not really, i still run my dogs, in their usual role. if i couldnt get two charges at once i tried to hold combat with a block and use the marauders to punch in the sides in rd 2. also used them to keep enemy units out of your flanks and eat up their chaff. they dont all survive. but you cant shoot them all to death, and dont get a lot of attacks back if their in a flank. i think 2 of the 5 survived. movement is ok. move them up with your main infantry. should give it a go. its different from the standard lists.

I run two units of 10 with flails. No command or marks. These guys do work, if used properly. At 50 points a pop, they are a must have, I feel. They either come in on a flank and will almost always get their points back, or I use them to screen my warrior block and my small chosen block (I run 1 unit of 12). My chosen unit is frenzied so having 50 points to prevent them from running off when I don't want them to is great. Also, being frenzied, I can flee charges with my marauders and it won't matter for the chosen.

However, I realize my list is unconventional....at best. So most people won't find this viable. However, even in the cookie cutter list, I would say find a way to get a couple 10 packs in there with flails. They won't disappoint!

5x 10 marauders slaanesh flails
15 warriors ahw, slaanesh, muso, bearer
15 warriors halberd, shield, muso, bearer, nurgle, banner of rage

sorc lvl2, tzeench, disc, golden eye, dispel scroll, bloodcurling roar

I think that list would play pretty well. I like it.

I prefer using a marauder unit of 10 wide and 5 or 6 deep. Then you have 3 attacking ranks instead of 2.
Against high elves i destroyed a white lion chariot, a unit of 35 spearmen with general, and half of his swordmaster unit (after that my chosen butchered his swordmasters).
This way I think they are great!
