2k World Eaters

[Midnightmare]

Hey guys and gals,

After a long break from the hobby I have decided to jump back in, this time onto the train that has no brakes. My weapon of choice is a Chainaxe.  Check out the WE list I have come up with, C & C most welcomed. It is intended to be a fairly fluffy force but hopefully won’t be getting steam rolled every week -

Points of note; Praetor and Apoth in the Spartan, the rest is self explanatory. Also, no Surlak. We play campaigns fairly often at my club and sometimes no unique characters allowed. Apothecary  modelwill be magnetized with a Power Axe to allow for know who, through juggling of points. If he was squeezed in the Spartan dudes would likely be Inductii. Tried to keep it fluffy, everything that can have a Chainaxe, has one. To up the game to 2.5k I will add in Red Butchers in another Phobos, single FOC still.

 

Anything glaringly obvious I have missed? Good base of a fun, fluffy army?

 

Interested to hear you input :tu:

One very important thing should you play surlak, inductii can only be joined by apothecaries so the praetor would have to find a new ride.

Between the leviathan, 6 lascannons and the rapiers you should have enough anti-tank and our tacticals deal with hordes quite well. One thing that might get you in trouble with that list would be if the enemy focuses your spartan and manages to destroy/imobilise it, which would make you walk your guys across the field. I would possibly drop the ac on the leviathan, between the pod and its invunerable save it is fairly suvivable, but if the enemy wants it dead he will do so with or without ceramite. With the points from that you could give your spartan dozer blades and/or an auxillary drive, to minimise the risk of getting imobilised.

At least in my area I would expect at least one of both (spartan and leviathan) to survive, if he focuses on one, or both if he splits his anti-tank fire, but I don't know how competitive your meta is. So I definitly don't see you getting steamrolled all the time, but your spartan will have to work to get its points back.

Considering that lots of tanks filled with chainaxe wielding marines is very fluffy for WE, yes it ist. ;)

Ah, did not know that about Inductii (I don’t own that book yet) so that is food for thought, as there is not a lot of space elsewhere! I have also had another idea of dropping the Phobos at this pointage for a Rhino perhaps(and giving that squad Bolters as well as Chainaxes) to allow to fit in a Deredeo with Autcannon/Aiolos Launcher. The Bolters seem to be needed for when the Tac squad disembark for a turn, I think. I will also try the Levi out without the Armoured Ceramite for sure as points are tricky at this level!

 

Thanks for the reply :tu:
