Ron looks great. He'd be more distinctive from Bloodthirsters if GW hadn't moved away from the "canine" faces that 'thirsters originally had.

I'm not mad about that change, by the way (totally mad).

Doesn't the bloodthirster kit have an option for a dog face? Maybe its a bit more bull-ish, but it still looks like a homage to the older model

Eh, not so much - looks too bovine to me. I want them to look like the guy in profile in the upper left picture...



...granted, even the metals at the time didn't look like that. I can see that the one you posted could be an homage.

Ok, that new pic of Angron has insured that I'll get him, expensive bastard that I'm sure he'll be

...granted, even the metals at the time didn't look like that. I can see that the one you posted could be an homage.

There were actually 3 different heads for the metals (well, the RoC-era metal models, that are what's now daemon prince sized)

There was a dog faced one with a picklehaube helmet (like in the picture, but without the side horns), but the dog's jaws were closed and it wasn't a particularly good sculpt. The other helmeted head was worse- really the only good head was the skull. They're in the color photos in StD (same book as the page you posted), the dog head is featured in a battle between world eaters and ultramarines (page 165, but its un-numbered)

Would you believe six different heads (I have all but the one with the bat winged helmet - I might have a hoarding problem)?

Nothing’s changed with the player base here I see. Always something to be unhappy about.

Angron looks too much like a bloodthirster? So what? -the model looks awesome!

Angron with a bunch of bloodthirsters on the table would look like an AoS army, which I think would look great.

By complaining about the complainers, you're feeding into the cycle!

Just let other people dislike it as much as you do like it- it doesn't really matter either way.

I’m complaining? Or telling people what to do and not to do? Look at you bossing me around telling me what I should do! I don’t need your permission, son, or approval.

Haha anyways... Looking forward to seeing the updated WE Zerkers. Add a Lord of Skulls to the mix. The thematic look of this army will look striking. Double neato points if the new dex will include the usage of Bloodthirsters.

The only thing that bugs me about Angron is simply that the face deviates too much from the Art and HH Model. The chin looks too wide and remembers more of Thanos rather than of Angron. Despite this, it is an awesome Model I look forward to see on the table.

I am also really Curious what units we will see in the Rooster for WE. The Leak also shows the Wing of a Blood Thirster in the background. This could make WE the first God-Allegiant-Legion to use Deamons.

It is a tough spot to build a World Eater army right now. Not knowing what units can be reused from CSM is really an unpleasant thing. While I am confident that we will see Rhinos, Land Raiders and Mauler Fiends, I assume that Terminators get dropped for a new faction specific counterpart. What about Hellturkeys? Tearing down planes in Meele from the Skies is 100% Khorne, meanwhile I wouldn’t say that I am certain to see them survive the transition. I hate this state :/

Given how the DG book is structured, I wouldn't bet on any in-Codex Daemons aside from the Daemon Prince.

Using the Death Guard book as a template, I'd be reasonably confident on seeing the following, and less confident on others - I'm not going to rule anything out 100%, though, aside from the other Cult units:
- World Eaters Daemon Prince
- Kharn
- World Eaters Chaos Lord
- World Eaters Chaos Lord in Terminator Armour
- Khorne Berserkers
- Helbrute (or World Eaters Helbrute)
- World Eaters Possessed
- Chaos Spawn
- Chaos Land Raider
- Chaos Rhino
- Chaos Predator (both variants)
- Defiler
- Angron

I'd also throw in "World Eaters Terrain Piece" and some form of "World Eaters Cultists", too. Probably the Master of Executions too, thinking about it.

After that, I think we're outside of "inherited unit territory" and into "new World Eaters units" space.

I bet we'll see 40k Khorne Juggernaut unit and Khornigors

Khorngors, no i.

No, not ruling them out at all - I was just thinking about what units might make the jump from the current CSM book into the forthcoming World Eaters book.

Please no Khorngors, I bet you. That would mean every single boxed kit with World Eaters would be 5-6 Marines and 20-30 Khorngors, from now until the end of time.

Looking at the leaked image it looks like there's some kind of unit with two-handed weapons in the background.

Following the DG template, there may be a whole raft of new characters. The Red Butchers seem to have fast become an iconic heresy unit so wouldn't be surprised to see a truly corrupted 41st Millennium version.

I know it won’t happen, but I’d still love to see close combat Defilers ridden into combat by Khorne Berzerkers

Tbf I blame this on the fact the Thousand Sons lack a large range of figures to actually put in those boxes.

There is a khorne terminator lord coming with the new Warhammer + Subscription, and since the previous models have all been real units, its not out of the realm of possibilities there will be a stand alone kit.

And personally I doubt that World Eaters are going to get much more, tbh.

I dunno. The novels talk about Angron's fanged maw --undoubtedly a nod to the WE symbol also -- and IIRC he actually *eats* enemy combatants on at least one occasion. So I get the thinking regarding giving him a large mouth and therefore jaw to go with it. Alt heads are definitely possible too.

I just want the Slaughterbrute to be part of the 'Dex.

Well, the Death Guard did, which is why I am semi-confident in the potential for the WB to get more stuff.

IMO the TS design manifesto really did not seem to take into account the approach of 8th (i.e., that all the legions would be broken off into their own books with their own unique figures), because when all their models were released the TS were part of the CSM army.

I think DG did because they were the bad guy faction in the starter for the edition. Necrons got a lot too. I’d hope WE get more than TS, but I think they’ll be closer to them than the Death Guard.

Yall are just suposing khorngors would be useless on the new codex. Don't forget GW's rule of "newest model gets best rules"

Which is one of those ‘rules’ with as many exceptions as examples following it.

We're supposing people who want to run a WE army will want to run an army composed of World Eaters, instead of armies in the style of classic TSons boxed set of "Five Marines and thirty goats".

Birds. But I bet Emperor's Children would love to have six goats for each Marine.

Rules roulette and future army boxes aside, I'd be more worried that Khorne's dog soldiers will get the classic Plague Marine treatment with a box of eight for the price of ten. That initial leaked picture is not a good sign.

Seeing the lack of more leaks, I would say WE won't come until later this year- or the next

Yeah I'd prefer just boxes of Marines myself. Although I wouldn't be surprised if they take the chaos beastmen from BSF and throw them in WE.

I would be, there’s a whole 2 models and they aren’t even available anymore.

Edit: BSF is actually still around, turns out, but I’d still be very surprised unless we got a separate box as said below. Even then, they aren’t specifically Khorne, they’d likely just be chaos in general.

I'd like to see a box of 10 of those. Could be used for both world eaters chaff troops and chaos guard melee troops.

I don't see why they would go for it, realistically, given we already have Chaos Cultists with an identical loadout.

same goes for poxwalkers and tzaangors

I'm hopping khorngors will have some funky melee weapons options. And that they'll be playable in AOS's beast of chaos in a reverse Tzaangor fashion.
