What CAN the World Eaters use?
« on: March 15, 2011, 01:56:02 PM »
Im in the process of buying more stuff for my World Eaters legion and im aware that a real World Eaters army can only use certain models. (i am infact keeping to the fluff of the army) So im just double checking what i can and cannot use in my army, if anyone knows of anything it would be very helpful.

I know i can use the following:

Bezerkers (obviously)
Terminators
Predators
Rhino's
Kharn the Betrayer (once again pretty obvious)
Greater Daemon
Defiler
________________________________________________________________

I think i can use the following..

Daemon Prince?
Raptors?
Landraider?
Oblitorators?

Once again any clearification on what i can and cant use would help.

depends what fluff you go by. The new fluff its anything goes. Last codex which restricted certain entries. If I remember correctly any vehciles were allowed, daemon prince yes, raptors no, oblits no, and I don't remember but I think world eaters were allowed bikes

Pretty much dreads are a must considering how much the embody Khorne's ethos.

The last codex had some great fluff and restrictions but the new one is really weird and unrestricted.

It's more like "Renegade Space Marines" than "Chaos Space Marines" if you know what I mean.

Anything you include should have the mark of khorne.  I'm in a similar boat with my Death Guard so I tend to restrict it to things that they could take in the old codex and with anything else to have something to do with Nurgle.   So for instance, I run A Nurgle DP, a Nurgle Sorceror, plague marines with the max of 2 rhinos, a land raider for long range fire power, plaguehulk / defiler, dreadnought and sometimes summoned daemons.  I plan to run some newly converted possessed marines but those will be carrying a mark on a stick (icon). 

I heard of an interesting piece of old fluff called "Khorne's Teeth" or some variation on that.  Basically, a havoc squad that found you could shed blood at long distances with autocannons. 

When I decide to roll out my recently buffed World Eaters, I plan on running at least 2 to 3 land raiders.  Sounds rough but it's one of the few ways to get Berserkers into combat effectively.

Chaos Lords with marks are in, too.

Use whatever you think is cool. I think Khornate Obliterators would look amazing.

I really like the idea of Khornes Teeth, ive heard it before but ive heard it with heavy bolters instead of autocannons, but i feel autocannons would work better.

What i run now is basically a crap ton of Berzerkers, 2 Rhino's, 2 Khorne Dreads with 2 CCW, Predator, Khorne Terminators with Lightning Claws and a Greater Daemon of Khorne (im aware i cant give a GD the icon)

What i plan on running in big point lists exluding apocalypse pieces (i plan on modeling a Angron) is:

ALOT of Bezerkers
2 Rhinos
2 Predators (all Las)
2 Dreadnaughts both with 2 CCW
Defiler  2 CCW
Kharn th Betrayer
Lord with mark of Khorne and Daemon Wep
Daemon Prince of Khorne
2 5 man squads of Khorne Terminators with lighting claws
2 Landraiders
Greater Daemon

Is that an accurate World Eater Legion?
(i enjoy the old codex where it was restricted just because it felt more like a pure khorne army)


Also maybe create a Apocalypse Data Sheet called "Khorne's Teeth" ? Idk just a quick thought, might be alittle too much ha.

What about Chaos Marines with the Mark of Khorne?  I'd imagine there must be some hopefuls tagging along with the World Eaters, hoping for ascension.  Would be something to break up the (for me, anyway) astonishing monotony of painting Khorne Berserkers.

Well then it wouldn't be World Eaters, Ive actually got a very good list of things they can use. the whole point is to just use berzerkers as troops.

Also i started a Thousand Sons army along with my Khorne for a bit of change, but anyways, i wrote up a quick Khornes Teeth data sheet ill post in the data sheet thread, its essentilly berzerkers with heavy bolters to keep to the fluff of Khornes Teeth.
