I'm a big World Eaters player, so I'm a little surprised that I haven't posted my Army List to get some insight from other players. I've already played this list once before so I know a bit about how it works. However, I would really appreciate any advice that my fellow players can offer to help me improve. This list is designed, or at least intended, to be an All-Comers list and not overly competitive, though that doesn't mean I wouldn't mind winning.

I like the list, only one thing really.

I don't think you'll really be getting much out of that bike squad. Have they helped a lot in the past? Done a great deal at all? I could understand the bike squad a little more if you were using it for tank hunting or something similar, but it just kind of looks like another assault unit that is pretty expensive for 4 models. The only real advantage they have on anything is the ability to be hitting the lines almost anywhere (given deployment) on turn two. But something so threatening will probably be a big target to the enemy.

I'd say either try doing something else with that 212 points (Like another Vindi or a Pred or possibly HQ # 2) or shift that squads make up a little bit. It's kind of a suicide squad if it's hitting tanks so cut back the champ and the PF and just give them the IoK (for flavor) and 2x melta-guns.

Yeah - I agree with the above - lose the bike squad and pick up a DP - or go fluffy and pretty killy and go with Kharn. If you don't want a second HQ go with a Vindicator - and use the spare points to boost the beserkers numbers - or get powerfists on all.

I like Bikes, hell i use a bike squad, but it has 2 uses, a tank hunter unit that draws fire or a delivery system for deep striking termies. I use mine for the latter purpose with the bikes in enemy territory in turn 2 you can get your terminators into battle quickly.... I would personally keep the list as is, and add some termies when you can (i know cost can be prohibitive), you wil be surprised at how effective this can be.

I really like your list, but yeah, I would drop the bikes and give all the zerker squads powerfists and make them all 8 men strong, that leaves you with 174 points to play with.

Enough for another HS support choice or a winged daemon prince with mark of khorne and 50 points left over.

I would drop the bikes. As has been said, you are better off taking other stuff. Another vindicator? Another HQ? The choice is yours, but I think dropping the bikes for other stuff is your best bet.

Also, with the bikes the only thing in your army that is not mechanized, they will probably be a prime target for small arms fire, and get taken out quickly.

swap out the bikes for triple oblits, running them together or as 3 units of 1. This will give you some firepower.

Swapping out a Berzerker squad for dual Autocannon/HB Predators might help you a lot. Doing that would probably also free up points for another PF in the 1st zerk squad and maybe let you add more berzerkers to each squad.

Would it be a good idea to replace the Bikers squad with a Squad of Chosen Space Marines? I did the math and it's about 199 for an 8 man Chosen Squad with MoK and 3 Flamers and 2 Meltas.

As for available squads I could add I've also got a four Terminators with MoK 3 armed with Combi-meltas and a Champion with Twin Lightning Claws. I've also got 8 Bloodletters.

It will take a bit to get new vehicles though, as they can be rather expensive. However, when I've got the money I plan to get a Defiler.

Ew, a defiler is a bad choice. It just isn't that effective. The battlecannon is fun I guess, but a vindicator can do its job + more and its smaller, so you can get a cover save. AC/HB preds are still my recomendation.
