Dakka Forum: Are World Eaters just unnecessary bloat?

Referring to them having their own codex. I recently brushed off the dust from my old chaos, and found that I had a lot of Khorne stuff. Out of curiosity, I had a look at the World Eater's codex, and found myself severely unenthused.

One Battleline unit (Berzerkers)

Five infantry units, one of which is a direct repeat from CSM (Terminators) and 2 of which are basically the same (Eightbound / Exalted Eightbound)

One Beast

9 vehicles, 8 of which are just CSM staples.

5 characters.

And that's it. I made a 1k list and ended up 40 points short because of the lack of options.

It really seems to me like they are just unnecessary bloat which could all have fit into a detachment rule for Chaos Space Marines. Am I the only one who feels this?

Lots of clues to what the announcements are in the video.

	Every measurement must be exactly perfect every time, if you move a space marine 6.01 inches in his movement phase you are cheating.
	As exact as possible, the game will take a lot longer, but it will be worth it in the end.
	Try to be exact, but don't sweat the little stuff, especially in the first turn or 2.
	Measure exactly for the first guy in the unit, then just arrange the rest so they are in roughly the correct position around him.
	Eyeball it.
	Just put your guys where ever, we assume superhuman space marines can manipulate the space-time continuum.
	To cut out all the boring tactical positioning stuff we just arrange our troops in melee at the start, no measurements needed.
