Hi all,

So this is a list I am working towards for my World Eaters. C&C appreciated

HQ

Kharn with gorechild

Gahlan Surlak

Legion Champion + master crafted power axe, AA, refractor field, volkite charger, bolt pistol & melta bomb

Troops

Tactical squad (15 strong) additional chainaxes, sgt with AA + power fist

Tactical squad (15 strong) additional chainaxes, sgt with AA + power fist

Inductii squad (15 strong) swap bolt gun for chainaxes, sgt with AA + power fist

Elites

2x Apothecary with AA + augury scanner + chain axe

Contemptor Cortus with kheres + DCCW + heavy flamer + havoc launcher

Heavy Support

Predator with lascannon sponsons + extra armour

Vindicator laser destryer with extra armour

Leviathan siege dreadnought with grav flux bombard + siege drill + phospex discharger + 2x volkite

Each HQ goes with a squad, apothecaries go with non Gahlan squads, tanks provide fire support and the dreads advance with the infantry providing close fire support and punch things.

What do you think?

If you're running up the table I would go with full 20 man squads plus characters.

I would also take the fists of the Sgts and use them as meat shields for small arms fire, keeping them right up front and shaping your units into a wedge. Use your sheer number of attacks at S5-6 to take the enemy down. Then you have characters to do the heavy lifting. Maybe put power weapons on the Apothecaries if anything.

I like the rest of the list but why extra armor on the predator?

I'm also intrigued by the Grav Flux bombard on the Leviathan, what's the general rules for it? It's not move or shoot right?

I put extra armour on the predator because I had a spare 5 points. The grav flux bombard can move and shoot. It's 18" large blast AP2 and infantry under the blast have to pass a strength test on 2D6 or take a wound. Can't remember what it does to vehicles.

3d6 vs. the Vehicles AV. (I.e. you need to roll 12 or higher on 3d6 to glance/pen av 12)

That's the one, I remember now. Thanks
