Very good again. Im glad to see how the maulerfiend did a great job because I love that model but wasnt 100% sure if could make a big difference in a game

The maulers are fantastic. They are cheap, have an invulnerable save and can regenerate hull points. They dont have shooting but their speed + fleet means they are on you turn 2. And you HAVE to deal with them. The only thing you can do if you cant shoot them down is bog them in CC with fearless units. Both times I have faced them they have annihilated me. Thats because my lances have missed almost every time, and then, the helldrake arrives.
