You need to remove the points costs of the individual wargear items. GW objects to forums featuring individual item points costs because they reckon people can get away with not buying books and scavenging points costs off of forums instead. You can and should still have a cost for the whole unit, but not for each individual piece of wargear.

Additionally, you might want to add a points total. It looks like it might be about 1k, but without adding everything up it might be 1250 or something in between.

Once you make those too changes i'll take a more detailed look.

thanks man.

I would have made the Consul a Jump Apothecary and added him to the assault squad. How are your Destroyers getting to their target? Without jump packs or a rhino they are kinda pointless since all they really have is the single missile launcher.

What are you doing about armor? In my 1k lists I field either a Sicarian or a Contemptor and will sit back and shoot, especially in a night fight. You might at least find points to give your sgts melta bombs. Except for my heavy support guys, my sgts never leave home without them.

Not doubting you, I just dont remember off hand, but can an Apothecary join Destroyers?

Just running the numbers in my head and it seems less than 1k, in the 970ish area.

It is indeed 970 pts (will be at 1000 with jump pack for Librarian), I am debating as to what I will do about my Destroyers transport wise. I think I will shoot for Jump packs Also keep in mind I am trying to make this list as ridiculously CC oriented as possible but I may bring a predator to the field. I am pretty much unable to afford any of the big armor but I may be able to get a Contemptor

What?! Bwahahahhahahahahhahahaha. Ah! Bwahahahahaha!

Aha! Ahahahaha!,

Oh my g... really? REALLY? Bwahahaha!

Oh god... oh man... wow...

Holy wa!

That gave me a dern good laugh that did. GW knows what bittorrent is right?

God it's like watching children fight. Lol, not you guys, GW. Watching GW handle their business is like watching a fat kid try to hog all the pie.

edit: I guess I could post on topic too... I like the World Eaters as a Legion and I think it's awesome that you want to build a World Eaters army! If it were me though I'd play it a little more fluffy and nix the Pyskers and throw in some Dreads.

I would love to throw in some dreads as well but my wallet won that battle...

At this point in the Legion Psykers werent considered bad guys by the WE. Not until after Khorne got involved did they kill off all their psykers.

You could get a Dread well armed with bonus guys for the tactical squad. I think the jump medic would be more useful at this point scale(then again I am biased against psykers) but at this points level, every guy saved is important.

Personally I recommend a Mortis Contemptor with twin Kheres. Gives you the ability to shoot one down if some cheesy git brings a flyer at 1k while still being all around useful at gunning down anything else, even if short ranged. They are great for their points. Try to save up for one, you usually wont regret it.

After much consideration I decided to drop the assault squad and swap em with a tactical squad but give both of them Rhinos. I may also bring my Destroyers up to 10 and buy a Contemptor when I can afford one.

You might want to put the Destroyers in a rhino in either case, they only have pistols and need to get close. That or give them jump packs, however you need to bring them up to 10 to make that cost worthwhile.

Or add Moritat with twin plasma

playing with plasma is a dangerous game man.

Not when they are wearing artificer armor. Its been awhile but dont BS 5 guys get to reroll also? Plus chainfiring twin plasma pistols is pretty nice even without prescience. And if you really wanted him to survive, add a jump medic, but that's a bit much for what I consider a glass cannon throwaway unit.
