[HH1.0] Tactica Chainaxe: World Eaters

[Guiltysparc]

For me its more of a fluffy dislike than anything with his rules.  Although, i could just play him like he's portrayed in books, running around on his own murderizing everything.

[Flint13]

Guys... possibly silly rules question here.

 

So Khârn has rampage. Does rampage work solely off number of models?

 

This is always how I assumed it worked, but this morning a guy brought up he had always played it as equivalent number of models. As in, bulky models are two, very bulky are three, etc. He cited talent for murder as his reasoning.

[Guiltysparc]

I have always played such that the size rules are factored in rather than strictly model count.

[Flint13]

But how do you figure out model count for something like Castellax, which are huge, but don't have Bulky or something because they can't go in transports anyway?

[Guiltysparc]

i believe monstrous creatures have the very bulky rule as a part of their suite of USRs...So they would count as 3 (or 2 if they are just bulky).

Also keep in mind that i'm far from a rules expert, lol

[God-Potato of Mankind]

I would go for no.

 

Talent for murder and the SoH one specifically mentions bulky v bulky counts as.

 

Rampage does not.

 

Rules as written, but a cool houserule. It would let him lol a Terminator squad to lil pieces.

Who allies 100 inducted levy? how? Do they need to be compulsory troops?

[Flint13]

I've done that over about a dozen games. They're entertaining, but kinda work better for my Solar Aux or Dark Mech. With World Eaters, they fill roughly the same role.

 

As to how: Take them as your allied detachment, 2x50 units of inducted levy and a force commander with the Warp Cult and Tainted Flesh providences.

[God-Potato of Mankind]

I was browsing the FLGS and thin I will do it easymode with Bloodbound reavers, maybe mix in a few chainblades and pistols if I fancy it.

Hmm, was checking their rules as I assumed that was how you did it, however I noticed they have the Support Squad rule? meaning not compulsory troops. Could be a dodgy old battlescribe but don't you have to have a compulsory troops and hq with allied detachments?

 

Was planning to chuck them in a word bearers army after I got the idea here, felt fluff wise they fit more with Word Bearers riling up militia with oratory

Tainted Flesh provenance makes them compulsory.

[God-Potato of Mankind]

They definitely fit in fluff wise for Eaters.

 

Their recruitmemt worlds are basically feral militias fighting for whatevrr resources the Legion drops in. Forcibly recruited and sent to do battle, voila.

[Unholyechoes]

Yeah, World Eaters have the gun clans to hang out with.

[Unholyechoes]

Quick question: how is everyone modeling Gahlan Surlak?

[Fangbanger]

Just use one of my standard apoths curently as my Eaters project is shelved (bar Angron)

[Slips]

Just make sure he has a Power Axe and a Narthecium in Power Armour and he can be whatever you want.

[Unholyechoes]

I may have to find some chainfists to deconstruct or something, it literally hurts thinking of paying 23 squids for two guys that I would end up chopping to pieces anyways.

[God-Potato of Mankind]

I used the Praetor model with Autilon Skorr's axe, a nuncio vox backpack and a Mk4 Apothecary bolt pistol arm. Edited December 8, 2016 by The God-Potato of Mankind

[Unholyechoes]

I was thinking of getting a tech marine style backpack from Anvil, putting the saw from a chainfist instead of one of the clamps and maybe a two handed axe from them as well with a holstered pistol on his hip.

[Guiltysparc]

Quick question: how is everyone modeling Gahlan Surlak?

I used the mk 4 apothecary, legion mk 3 shoulders, and a sanguinary guard axe arm.

[Gorgoff]

Love your work, Brother.

[Guiltysparc]

Love your work, Brother.

 

thanks man!

[OPTIMVSCHRISTVS]

I used the forgeworld WE legion sergeant torso on some Mk.III legs, of the rebreather heads from the forgeworld berserker upgrade set, Sanguinary Guard axe, and command squad Narthecium. Admittedly, I need to reapply the ax arm, as it's in a really awkward position and the bottom bit of the ax keeps snapping off...

 

In other news, my World Eaters have done exceptionally well in my local league (vs. 40k armies)- I'm currently leading 22-16 vs the second place guy. I've nearly tabled every opponent with these land raider heavy lists, although I did lose one game on objectives (he had 1 model left at the end and I had probably 80% of my army intact but I couldn't get to him).

 

I think I'm mostly fortunate that my meta doesn't feature a ton of grav (we actually have more Chaos players than Imperials these days, and basically no xenos to speak of).

[God-Potato of Mankind]

Gents, can I use Gahlan in a unit of Terminators? Cos...2+/4+ 4+ FNP sounds trolly and I'm trying to roll a tactical free list. 

[Slips]

Theres literally nothing preventing you from doing so? :p
