Hellbrute?

100pts, a Hellbrute with two powerfists?

Good? I don't know. It's kinda like 15 points more than a Deff Dread with two skorchas but without the two heavy flamers... (I think I have my answer there...)

12 av. 10 av on the back, no ranged, no fleet, no drop pod.  less rhinos, so less mech saturation. krak grenades...  its just a bad unit.

Maulerfiends are better, so are forgefiends.  I could see it in a list with 3x iether of those plus 3+ units of marines in rhinos.  Lots of  armoured targets so they have a chance of making it to combat.


But... meh?
