If you intend to get them into the veil at least two are nessicary or other threats like a winged DP. For 125pts they are a great distraction unit for a deep striking army. It absorbes a ton of fire for cheap. I may proxy a forgefiend this Sunday but as you said oblits are superior.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526223/5603065.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526223/5603065.page GMT Maulerfiend tactics? DP's and a unit of Fiends of Slaanesh. The pressure in turn 2 was too much for me to deal with.
I would say that the maulerfiend is very competitive and when used in synergy with soporific musk and attaching lasher tendrils they become a very serious threat.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526223/5603089.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526223/5603089.page GMT Re:Maulerfiend tactics? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526223/5604990.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526223/5604990.page GMT Maulerfiend tactics? inv save units like wraiths who might save the power fists attacks.

The problem is the standard problem all H2H vehicles have. A roll of imobilized or dead means it is out of the game, and those rolls pop up at the most inconvient times.

In 8+ games running 2-3 maulers (along with other similar threats such as spawn, princes, or lords, they made combat a total of twice. They were useful in the game once. They are just to easy to kill off and the units you want them to kill will die quicker and easier to other units in the chaos codes, it is the codes of killy H2H guys after all. If you want something of that nature take greater daemons or daemon allies with other flying monsters. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526223/5605112.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526223/5605112.page GMT Maulerfiend tactics? AV targets to live that much longer. I usually just try to tie up a unit long enough for my Lord to saunter over and Mace 'em.

But on the other hand, I've faced others who depend on the Maulerfiend to take down armor. But a good player will use armor as bait & then punk the Mauler with melta.

Once I played one guy who ran 3. I got lucky & killed 2 right off. He had nothing left after that. So all in all, I think the Maulerfiend is a good unit, but no centerpiece. It is fun because it can move so fast & get stuck in by turn 1 or 2. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526223/5605738.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526223/5605738.page GMT Maulerfiend tactics? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526223/5605980.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526223/5605980.page GMT Maulerfiend tactics?

Maulerfiends are great I run 3 pretty much in all my 1500 point plus lists. They are cheap and really durable when taken in numbers with other fast threats in the list. They serve two purposes, they can smash armour or they can tie up large troop units preventing them from scoring. They also are really good at absorbing overwatch. You will have games where they don't do anything other than die but I haven't had a game where that has happened and my demon prince didn't murder my opponent.

In smaller pt games such as at the 1500 pt level, three Maulerfiends are hard to deal with. Things change when you play at the 2000 pt level. One player here has 3 Maulerfiends and 3 Helldrakes. Pretty scary, but he still didn't win our last RTT with them (Necrons won).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526223/5606214.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526223/5606214.page GMT Re:Maulerfiend tactics? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526223/5606384.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526223/5606384.page GMT Maulerfiend tactics? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526223/5606706.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/526223/5606706.page GMT Re:Maulerfiend tactics?
It's also a BIG model, good for blocking LOS and giving cover to Rhinos and the like.

They definitely have a role in a fast, agressive army with lots of calvary/beasts/jump troops/transports.

This is one of the best ways to wipe out things like mega nobs, terminators, grey knights etc because the lasher tendrils severely reduce the enemy's ability to fight back and the combined attack of a Dp and mauler should be plenty to destroy most things. but in general if you run a mauler straight at your opponent it will soak up a lot of fire and still probably earn its points back in kills.
