ZONKEY Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Hi, I have created a world eater character Bruticus the conqueror to lead my war band, but do the world eaters conquer planets or just slaughter people and then move on to the next planet to slaughter? Kind Regards Zonkey Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244332-quick-fluff-check/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZONKEY Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 yes no maybe or just a dumb question ? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244332-quick-fluff-check/#findComment-2953876 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Lord Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Might depend who's leading them. The present day Khârn is more a slaughterer than a conquerer (and prone to attacking his allies when he runs out of enemies) but there might be WE commanders who haven't succumbed fully to frenziedness. In Execution Hour there's a World Eaters slavemaster on Abaddon's ship, for example.

AekoldHelbrass Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 There is also Zhufor, looks like he is conqueror. PS: Bruticus... Wasn't it a decepticon from old tranformers TV series?

Iron Lord Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Zhufor's not a World Eater proper though- he was a sergeant in the Storm Lords chapter before turning to chaos and joining the World Eaters. His warband, the Skulltakers (formerly Berserkers of Kharadon) might also be a mixture of Khorne-worshipping renegades.

Grimdarkness Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Fluff wise no the WE where broken when Khârn earned the title betrayer. There numbers are to low to take worlds as a WE war band. Dose not mean a champion could bring groups of like minded traitors together to from a large force to take a world.

Kol Saresk Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 The fluff about the WE numbers isn't exactly the best to rely on. For example, the Foresworn, a WE warband was large enough to pilot a spacehulk, serve as an army for Angron, become fractured after the first war for armageddon and still send 400 berzerkers into the future. And the Skulltakers are a big fluff conflict because the Warband Zhufor was said to have taken over was WE warband and then there were the Berzerkers of Kharadon. And Zhufor himself was tortured by the WE and then went through Stockholm syndrome. And berzerkers are berzerkers. Not all WE have to be legionarres, that's the beauty of having renegades.

ZONKEY Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 Cool Thanks for the help, Cause i was gonna have him set up a planet where he turned the world into a khorne fortress of brazen fire and sparing pits with populations not only serving potential recruits for the world eaters but also slaves for there ships (his battle barge is known as the slaughterer) and also depriving the imperium of it's resources and once that place is dead of resources they move on a bit like orks but more organized Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244332-quick-fluff-check/#findComment-2954130 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kol Saresk Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 That actually sounds pretty cool. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244332-quick-fluff-check/#findComment-2954243 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanguine Reaver Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 ^ I agree with that statement. That sounds like a cool idea. The thing to remember is that you can write or come up with your own fluff to suite your needs, so if you want a group of conquering WE then that's fine!

Something Wycked Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I'll suggest looking into the Grey Knights books by Ben Counter. One of the books is about the Grey Knight Justicar's experiences on a... you guessed it, Khornate world :D The population is made up of daemons, humans, corrupted beasts, and Chaos Marines, and the whole world is a temple dedicated to the Blood God. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244332-quick-fluff-check/#findComment-2958794 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Lord Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Specifically, Hammer of Daemons. Though the Grey Knights Trilogy isn't that much more expensive.

Kraull the Rampager Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 If I may, in my personal opinion, it really depends on the Lord, and his quest. Most chaos lords act out of a personal desire for more power. If Khorne sends your lord a vision, a vision of conquest over several systems, plunging them into war, then your lord will pillage his way across those several systems, in order to enrage Khorne enough to perhaps gain his favour! ^.^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/244332-quick-fluff-check/#findComment-2990237 Share on other sites More sharing options...
