it should be legal.

Yep, he can perform a breakdance on the ground and get 2+ cover in the open even if he's not flying. Some rule inconsistency about jink but RAW it works.

Consider the black mace for your dp. It's a hell lot of attacks that are ap2 thanks to him being MC.

Everything koooaei has said is truth.
Especially this.

Thats Nice! And white scars that are so proud of their 3+ jink :p I will certainly play my deamon Prince a lot more often now, as ranged attacks are nothing to worry about! Maybe he can take more offensive spells instead, then commit to cc later exactly where he wants to fight.

Too bad my slaaneshi prince can't really do that :(

I wish we had lists of abilities we could purchase from to customize like the old days.

The confusion here is that "on the ground" is a state that doesn't exist. FMCs are either swooping or gliding, and can jink in either mode.
