Redemption2994 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Alright, to start off, I'd like to say that ever since I started 40k about 2-3 years ago, I've always been a huge fan of the World Eaters. And as I've collected, I've come to make other CSM models as well. Does anyone have a finished World Eaters army that makes use of Bolters and other Long Ranged weapons? (ex. Havocs, Obliterators, Bolter Marines) I know it's been up to debate if it's fluffy to use long range weapons favoured over Chain-axes and such. Personally, from a gaming standpoint, its hard not to with all the CQC powerhouse units other codexes have. Does anyone have any pictures of painted World Eaters with Bolters? I feel strange visualizing it and painting it. And what have you done to make them World Eaters? Just painting my guys as Red and Gold would just make them Red and Gold Chaos Marines, I want them to look the part as much as play their part in reaping skulls for Khorne. I've got about 20 Regular Marines and about 36 Berzerkers, none of which are fully painted. (Minus one Skull Champion.) I could really use some encouraging pictures of finished armies to get me in the groove to start mine. Thanks a bunch! Blood for the Blood God!

Kierdale Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I'm not a World Eater player but I think if you have your squads and heavy weapons platforms sufficiently spiky, gore-drenched and skull-festooned then they'll look unmistakably like WEs.

minigun762 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Look into "Teeth of Khorne". They are normally havoc marines with a variety of rapid fire weapons. Take 8 of them for the sacred number and give the squad 4 autocannons. Now you have an effective anti-transport and MC squad. Its up to you whether you actually give them mark of Khorne but I would pass personally. If you want to get an idea of the units in action, check up some videos of Dawn of War 2 Chaos Rising, as it shows the unit moving and firing.

Rune Priest Ridcully Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Check the cover of the chaos 2nd edition codex, It has bolter berserkers on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperors Immortals Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Adding things like the space shark chain blades and lots of chains helped me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffy.Gee Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I'm currently awaiting a chaos space marine box so I can do this very thing. I'll be using heavy bolters to represnt autocannons in an 8 man havok squad. The right shoulder pad will be a smooth pad with a forge world brass etch Khorne symbol. You could also use the FW World Eaters shoulder pads. Khorne is the God not just of close combat and rage but also of martial prowess. Laying down supporting fire so your comrades can advance unhindered so that they might better slaughter the enemy is pretty cool no? You could even justify it further by saying that they are new additions to the warband and must first prove themselves to their mortal superior (Chaos Lord or what have you) before they may truly give themselves over to Khorne. This is backed up by new astartes being drafted into the role of devastator before assault or tactical squad. Hope this helps! JG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redemption2994 Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 Good Explanations. Thanks fellas. I wish I had better access to FW being as I'm without a credit card right now. In the future I may sink it and go get some World Eaters bitz for my Non Berzerker units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Check out Grandmaster Wades Havocs buddy. That should be all the inspiration you need ;) http://www.freewebs.com/grandmasterwade/khornehavocswip.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brninghalo Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I based my Worldeater havocs on the work of Grandmaster Wade as well: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v341/BrningHalo/Warhammer%2040K%20Khorne/KhorneHavocsWIP1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v341/BrningHalo/Warhammer%2040K%20Khorne/KhorneHavocsWIP2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v341/BrningHalo/Warhammer%2040K%20Khorne/KhorneHavocsWIP3.jpg They are still works in progress but the Marine Devastator bits work wel with the Chaos Marine and Khorne Berzerker bits.

Redemption2994 Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 Oh beautiful... I love the Grandmaster Wade ones. Very cool bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Remember not all World Eaters are Khorne Berzerkers and vice versa. The non berserker WE would still function as normal chaos marines, with bolters, heavy weapons and artillery support, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redemption2994 Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 Very nice. I like that alot. When I get some more money I plan to order some World Eaters Conversion bitz and make some Bolter guys. I like the Autocannons too. What did you use for the spiky rail on top?

Blackmonkey0 Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 The spiky rail is from the top of the old imperial search light (which was so ugly i never put them on my chimeras). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
