Marauder Cav

I have heard that Marauder Cav are effective warmachine hunters, and as someone who plays Dwarves a lot, this is crutial for my army.

How do you guys kit out your Marauder Cav? Or, is there another cheap(er) warmachine huntering unit?

Thanks in advance.

The best option for that job is probably MoS and Spears or something. I run my Marauder cav with MoK and Flails, but then they can be baited and whatnot. :)

I like using MoS, flails, and musician on 5-6 marauder cav. If I have the points I'll put javelins on them as well. They are fragile but can do double duty hunting support units as well.

Though, I can't see them doing very well at hunting a hellblaster or organ gun. :P

They are only "effective" because they are better than any other unit of troops in the book, not because they are really likely to kill a war machine. A disc rider is almost certainly better, although more expensive. Vanguard, move 8, and Swiftstride means they can get to a war machine faster than anything else, and they hit enough to take out a traditional machine. But flight is a lot more effective for reaching a properly defended war machine, and I don't see horsemen doing much against the "modern" war machines, like the Hellcannon or Ogre things.

Mark of Slaanesh and Flails get the job done.

Yep as Rothgar13 said, 2 units of MoS with flails and Musician and go for the flanks. Even if 2 out of 5 models survive the shooting you have 2S5 and 2S3 attacks vs. 2/3 models. You are most likely to kill them.
