Hello,

I need some ranged support for my world eaters and I am looking at getting some contemptors or forgeworld dreds.

They seem to be a good fit aesthetics wise for my world eaters but are they a good ranged support choice? They are also not too shabby in combat.

I don't own any forgeworld models so don't know how they fit into detachments etc?

Do I need a separate detachment or can they go into a regular battalion heavy / elite slot?

is there any limit on how many I can take other than the rule of 3?

Thanks

Yes mate, double butcher cannon contemtors are a solid choice, if you want to keep it in WE. Obliterators are great too, but they suffer from being khorne not slaanesh, tbh.

Thanks for the reply.

I have some converted oblits and they are good but too random for me. With MoS they are much better and the double shooting can balance the random stats.

Can contemptors just slot into a regular elite slot in my WE battalion or do they need their own?

Yes they will slot into your World Eaters.

I am going to use 3x myself for Death Guard; Butcher cannons and Havoc Launchers. 6 points for d6 Str 5 shots isn't bad at all, can help pluck a pesky objective unit, or thin a herd.

Or ... you can consider Kytan Ravager. Use daemon forge on it and its 8 str 8 shots at dmg 2. And its good in melee too. Hits into the theme of world eaters well too.

I am just sad they didnt update Lord of Skull points.

I tried this list last time i loved the dakka it deliverd. Every ground vehicle has a extra combibolter, and havoclauncher if possible. The Landraider and Deviler do good big shots. The Heldrake bounds big guns in meele and hunt down characters wirh its baleflamer. Its a good round up beetween heavy meele and dakka. Also the cheap Warpsmith do good Melta shots.

Interesting list. I am also considering a defiler, run him cheap he looks better in combat than at range.

I am looking at contemptors so that I can fill out a vanguard. I am not sure what else in the eavey slot I would take

You do get the benefit of being able to ally a demon with the Crown Relic though. That's some synergy at least.

I like the twin heavy flamer it is a hell of dakka, it can easyly kill a squad of guard or cultists with one try.
