cookie's Caledonian test lists

[Agent0range]

Well after my game against JJ eldar tonight I learned a few things:

1) everyone is scared of the mauler fiends, so they ignore the forge fiend, which can one shot armour 12 tanks with good dice.

2) Mauler fiends resist mass str6 shooting pretty well

3) I don't need invisibility to get across the board when its long edges

4) terrify is good, as it got rid of the D cannons and JJ's warlord + his unit of fire dragons

5) try to avoid having the biker unit drive though terrain, they lost 3 wounds to failed dangerous terrain tests this game

6) mauler fiends can fight tank hunting unit in melee and stand a chance

7) the biker squad need to not kill everything with witch fire powers if it wants to charge, as it count as shooting.

8) combi-bolters on the champions is helpful when every dice counts

Glad to hear it went well. I LOVE my Maulerfiends, they're the secret stars of the CSM codex. Might try and shoehorn a third one in my list, and possibly drop the Heldrake, but will do some playtesting first before I do. Do you find that the Forgefiend does well in games? It always seems quite expensive in points to me, and with BS3 on paper it doesn't seem like as much of a good deal as the maulerfiend.
