I've got a lot of Khornate stuff lying around and I "DON'T" have any of the 8th ed rules yet ( )so here we go:

World Eaters Battalion detachment:

HQ

Chaos Lord
- Power Axe
- Plasma Pistol
- 86pts

Chaos Lord
- Terminator Armour
- Power Axe
- Plasma Pistol
- 142pts

Troops

Khorne Bezerkers
- Chain Swords
- Chain Axes
- Icon of Wrath
- 95pts

Khorne Bezerkers
- Chain Swords
- Chain Axes
- Icon of Wrath
- 95pts

Khorne Bezerkers
- Chain Swords
- Chain Axes
- 85pts

Chaos Rhino
- Combi-bolter
-72pts

Chaos Rhino
- Combi-bolter
-72pts

Elites

Chaos Terminators
- Power Axes
- Combi-Plasmas
- Icon of Wrath
- 265pts

Raptors
- Plasma Pistols x3
- Chainswords
- Icon of Wrath
- 116pts


Super Heavy Detachment

Renegade Knight
- Rapid Fire Battle Cannon
- Reaper Chainsword
- Meltagun
- 467pts


- 1495pts

The idea is to have one Lord stay within 6" of the two Zerker units and have another drop down with the Raptors and Terminators so that all my World Eaters have the re-roll 1s to hit, I've given most units some form of plasma weapon because with the re-roll 1s plasma is looking rather tasty. I've given all the units Icon of Wrath to help them get into cc (make those 9" charges) but the Lords are lacking icons so I'm worried they'll be left open if they don't make the charge. Of course the Knight is there to deal with anything big and to draw a lot of fire away from the steal traps carrying my zerkers.

What do you think? Anyone else who has played some 8th test games think it will hold up?

3 Troops and 2 HQ minimum for Battalion

Ah my mistake, I saw that before so thought to split the 10 man zerker unit in two but I forgot.

So irritating that they arbitrarily changed the CAD.

This looks pleasant.. I would want to try and bring Kharn. and the precious jugger lord. I guess add in some cultists to make the minimum troop requirement? (or wait til FW release the rules for mutants)

Khan and the juggerlord will see their day in the light I might bring khan at 2000pts. Don't know what I'll do about the Juggerlord, I was gonna wait for a Khorne Daemonkin codex again but it would seem hounds and crushers are quite expensive for what they are. :/

First Time Poster, got back into Warhammer 40k (played it 17 years ago) and have been told to wait for the 8th edition before I start. Now it is here, I have a question about Kharn and would be grateful if someone can help:

He has 6 attacks, yet it says he can fight twice so that means 12 attacks in one sitting, or two rounds of 6?

Also his Gorechild weapon seems insane, so I want to make sure I am right in thinking this:

He needs a 2+ to hit, then needs to wound, then rolls a D3 for a multiplier? With a -4Ap (?!?!).

Does this mean that he can roll 6 (or 12) attacks, lets say they all hit and wound and he gets a 3 multiplier - that's 36 attacks with a -4ap? It sounds too good to be true!

Thanks in advance - love the site!

Here is how the fight phase works now in 8th: anyone who charges carries out all of their attacks, then the two players alternate activating units to attack. This means Khorne units can be activated twice in one fight phase.

You're right about Gorechild, just remember saves come before damage multipliers. Kharn is going to wreck in cc.

Curious as to why you're running min size berzerkers. Wouldn't you want larger squads?

I need a minimum of 3 troops and don't have the points for more, unless you think I should drop the raptors?
