Warhammer 40K: Shooty World Eaters FTW!!!

Goatboy here with a World Eaters armylist that can shoot more than people expect, and STILL punch you in the face!

Goatboy and while I was looking past my current World Eater obsession the new GW updates has me thinking I might stay living that Skulls for the Skull throne lifestyle.  Of course while a lot of the things I loved before got more expensive a ton of things I love even more got cheaper.  This leads me to thinking while I could drop the Forge Fiends I could look at other shootie heavy things and units to help create my true Passive Aggressive World Eaters list.

Putting The World Eaters List Together

Ok let’s take out those Forge Fiends I have been taking all the time.  Lately I have moved onto two units of them so that drops a decent amount of points out of my army.  I love em but if I could pick something else that fits the theme.  It really has me going back to Land Raiders as it gives me the shooting I want, the ability to deliver some nonsense I need, and it lets me try to win with Land Raiders.

Let’s start with dual:

Chaos Land Raider – 220pts
Chaos Land Raider – 220pts

Pts: 440pts

Now with those two what do we put in there.  Kharn went up in points and while I like him I wonder if going with a Master of Execution is just better to gain more points. I don’t think Berzerkers should be the ones to put in Land Raiders.  I feel a Rhino works for them and like the idea of having one ready to go as another wave so let’s throw that unit in.

Master of Execution – 60pts
Khorne Berzerkers X 10 – 180pts
Chaos Rhino – 85pts

Pts: 325pts

I know we haven’t filled in the Land Raiders yet but we first need to build the rest.  I still like Chaos Spawn as they give you a unit you can throw out there and randomly they can wreck stuff if someone gets too close.  These are the best Spawn in the game right now and we should take three units of them.

Chaos Spawn X 2 – 90pts
Chaos Spawn X 2 – 90pts
Chaos Spawn X 2 – 90pts

Pts: 270pts

Now let’s fill up the Land Raiders.  I think the new Exalted Eightbound are great to fill these up as they can easily jump out and punch something as needed.  Their ability to get to Damage 3 is huge on big things and they easily are pretty awesome right now.

Exalted Eightbound X 3 – 140pts
Exalted Eightbound X 3 – 140pts

Pts: 280pts

Now I think we need some regular Eightbound as well as they can scout, gives a lot of your army a +1 to hit, and feel like something this army needs to help chew through things and set up future turns while hiding behind walls.

Eightbound X 3 – 135pts
Eightbound X 3 – 135pts
Eightbound X 3 – 135pts

Pts: 405pts

Finally I think some Slaughterbound that love to join up with the Exalted Eightbound.  The Exalted Eightbounds Ability that was once called Rend and Tear now gives the unit a +1 damage if they are attacking Monsters or Vehicles.  This would stack on top of the Slaughterbound and give you a unit that can easily chew through a monster with its Strength 12 attacks that all of a sudden go to Damage 3 and Devastating Wounds if you want.

Slaughterbound – 85pts
Slaughterbound – 85pts

Pts: 170pts

Let’s throw this all together and see if we can add in a Jakhal unit or an upgrade if needed.

Goatboy’s Shooty World Eaters

Here you have dual Land Raiders to be your long range firepower as well as a way to drop off some murder beasts into the enemy that gets close.  You have a Rhino that can move up and stage an attack as needed.  The Eightbound can be trade pieces as well as the Chaos Spawn.  The Jakhals are there to sticky your back objective and give you some space to help things out.  It feels like the army should work and looks pretty fun to try out in the coming months.
