Hi Everyone!

Welcome to The World XEater’s “Blog for the Blood God” This Is my first ever Hobby Blog, I have created it to be a mix of a few things

1. To showcase my World Eaters Chaos Space Marines and Khorne Daemons Warhammer 40,00 collection

2. Show some of my WIP’s, conversions, Painting styles etc.

3. List some various Army Lists, Tactics, General Rules Discussions

If any of this sounds interesting to you make sure you check my blog out, As my collection grows and time passes it should prove to be quite interesting!

Thanks for reading,

The World XEater!

Looks promising, can't wait to see some of your models!

Hey Guys,

I thought to myself how does one get a Blog on the roll? I thought the logical step, after introducing myself, would be to introduce my army! This is my complete collection, there are a couple of WIPs in this shot but as a whole I would say it is about 80% complete.



In total I have over 10,000 points of Chaos, mostly World Eaters Chaos Space Marines but I have recently added alot of Khorne Daemons thanks to the new allies rules in 6th ed. I am aware that this is not the best photo in the world (while they are on the shelf its quite difficult to take a photo) I will be doing individual shots of Lords, Units, Tanks, Daemons etc. as well as some shots of my lists (from 500pts all the way to 10,000pts) I will be doing some Video Battle Reports in the future primarily against my brothers Grey Knights so keep your eyes peeled! He has close to 16,000 points combined Guard and Grey Knights so once it is all painted we are going to have possibly the biggest Apocalypse Battle Report ever made!

Thanks for Reading!

Awesome to see mate, looking forward to following the progress!

-Jarrod from the DOG group.

Here is the most recent Addition to my collection. It is a Forge World Khorne Daemon Prince that I have done a little converting to turn into Skarbrand. I am still trying to decide what I want to do to represent Skarbrands freyed and severed wings, part of my just wants to put stumps / half wings on his back to represent how they were torn off, but at the same time a set of massive wings with tears and holes throughout would look awesome and make the model that much more intimidating... I'm open to suggestions if anyone has any ideas?

Here is Skarbrand



His two axes, Slaughter and Carnage, are actually modified Khorne icons from the bloodletter kit, I just added a little plasticard and some green stuff, a few spikes he is ready to smash face! here is a WIP shot of the axe:



Once his base and wings are complete I will be doing a Youtube Video with a full 360 degree rotation some other close ups, action shots and suitably violent music in the background. Im a really big fan of "some" of the release vidoes etc that GW do for their models. I Find it makes even slightly crappier models look freakin awesome and does a much better job of showing what the model actually looks like than still images ever could, so im gonna have a crack at doing something similar at some point.

Thanks for Reading!

MISSION:
The Relic

DEPLOYMENT:
Hammer and Anvil

FIRST TURN WENT TO:
Grey Knights

SUMMARY:
Grey Knights finished holding the relic in the World Eaters deployment zone, Score at the end of the game was 9-3 for a Grey Knight Victory! World eaters were almost Tabled on turn 6 with only 1 Terminator and 2 Chosen left on the table. Abbadon was sucked into the warp buy Crowe's Heroic Sacrifice after a long combat where Crow was stuck in a challenge with a Chosen Champion. Dreadknights performed extremely well knocking out the two maulerfiends very early in the game. the Cultists were primarily killed by nearby vehicles that had exploded which was quite hilarious.

It was a great game where I learned that grey knights are just as intense in the shooting phase as they are in the assault phase... Cant wait till our next battle!

That is a very nice khorne army you have there, congrats.

Thankyou Pyriel, its always good to hear feedback

Here are some of my units, showcased with some of the terrain from the battle worn city my brother and I play the majority of our games on. Im still looking for names for our city / planet.... I find games are much much more fun when you have a story behind it, What is the planet called, why are the armies fighting etc... thats why I love that my brother has Grey Knights and Imperial Guard as they compliment my World Eaters and Khorne Daemons perfectly! as soon as he gets some painted I will put up some Video battle reports and dynamic action shots etc. for now here are some of my favourites:

Terminator Lord Tarugar and his Devourer bodyguard



Maulerfiends



Vindecator



Helbrutes / Dreadnoughts



Predators



Land Raiders



Hope you guys like em Next on my agenda is to put up some photos of my Daemons, Berzerkers, Defilers and the like, I also have some half finished cultists, heldrake, Rhinos, Terminators and more Daemons so check back regularly for updates!

Nice

Here are two of my favourite characters, My version of Skarbrand the Exiled One and my own special character Dreathor the Bloodsoaked. For dreathor i generally use the rules for a Chaos Space Marine Lord on a Juggernaut with the Axe of Blind Fury and I attach him to a large unit of Bloodcrushers for a Crazy fast and Crazy strong close combat deathstar. You may have seen my Skarbrand before but with a new camera and some new editing tricks i think these photos will show him off alot better! let me know what you thaink!

