Afternoon Dakka,

I have a few tournies coming up and would like to have your opinions on my rough list. I am running a world eaters beserker list, the aim is to have the beserkers ruin peoples days with their mass of attacks whilst the knight and the daemon prince soak up wounds and allow the zerkers to get in. my dillema is in the HQ slot. a Termi lord or a second DP.....

So, the idea is to have the knight lay down some firepower and mainly take some too. The Daemon prince is there for harass whilst the four units of berserkers move up in the cover of the rhinos before pouncing for skulls.

My dilemma - - - Do i take a second Dp or take a lord in termi armour.

A second Dp would be fantastic, taking more attention away from the berserkers to get in and wreck face. But on the other hand, at the end of my movement phase where the beserkers are out and in range of combat i would teleport the Lord in to buff the beserkers alllowing them to re-roll 1;'s. now lets not forget; they get to fight twice, then the lord will follow the beserkers around and buff them as such.

Cheers guys.

Unfortunately, with the new Codex, Berzerkers are no longer troops.

As for DP vs Lord, I'd go with the second DP in order to provide more big target saturation.

Suggestion , split into 2/3 vanguard detachments. Have two squads of 5 in each rhino.

Ahhh that's frustrating! Even under the world eaters legion rules?

Thanks I was leaning towards that too, may be nullified by the first comment. Haha.

Thanks I will have a look into that see if I can get any more benefits from vanguard detachments instead.
