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?

Dakka Daily Poll: What is your opinion on measuring distances in wargaming.

What is your opinion on measuring distances in wargaming.
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.

Dakka Forum: Force Organization Charts?

I got into the hobby at the tail end of 9th edition and never actually made an army with those rules, so I found the discussion about Force Organization Charts in the "11th Edition Core Rule Reactions" thread to be fascinating. I don't want to hijack that thread so...

If you were to use a FOC in 11e, what would it look like? Which FOCs worked better and why?

I happen to also think that armies are cooler with more balanced forces, and, after it was mentioned someone on the forum, I looked at the Squat army in the 2e Codex Army List book. There it imposed restrictions on Squat armies of up to 50% characters, up to 50% support, and at least 25% troops. Even that would shake up the composition of my (imagined) armies. I am not trying to propose a rule but consider a mechanism for fluffier armies. If those armies are also more effective, that'd be a nice bonus.

And how would you decide which units go where? What characteristics make a unit fill a particular role? The initial release of Leagues of Votann units had slots assigned to them in 9e, but everything that came later does not.

Is there a reason why the rest if the universe thought two legged walkers were awesome* and the Votann decided to pass on them?



*yes I realise Tyranids have more than two legs. And same with some sizable Necrons.