I have been doing alot of thinking about a background story for my World Eaters. I have the forge world Horus Heresy Angron model as a centerpiece for my infantry and would love to represent him on the battlefield but I was under the impression Angron had turned into a daemon prince after the heresy... now I don't read any black library stuff so all the background I know is what is printed in the codex/rulebook and what I can find on the Internet. To learn a little more about Angron I ran a google search and found that his last known sighting was during a battle on armageddon where a grey knights force destroyed his physical form and banished him to the warp where he could not escape for over 100 years..... with that last sighting in mind here is where my story kicks off........

After the great humiliation Angron suffered at the hands of the Grey Knights on the torn battlefields of armageddon he was banished to the warp as his physical form was destroyed, displeased with his champions failure the blood god Khorne stripped angron of his daemonhood and rejected him from the warp back into his original form, Angron, now fuelled by an impossibly intense hatred for the imperium, in particular the Grey Knights who destroyed him, now sets his sights on re-uniting his shattered legion so he can lead the largest blood crusade the universe has ever seen. Calling in all favours from his daemonic allies Angron plans to seek out and completely destroy the Grey Knights who stripped him of his immortality, please the lord of skulls with the promise of bloodshed and slaughter and in turn, regain his daemonhood and continue to wage eternal war on the imperium he despises.......

Here is another one of my Lords of the Blood crusade, I went through a phase recently where i was absolutely loving Khorne lords, i had to have EVERY khorn lord GW had released plus convert up a few myself just because! this one was a simple fantasy lord with a backpak added on, nothing too special but he is still one of my favourites!

This is some amazing work. I love seeing big armies, and this has epic written all over it. Subbed! Keep posting!

Thanks freytag! As soon as my bro finishes his grey knights we're going to have a 12000pts per side apocalypse battle report... that is going to be epic

Very impressive army and some nice conversions. It's great seeing the army displayed on such a cool table as well. Can't wait to see the Reaver.

Reaver is on the way. I'll do stage by stage construction and painting pics. I'll also chuck up a few more pics of various army lists I run with the actual list attached

Hey Guys, Thought it was time for an update! Here are some of my favourite specialist units, I'm sure you are all sick of looking at my Khorne lords lol, These are my converted Obliterators and Chaos bikes with Mark of khorne (henceforth known as the Bikezerkers or Berzikers) The obliterators were actually converted by my brother for his Nurgle CSM but he sold his army for grey knights so I picked these guys up. slight re modeling to remove the tentiacles and puss and bobs your uncle we have khornate obliterators! as for the Bikezerkers they are simple chaos bikes with berzerker helmets and ccws, i would have loved to give them all chainaxes but my bits box is quite limiting at the best of times. I think its time i stopped taking photos and got some painting done... i have a squad of cultists looking at me but i majorly cant be fethed! spending hours on a 5pt model is hard for me... for now enjoy the Berzikers and obliterators! and as always thankyou for reading!

The World XEater!

Obliterators:



Berzikers / Bikezerkers:

Interesting take on Oblits with the daemonette parts. Loving the Berzikers I've done pretty much the same thing with mine. They're a great unit and have always performed well in games so far. I know exactly what you mean about the cultists. I'd mostly painted mine with washes.

Yeah I wasn't a huuuge fan of the daemonette faces, would have rathered bloodletters or even just human faces but its very low on my list of things to change. Berzikers with my Juggernaut lord is a very strong unit. Expensive but strong. ..

One of my more heavy conversions is my mini Brass Scorpions (counts as either a defiler or a soul grinder depending on if im using Daemons or marines) i love these guys, I made them way back when chaos 5th edition was brand new. they are some of my earlier work so the paint job is average but i still have a major soft spot for them. I have never been a huge fan of the defiler model, the torso just seems a bit off, and as for soul grinders well 1. they weren't around when i bought these guys and 2. im not a huge fan of how they are all the same in the face... if they came with some head options then maybe but as it stands they all look too similar... which is ok for things like maulerfiends and gak because they are daemonic constructs where as this actually has a daemon popping out of it... anyway enough of my ramblings here are my mini brass scorpions!



once again thanks for reading

Hey Guys,

Just thought i would trow up a bit of a different post from my usual.... this is discussing my current favorite army list and some of the accompanying tactics. Here is the list:


Chaos Daemons Codex

HQ
Skarbrand
Bloodthirster, Exalted reward (portalglyph)
Bloodthirster
Bloodthirster

TROOPS
10 bloodletters
10 bloodletters
10 bloodletters
10 bloodletters

HEAVY SUPPORT
soul grinder, daemon of khorne
Soul grinder, daemon of khorne
Daemon prince, daemon of khorne
Daemon prince, daemon of khorne

TOTAL POINTS
2000pts

This list is designed to abuse double force organisation to max out on monsterous creatures, it has 3 bloodthirsters that swoop up as fast as possible to get all up in the opponents face shortly followed by skarbrand and the 2 running princes and 2 soul grinders. The bloodthirsters always attract a gakload of enemy attention allowing the second wave to arrive practically untouched and it takes all of the attention off of the bloodletters as well. its not exatly OP or WAAC but it is fluffy as hell and really fun to play!

