++ Gods of the Arena - A World Eaters Community ++

[Descho]

A friend of mine is organising a multi-player game this sunday for his birthday, 2000 points per player. I don't have that many models to field any combinations, so this is what I came up with:

 

Battalion detachment world eaters

Daemonprince with wings, sigil and exalted champion

Chaos lord in terminator armour with twin lightning claws

 

2x 8 Berserker with chainaxes and chainswords, icon and champ with power fist

10 cultists with autogun

 

2x land raider with havok launcher

 

5 terminators with 5 combi-plasma, power axes and icon

 

Patrol detachment daemons

khorne herald on blood throne

 

30 bloodletters with instrument and icon

 

I don't think it is a very competitive list but I want to try out some new things, like my AoS daemons. But should be a fun game and it is a fluffy list. My plan is to go forward and shoot stuff with the land raiders and then charge with the berserkers inside. The terminators and lord will teleport near opponent's backline, shot a little bit and hopefully charge. The bloodletters  screen the herald and daemon prince, who buff each other. Cultists for a third troop choice and to camp on objective or something. I'm excited how the daemons will perform as it is my first time fielding them in warhammer 40k.

Definitely not a competetive list, but as long as the others didn't build a super competetive list either it should be good enough for some fun multiplayer evening. ;)

And who knows ... maybe you get lucky and they'll concentrate on each other first so you can get into melee and wreck them. Just make sure you don't make yourself look like a serious threat turn 1 by covering distance too fast etc. :P

[betrayer41]

So is this thread for all WE players?

[Panzer]

Every WE player and whoever else likes to comment on WE stuff (like me :P ).

[betrayer41]

Oh wonderful, ill post some stuff since i jus tgot back into 40k ish WE

[betrayer41]

So this is my first time posting here!

 

Like everyone else I'm trying to take advantage of the AOS bits

 

But here is the start to my WE army. More on the way!

Looking good so far!

 

Small advice: crop your pictues to remove all the unnecessary space around the actual miniature and thus reduce the pictures size. ;)

Thanks for the heads up!

Those are kickass, very much a heavy "Chaos Warriors IN SPAAAAACE!" vibe which I love.

 

Slightly regretting not taking a look at those AOS bits for my latest batch now...

[Sgt. Blank]

Nice berserkers, Betrayer41, I like the guy with the glaive particularly

[Descho]

What is better, two land raiders with a berserker squad each or a spartan with 3x 8-men squads and a character? Point wise there isn't much of a diffrence and both shot 8 lascannons. Two land raiders can split up and if one is destroyed there's still the other one, while with the spartan I have more berserkers.

I personally believe the Landraider set up is better there. By large because there are several armies who can go for a more split deployment and that just means your way too all in on one half of the board.

 

However the approach Im personally going for is just a Landraider and two Rhino's for that reason. I personally think this counters split deployments even better and I do still feel a lot of the strenghts from Berzerker squads can be countered by splitting up and spreading out. Afterall we have two Fights to fight but we can't really do anything with it if nothing is near.

The new Deathshroud Terminators are looking pretty sweet.. Which got me thinking today that when World Eaters finally get their own codex we could potentially see 40k Devourers or Red Butchers... quite a wonderfully bloody thought, no?

i was thinking the same, lets pray to khorne

[Khornestar]

I'd rather have a proper lord on juggernaut kit and chosen/berzerker juggernaut cavalry, myself. :)

 

As for berzerkers, I finally got to use mine today in an apocalyptic mega battle and then a 2 vs. 2 game. Mighty god of blood, they just OBLITERATE infantry.

[MoK]

If Deathguard are getting Death Shroud Terminators, does that mean we might get our Red Butchets back? Or even just give Terminators the same rules as Berzerkers?

[Cheex]

I've been considering using Red Butchers as Mutilators. Random weapon profiles represent their unpredictability in combat, extra wound represents their increased resilience. Thoughts?

A Berzerker Juggernaut unit would be sick as heck!

[MoK]

Personally I loved the slaughtercult. (I think that's what it was called). Khorne aspiring champion riding a Defiler with an extra DCCW. Awesome fun.

Certainly a sweet idea that I would completely expect also. Or at least something akin to it. Red Butchers to me are almost certainly going to be included. Devourers could be there but likely would have a different name or lore change. 

 

In addition and something I personally would love to see is some (massive) Power axe options for our Berzerkers and a Wrath-hammer option, basically a hammer-chain deal like we see on Age of Sigmar Wrathmongers. I think there are a lot of great ideas for World Eaters but Forgeworld has done a lot for them also so I don't think it will be created any time soon.

Go for it, great models to use!

Hey, nice work ! I assume these are BoP legs. It seems some of them are reposed, am I right ? I'm planning to use BoP marines also, do you have any tip to share ?

 

Thanks

[Guiltysparc]

I've been noodling mixing a death guard backline with the standard land raider/zerker rush build and came up with this for 2000pts.  I think it would be pretty awesome.  Thoughts?

 

World Eaters Patrol

 

Khârn

Daemon Prince with Wings, talons, talisman of burning blood

 

8 Berzerkers with swords/axes, champ as a power fist

10 Berzerkers with swords/axes, champ as a power fist

 

2x Land Raiders with havoc launchers and combi plasmas

 

Death Guard Spearhead

 

Chaos Lord

3x plague Crawlers with Entropy Cannons

 

Pretty straightforward, land raiders rush up while the plague crawlers pound away with rerolls of 1s from the lord there.  Lots of hight strength shooting from the crawlers and raiders, lots of melee beat sticking from the zerkers, prince, and Khârn.

[OPTIMVSCHRISTVS]

Looks pretty solid, tons of scary shooting without comprimising your ability to drop a pile of zerks in your enemy's face. Interested to see how it plays.

[Cheex]

Only suggestion I'd make is to scrounge 30pts from somewhere and take a small cultist squad. This will allow you to take a battalion detachment for an extra 3CPs.

Thanks! They certainly ARE BOP legs. I am not very good and the conversion part or GS which you can tell when theyre painted. But i just chop up the legs near the hip and slwoly cut away from there and position them on the AOS blood warrior legs.
