Editing Soul Grinder (section)

===4th and 5th edition===
The Soul Grinder was introduced in 4th edition when the Chaos Space Marines and Daemons were separated into their own garbage codices. It's baseline stats are pretty neat, with F/SA13, two dreadnought close combat weapons, a Harvester Cannon (which on launch was basically a shootier heavy stubber) and a Mawcannon with three optional profiles: "phlegm" or what is basically a battle cannon pie plate, "vomit" or an S+1 heavy flamer and "tongue" - the S10 AP1 shot. Tongue and phlegm had to be bought and former was just not worth it - 1 shot at BS3 was too sketchy. It might occasionally hit something but considering that it had to be deepstruck to get onto the table, you would likely get one shot before the Soul Grinder's fiery demise... which said nothing about the risk in deepstriking this model's [[Rip and Tear|HUEG GUTS]]. You would basically be relying on another squad's icon to guide you or praying a bad scatter doesn't throw your model into the bin. Worst of all was the model's cost, at over 200 pts. base and one of two HS choices in the codex.

5th edition made Soul Grinders even more useless with Wardex Spess Muhreens fucking with deep strikes, blasting them into oblivion and even granting new HS choices--Seeker Chariots specifically--to the Daemons. The Soul Grinder would have to wait until 6th edition in order to get ''any'' use.
