I've slowly building up an Demon Engine list (Mauler Fiends, Forge Fiends, Hell Drakes etc etc,), but struggling to find a decent option for clearing chaff units, that isn't itself vulnerable to small arms fire (on of the main advantages of the list is that anti-infantry fire is largely without a good target). Anyone got any ideas/experience with high toughness chaos units that can rip though chaff in the first turn or two?


There's a ton in the Forge World catalogue for Chaos, and they're all Hellforged daemon-engines (fluffwise, most lack the daemon engine keywords because of the Hellforged keyword) to boot.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755617/9945490.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755617/9945490.page GMT Chaff clearing for Demon Engine lists
Chaff cleared.

Not truly a deamon engine, but it works...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755617/9945517.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755617/9945517.page GMT Chaff clearing for Demon Engine lists AoS monsters, but non of the flying beasties are big enough to be a fire raptor.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755617/9946884.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755617/9946884.page GMT Chaff clearing for Demon Engine lists AOS phoenix perhaps? might still be a little small.

Nurgle foetid bloat drones are probably exactly what you’re looking for, and you can throw them into whatever detachment you want as long as everything else is also marked Nurgle. So 3 bloat drones and a Nurgle Chaos Lord of whatever Legion, no need to even bring more death guard units. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755617/9951162.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755617/9951162.page GMT Chaff clearing for Demon Engine lists D6 auto hits?

Nice idea with the Bloat Drones. I was thinking of adding some Nurgly goodness anyway.

Thanks all


Just note its almost 500 points of a list, but it fits the theme]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755617/9952635.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755617/9952635.page GMT Chaff clearing for Demon Engine lists FW Decimator w/ C-beam as alternative to Contemptor Dread? It's more fluffy as it's a daemon engine and still has the C-beam exploding chaff funtimes. Has been 3+ too pretty sure. Not sure on modelling ideas though; there has to be some hulking bipedal beastie that would work.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755617/9953397.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755617/9953397.page GMT Chaff clearing for Demon Engine lists
That said a Decimator always struck me more as a ‘march up and clean your clock’ unit.

C beams can’t move and fire, so I’m not sure it would be an ideal fit.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755617/9953443.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755617/9953443.page GMT Chaff clearing for Demon Engine lists HQ murder machine. If it's just sitting back and clearing chaff, go Contemptor or other Dreadnoughts. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755617/9959882.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755617/9959882.page GMT Chaff clearing for Demon Engine lists http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755617/9959888.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755617/9959888.page GMT Chaff clearing for Demon Engine lists http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755617/9959896.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755617/9959896.page GMT Chaff clearing for Demon Engine lists

Are Heldrakes not good at clearing chaff?

Heldrakes kill 4,7 Guardsmen a turn (Shooting + Melee) for 185pts. They're arguably the worse Chaff clearing unit in the Codex (tied with Lascan Predators ).]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755617/9960379.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755617/9960379.page GMT Chaff clearing for Demon Engine lists

Lol
Yup, Heldrakes are great for many things, but not clearing. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755617/9960401.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755617/9960401.page GMT Chaff clearing for Demon Engine lists http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755617/9960813.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755617/9960813.page GMT Re:Chaff clearing for Demon Engine lists http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755617/9966005.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755617/9966005.page GMT Chaff clearing for Demon Engine lists http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755617/9967165.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755617/9967165.page GMT Chaff clearing for Demon Engine lists
2 Blast Masters are a great weapon, vs Chaff it's 2d6 s4 shots with AP1 and ignores cover. And once chaff is gone you can switch to the single frequency.

You can add a Missile launcher for a cheap ranged dread or a fist to mix it up on in melee! Great Dakka for the price]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755617/9972078.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/755617/9972078.page GMT
