I will be starting a blog soon once I get my painting station fully set up again.
But I need some opinions for my 2ed World eater army,

It's going to have a Lord, mighty champion on a juggernaut, 8 terminators, 8 berserkers, 8 chaos hounds and 3 khorne bikers.
My plan is to paint them as Pre heresy colors with the back ground of them being the one clan to keep the colors after Kharn went nuts and they broke up.
For the terminators I am wondering if I should get the Forgeworld world eater kit since I want Zhufor to be the Asp champ of that unit. OR do I use Chapterhouse Pre heresy shoulder pads for the terminators? And add even more rivets all around?

I used Zhufor and the Khorne termie kit for my army, and I can say that the termie kit is a really nice addition to make your guys stand out as 'definitely Khornate'.

However, pre-heresy shoulderpads are pretty nice, and they'd fit with your theme well...

If you aren't on a budget, I'd get both the chapterhouse and forge world kits. Both will tie really well into your theme, and from a practical point of view, it'd make sense that a chaos marine force would have to use any armor they could get their hands on - terminator armor is especially hard to replace given the sheer amount of resources and knowledge required to create more.
If you're on a budget, then I would decide between having the warband look retro or having it look Khornate. I'm pretty sure chapterhouse's pads are cheaper than forge world's, but keep in mind that the khorne kit will give you heads and torsos instead of just pauldrons.

Anyway, hope that helps a lil, good luck!

That helps a lot! And thanks for the reply in the other thread,
I am trying to be very tight with this project money wise. What I like about the FW pads is that i get the World Eater symbol on the shoulder vrs a blank pad.
Price point there isn't a huge difference and FW would probably be a bit cheaper since I'd only need to buy 2 pairs of legs and arms.

I'll save chapter house for after then maybe and do a loyalist force with them

Thanks again!

You're welcome, always glad to see people working on Khorne and World Eaters, I get sick of all the loyalist stuff
By the way, I don't mean to promote myself here, but if you're interested in seeing some khorne termies here on dakka, I started a WIP thread a while back. Here's the link:

I'd say the FW kit as well due to it having the World Eaters symbol.
