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. :) Theo |

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. |
