<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "CSM/Daemons - Knight vs Soul Grinders?"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/69.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net CSM/Daemons - Knight vs Soul Grinders? CSM army with Daemon allies...likely mono-Nurgle but I may branch out at some point. Basically what I am considering for my heavy armor is either a Forgehost formation (3x Soul Grinders) or a Daemon Allied Detachment using a single Soul Grinder and attaching a Chaos/Renegade Knight. Both options price out around 550-600 points depending on wargear.

The core of the army will be built around Chaos Marines primary CAD using Typhus with Zombies and Plague Marines for troops.

I've never played a knight, so am I better with that or 2 more Soul Grinders? The Forgehost also has the special rule that if a model causes an unsaved wound, others in the formation get to re-roll hits and wounds for the turn...which could be quite powerful and makes Warp Gaze much more viable. Opinions/suggestions welcome, thanks!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701212/8875593.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701212/8875593.page GMT CSM/Daemons - Knight vs Soul Grinders? CC threats that can aid the other Daemon CC units, rather than just 1 big CC threat that doesn't really need help.
However since you are primarily using CSM, I might go with the Knight/Grinder rather than the Forge Host. CSM benefit much more by having a Knight since they do not have as many good/fast CC units as Daemons do.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701212/8875655.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701212/8875655.page GMT CSM/Daemons - Knight vs Soul Grinders? CSM also benefit from a Knight with 2 Gatling guns because they don't have much firepower either... 3 Soul Grinders (especially Nurgle ones in cover) can be pretty awesome too though.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701212/8876235.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701212/8876235.page GMT CSM/Daemons - Knight vs Soul Grinders? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701212/8877127.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701212/8877127.page GMT CSM/Daemons - Knight vs Soul Grinders?

how good are mauler fiends?

Pretty darn good, especially with lash tendrils. Their only downside (and I have done this in multiple games) is being Immobilized.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701212/8877779.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701212/8877779.page GMT CSM/Daemons - Knight vs Soul Grinders?
I hadn't considered the Maulerfiend mostly because it only has one role and is easier for the enemy to play around or focus-fire (especially in a Nurgle army). I can deep strike a Nurgle Grinder or sit it in cover and force somebody to come get it.

Or it just might be more fun to model a Knight instead of 2 more Grinders... ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701212/8878328.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701212/8878328.page GMT CSM/Daemons - Knight vs Soul Grinders? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701212/8878400.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/701212/8878400.page GMT
