These are the same as the Heavy Chainaxe stats too, it makes them hit incredibly hard and even burn through AoC. In a CSM army, the MoK and Icon means that they're S9 and -5AP on the charge so I wonder if it's the same here?

 

Turning off Obsec on Angron is brutal, between this and the Bezerkers auto completing Actions, I don't think WE will have much of an issue scoring!

 

Should be s10, assuming 5 base and +1 for charge like it is now.

[Khornestar]

If the legion trait is accurate (+1S and attack if charging/charged/intervened) and berzerkers keep S5 base then hell yeah, S10!

[MadEdric]

I'm really hoping the "get shot, can move" rule for the Bezerkers is an option you may make, not the old "must move". If it's the later, I don't like it as it lets your opponent decide where your unit is. If it's a "may move if shot at", I like it better.

If that’s the case, it could also depend on saying up to d6” or just d6”. Could always nudge a model half a mm if it’s up to.

 

*edit*
 

Discord chatter is suggesting it’s “up to” and is once per turn for the unit in the opponent’s shooting phase.

I do like that, gives some play in the opponent's turn.

[Iron Father Ferrum]

I find that funny since it's basically what the Black Templars had in 3rd-5th Editions.

[Borbarad]

Is that move optional or mandatory? It if is mandatory, I can see it being a liability for holding objectives.

Seems like people are saying “may” move and “up to” but we’ll see, I guess.

[Captain Idaho]

Really strong if it's optional. Debilitating if it's compulsory.

 

I'd like to see some element of uncontrollable behaviour in the army, to represent how the Nails can be a curse as well.

 

I know there are folk who hate random elements, or uncontrolled model behaviour, but that's because GW just didn't balance things brilliantly!

 

Make it leadership tests like the old days, give the benefits to the Nails as really high and you have some reaonsed rules potentially.

 

Just my opinion. 

[Khornestar]

I’m one of those that would vehemently disagree but different strokes; and we get what we get. There will hopefully be something flavorful and well-designed at the core, whatever that ends up being.

[Captain Idaho]

No that's fair. Definitely my opinion. 

 

It's just the World Eaters ARE supposed to be uncontrollable at times. I like the fluff.

[BLACK BLΠFLY]

They almost as bad as pups.

100%, but for me I’d rather play that out on the table in my own way and not have control of my army taken away from me in a way that can easily be exploited by the opponent.

Update on the boxed set situation: apparently there isn’t going to be an army box with a limited edition codex; there will just be a combat patrol. No word as to the contents. As always, salty mcsaltface.

:(

 

 

[WrathOfTheLion]

That's unfortunate. Hopefully the combat patrol hits at launch then.

 

Anything on what the contents might be? I'd assume a unit of Berserkers at least, would be nice if the Lord Invocatus/Juggerlord kit was in there.

[Khornestar]

Not sure, seems like speculation of juggerlord, berzerkers, and jakhals.

 

I’d be surprised if there wasn’t a rhino, maulerfiend, Khârn, or some other older kit in the mix.

Edited December 2, 2022 by Khornestar

[WrathOfTheLion]

That'd be reasonable if so. Solid buy of two, make one Lord Invocatus and one Juggerlord.

[WrathOfTheLion]

It'd probably need another unit just on pricing though. An Eightbound squad or something like that.

[BLACK BLΠFLY]

This is definitely my next army !! !! !! !!

[Khornestar]

Check him out, skull brothers and sisters:

 

 

 

 

And his warlord trait is allegedly turning off obsec within 6”

Edited December 2, 2022 by Khornestar

[WrathOfTheLion]

The third aura can be good too, but complete denial of retreat has the potential to be really great.

 

Not sure a reroll of 1 aura feels quite in the same league as shutting down falling back though, unless there's no other sources of bonuses to hit/rerolls. Even then, if I wasn't taking that one, I'd probably just always take the extra attack because it's way more fun.

 

I guess it could be fine because it's not scoped to core (if wording is accurate), but I like the others better.

[Captain Idaho]

I'm not sure turning off Obsec is going to matter when he's killing everything near him 

[Special Officer Doofy]

Hmm will he have multiple warlord traits? Mortarion gets 3 AND chooses a 4th from the plague companies.

[StraightSilver]

I'm genuinely surprised he's only T7, but he will be an absolute beast when in combat - which of course makes perfect sense.
