Descho Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Hello, my gaming group just started playing Horus Heresy games, and I have chosen to play World Eaters. We had some games at 1500 points using proxies to test things out. This is a list I want to playtest next time and I need some feedback. I have the terminators and contemptor from the Calth box set and enough power armourd marines. So my list: World Eaters, Traitors with Blood Madness, Orbital Assault Delegatus 100 Power axe, Artificer armour and Refractor field Command Squad 265 4 Marines, 4 combat shields and Power swords, dedicated dreadclaw Apothecary 65 Power sword and Artificer armour Legion Terminator squad 345 Sergeant with Power axe and Combimelta, 4 Combimelta, 2 Power axes, 2 Chain fists, dedicated dreadclaw Contemptor Cortus 285 DCCW and Chainfist, 2 Plasmablaster, Droppod Tactical Squad 185 additional Chainaxes, Sergeant with Artificier armour and Power fist, droppod Tactical Squad 185 additional Chainaxes, Sergeant with Artificier armour and Power fist, droppod 1430 total That leaves 70 points to play with. The plan is to drop assault with the contemptor, terminators and command squad with delegatus and apothecary turn one. The tacticals will drop later and mop up survivors and claim objectives. I have chosen orbital assault for the cheap droppods, even though I can't charge out of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caillum Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Orbital Assault is awesome for World Eaters! Nice pick. I'd take a mix of power swords & axes on the Command Squad (and a fist on the Standard Bearer) as you might need them to deal with 2+ saves occasionally. Maybe think about taking Red Butchers instead of Legion Terminators? Twin power axes (chainfist & power fist on the Devoured) will ruin everything! 2 plasma blasters on the Cortus is cool, but is asking for Get's Hot trouble. Especially given they have lower BS, as the risk isn't balanced out by a 2+ To Hit. Maybe take dual graviton guns? Finally, have you considered Assault Marines for your Troops? They can start on the board, despite Orbital Assault's restrictions, and do pretty well these days! Not as good as Gahlan Surlak's Inductii, but still good.

K3nn3rs Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Can't you do a trick with WE where you take one of their gladiatorial weapons (the single handed specialist weapon one, maybe the whip?) and combine it with a power fist so that you get an extra attack? (Like the AL Power Dagger) Would give your delaguatus some extra punch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noigrim Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 extra chainaxes seems wasteful if you're gonna assult anyway would swap bolters for them you could also turn the drop pods into dreadclaws and use the crimson path rite with this tutorial http://greenstuffindustries.blogspot.com.es/2015/04/dreadclaw-from-drop-pod-conversion.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
