That last sentence makes me wonder if you mean clawed fiends (the big gorilla rat things) or khymarae (the quadrupeds that look more like the old warp beasts from the first codex.)
Both seem good in their own ways. Khymarae are as cheap as wyches, hit about as hard, and don't need a transport to quickly get up the table. If you go second, I could see these guys being good for advance + charging at an enemy unit that wandered onto an objective turn 1. They're a lot like wyches with the movement, strength, and toughness drugs but with one fewer attacks. I like them.
I think of clawed fiends as faster, squishier grotesques. They move faster, can be advance + charged just like khymarae, and have a very similar offensive output to a grotesque. However, they're 25 points per dude with a 5+ save, and they look scary across the table. I feel like it might be difficult to keep them alive long enough to be a good investment.
I only own one clawed fiend, but I've used both fiends and khymarae in the past as mobile screens and easy-to-hide objective achievers. They can't perform most actions, so you probably won't put them directly on an objective, BUT they're fast and small enough to hide on the flanks for Engage on All Fronts or linebreaker or to just sprinkle around the table to screen out deepstrikers. If you want to run larger units and actually do damage with them, the Leadership drug on the beastmaster is a must.
Yeah I meant the clawed fiends Aka big purple gorilla looking things 
Probably the only DE models I like. If they were plastic Id have a couple by now but bit of a low priority to hunt down in OOP metal.

I'll be honest, given your general level of saltiness and negativity I just kind of assumed you were a dark eldar player.
Didn't realise you could ever admit to being wrong about anything.. Fascinating.

All of the dexes will be out by June of next year at the latest. If we do step back up to two/ month, they'll all be out by the end of this year.
We are in april already
By my estimates there are 13 armies(see below) waiting for updates,12 if you consider ad mech potentialy getting dropped in april, however with covid and delays etc that have been prevalent they would have to stick to a strict 1 codex a month I just dont see it happening. Also It would not surprise me if we see another SM codex/ Moar supplements before the year is out. Because GW...
GK
CWE
Harlies
Chaos Demons
AD mech
GSC
Tyranids
SOB
CSM
TS
IG
IK
CK
Have I forgotten any?

Its going to be late 2022 at the absolute best then for everyone to have a codex.. But honestly I dont think they will keep it up at 1 dex a month. They going to wana sell us those campaign books etc

Right, but the factor here is they're still doing 'other books' (broken realms, mission packs (crusade and otherwise), Warzone Chacha, etc). So the idea that they'll return to the brief 'codex' flurry of the end-of-2020 (which was actually mostly SM supplements) anytime soon seems unreasonable.
Charadon seems to have been designed to release in the same window as AM, Knights, and DE. We just see the screwed up release dates. The next Charadon book will likely have 3 or 4 codexes tied in as well that should release in tandem. Then we'll have AoS for a bit and catch whatever comes in the Fall.
What are the odds that when/if charadon book bombs (Likely) they will decide that was because they released too much. I.E. People will buy DE book but not both because its clearly just stuff cut from the dex being sold as a 4P add on..
They still invested tp make those books and will need to recoup costs. So my guess is they will force a break from codexes and drop the campaign book so people will buy it as there wont be a codex anounced etc.
Not to mention, they obviously going to do another SM codex and supplement wave

Exactly. That's a lot of books..
It always sucks to be the last ones to get your rules.
I just wished they'd did it in the order of armies needing updates the most. I.E. GK, CSM getting their second wound.
The fact that it could end up being 2 years for the Wound disparity between CSM and marines is a horrible prospect. That is a LOONG time
