With the awesome Khorngor Blood Bowl models being released, I really hope that they are in the World Eaters codex.

It's perfect for the "cultist dedicated", occupying the slot of poxwalkers and tzaangors (I really doubt GW releasing a whole army with just zerkers and classic cultists as Troops)
That’s not all – the codex will contain old favourites, dark legends, and some things that you’ve never seen before…
I would expect mostly:
-New zerkers (confirmed)
-Angron
-Khorne terminators
-Khornegors
-Generic zerker Lord
I suppose there are remaining new options for Fast Attack and Heavy Support to complete the codex. Don't know if their lore offers more generic characters

World Eaters would be a good point to release generic bikers. A new Defiler model for HS would be good too.

A plastic Blood Slaughterer would be cool, but from what we've seen in the past GW likes to make its own stuff instead of converting FW ideas. A Daemon engine is a given either way, in addition to the Maulerfiend being in that Codex probably.
Some people will hate it but Berzerkers on juggernauts would be awesome (they already look great in AoS, slap some backpack on them and you're fine ) .

Btw isn't it weird that we don't have any leaks yet? I expected at this point the return of the Camera-Potato
I guess this means the codex'll release on 2023...

From the musings of the net and people who've claimed to work for GW recently, apparently the internal crackdowns on leaks have been most....harsh. Sounds like they put Perturabo and Kurze in charge of handling spies.

...and the Tyranid Trygon, the Tau Piranha, the Spartan, the Contemptor, the Deimos Rhino...I'm sure there's more, that's just the first few to come to mind.

Here's hoping that Khorne gets some nuance back, though I don't have the expectation of such. Have there been any publications this century where Khorne hasn't been one-dimensional?

Rules? No idea. There was a short snippet in the early Horus Heresy books of a human empire that utilized Chaos powers during war (hinted IIRC as Khorne) where they were hesitant to talk to Horus due to his Warmaster title as they assumed he was fully in the thrall of the chaos powers. I think that was shortly before he was poisoned by the dagger.

I have a sinking feeling that World Eaters will be the Space Wolves on the Traitor Legions, forever destined to be Flanderised out the wazoor with an devolution into nothing but a even bloodier bloody blood-soaked bloodletting blood pact of blood!!!

It's really uncanny. Kharn is probably not a fan-favorite in the Horus Heresy series, but he's interestingly written and pretty awesome even when he shows up in other books. The other World Eaters that have shown up (such as the Loyalist one that works for Malcador) are all pretty darn cool.
Yet all we get in 40K is Murder McMurderface.

I would hope so! He'd be a great counter to Murderfang.
I still can't believe that model exists.

Not always. He's written quite well in Eater of Worlds and The Red Path.

DG has had a similar fate already though. There's very little of their tragedy or agony and despair left when you read their Codex, it's much more: Praise the poo, look how my guts are hanging out, that's funny, eh?
They're gruesome monsters you don't need to hesitate to kill because they're evil and nothing more, which is sad, really. Lords of Silence luckily brought a little nuance back.

That is very recent; the 9th ed codex has massively slimmed down fluff sections. The 8th ed codex still covered that, and Nurgle definitely has proper nuance on the AoS side.

Yes, he is tied to the Stormcast character Yndrasta (angelic figure on the front of the core rulebook); in her mortal life she led and army opposing Chaos until finally defeated by Doombreed. During this defeat she was dueling Doombreed and, realizing she was going to lose, opted to call down lightning on them both. Sigmar thought that was pretty cool and took her up to be reforged instead of letting her die. This event happened centuries before the events of the AoS game but it is a reference that only cropped up as of the 3rd edition launch. If they had been planning a Doombreed model the timing would line up but it is pretty circumstantial.

Is that the very one found upon the planet Omnicide? Murderfang, bestowed with his special ability Murderlust, driving him to murder enemies with his weapons; the Murderclaws?

Reading the lore from the White Dwarf: they insist a lot in a new character notseen before in any book that I know of: Berserker surgeons.8in page 81) Looks like they are techmarines and apotecaries who have specialized on the technology of the Nails, and create new zerkers, be it extracting the genetic seed or implanting the Nails on new recruits. One even appears on the tale of Kharn.
That is very interesting because it explains perfectly how the World Eaters have survived ten milenia. I suppose they would be added on the new codex on HQ or Elite slots
Seeing that there's also a strat for the Red Butchers (WE termies), I would expect them too on the new codex

Beserker Surgeons have been mentioned in the lore since 4th edition at the latest. I would hope to see figures for them.

Thread title should say: "World Eaters Whishlist and and casual speculation", because thats what it will for about 30 pages untill some snippet of actual rumor appear (and even then it will be 90% musings about some detail of lore thet might get attention).
Not that Im complaing, its always good fun as we wait.

How can they act as techmarines or apothecaries when they suffer from the nails themselves?