I would love to hear peoples thoughts or ideas!

Thanks for reading.

The World XEater!

newest unit I have added to my army is...... my partners cat! Wolfgang Titan - Fluffypants Class! lol I was halfway through painting my Heldrake when this fether decided to start chewing on my terrain! cheeky bugger!



Photo for funzies purposes!

Painting 40 bloodletters in one sitting is a pain!

Can't imagine that being much fun. :( I've just noticed the khorne and WE symbols on the back of your Maulerfiends was that grew stuff or plasticard? Either way it looks awesome

Thank you, they were some of my earlier attempts at using Green stuff, i rolled it out flat then carved it.

Having played a Daemon army in the last local tourney, I now know how hard this list is to face. I play tau, and I was lucky enough to ground 2 of the 3 DP before they got to me and use my suits to plasma them to death. But the Bloodthirster got into my line of FW, and let's just say that the phrase "a hot knife through butter" is an understatement.
The only thing I would be worried about would be holding objectives. Idk about your FLGS, but most of our tourneys focus heavily on objectives. Only having 4 small squads might come back to bite you if your opponent chooses to take the MC in the face and kill your troops instead. I've had to do it a couple times when I've realized that the only way I can win the game is to make sure my opponent loses.

I generally hold the bloodletters in reserve so my opponent has no choice but to fire at the monsterous creatures . Usually by the time the bloodletters arrive the big guys are weak enough the opponent ignores my troops in an attemot to finishe them off... combined with the portal glyph I usually still have 3 or so scoring units at the end of the game

Wow, the stuff on here is so cool. subbed.

Thankyou, It is always good to hear feedback,

Here are some of my infantry models, I have over 40 Khorne Berzerkers, these are the ones that are completed, I still have a couple of squads to go, some of the painting is a bit average as they were the first units I bought when I got back into 40k several years ago, I am generally just a tabletop ready style of painter except for my lords etc which I like to pay that extra attention to. For now here are my berzerkers! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE, BLOG FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

Hey Guys,

Just finished my first flash project in over 8 years! my flash skills are even worse than my painting skills so be gentle in the coments lol.

I was driving home the other night listening to an old Fear Factory album when i heard one of my oldschool favourite songs Hurt Conveyor, the gunfire sounds made by the drums and the laser like guitar painted this awesome image that I just had to translate somehow, so as soon as I got home I downloaded flash and started playing around! Here are the results!




The hardest part was actually uploading the damn file to youtube! I downloaded about 12 different file converters none of which worked, then I managed to download a bunch of other programs by accident! I should not be allowed to touch my computer... anyway in the end my partner came and fixed it all for me! she is my hero lol!
so yeah this is my first of many flash animations! if anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them as in the end I found this project to be very enjoyable!

Thanks for reading

The World XEater!

I have been spending alot of time on the forums lately and seen some truly exceptional work being done with the new space marine centurions namely the work of Biohazard (http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/750/399556.page) and Krautscientist (http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/1020/432972.page), particularly in their conversion to be used as obliterators, this has inspired me to come up with my own attempt and see what i can come up with. Being short for cash at the moment i have started with producing some fluff for my unit and Photoshopping an image to get an idea of what my suits could look like.

Here is my fluff:

""Hurt Conveyor suits:

Tired of striking deals and paying the demands of the obliterator and mutilator cults, Lord Dreathor of the World Eaters tasked his warpsmiths with creating a set of suits that would make the obliterators look like the mutated discraces they have become. Their goal was simple, fuse the weapons, armour and daemonic warp entities without corrupting the host, allowing pilots to be 'replaced' should they disobey.

With this in mind the warpsmiths set out to create an exoskeletal suit that any power armored marine could pilot, the suits daemonic fusion would be localized to the weapons themselves and, using similar daemonic processes as the Lord of skulls daemon engines the weapons of the Hurt Conveyors would be fuelled by the blood of the victims slaughtered in the name of Khorne.

The true power these suits possess is housed within the fist mounted weapons, a small but potent warp generator allows the pilot to conjure various weapon configurations from the warp itself. There are two variations the suit can be optimised for, the first designed to mimic the firepower of the obliterators, can conjure any ranged weapon in the World Eaterd arsenal, anything from lascannons to flamers can be brought to bear, allowing the Hurt Conveyor complete tactical flexibility. The other variaton, the favorite among the World Eaters is optimised for close quaters fighting and can conjure a huge range of deadly weapons that can slice through man or machine with equal ease""

I am still working on it but so far that is what i have got.

Here is the picture i have in my head of how i want to convert mine:



Please forgive the horrible photoshop skills.... but yeah basically swap out the chest weapons and back pack for tanks of blood and swap the weapons for warp generated weapons that would be all glowey and shiz. i would magnetise of pin the weapons so i could put on CC weapons and run them as Mutilators or put on ranged weapons and run them as obliterators.

I plan on getting started as soon as i have some disposable income... which could be some time seeing as xmas is right around the corner... either way i would love to hear what do you guys think?

Thanks again for reading!
