Your Libby is just riding around on his own asking to die. Aldo the sword is probably the worst force weapon, maul or axe are generally better.

With the rest of the army being assault based and you being World Eaters why haven't you swapped the bolters for chain axes? I'd have thought a powerfist and Artificier armour on the Sergeant were auto-includes particularly for WE.

The tactical support squad are 5 guys with VERY short ranged weapons that do a lot of damage and have literally no way to get there.

Two big hard hitting Elite units though I feel the Gal Vorbak would benefit from a character too.

Then you have 3 predators in one squad. This is all your AT meaning you can massively overkill 1 vehicle a turn.

You have no AA and VERY limited AT. I think Mortis Contemptors would be a better bet than the tactical support squad and Predators as they'd solve both problems. The other option is to load everything into Landraiders and ignore flyers using the LRs as your AT.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569543/6366111.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569543/6366111.page GMT World Eaters and Word Bearers Legion 2500 point army

Are you allowed to mix Legions? I don't have Massacre only the Betrayal. Also I would look at Angrons rules again he can not have a stat of more than 10.

I'm pretty sure you can have two legions in one army. This is pretty fluff friendly.
You're right about that. I looked at the book.
I'm getting rid of the predators in place of Sicaran battle tanks.
A little bit of fire support is always good. This is why I have the marines with bolters. I have them so they can just spam Fury of the legion for 40 bolter shots.
The Librarian is there to buff up the Primarch and the two huge elite units.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569543/6366253.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569543/6366253.page GMT World Eaters and Word Bearers Legion 2500 point army HQ and troop Word Bearer is needed.

Those 40 bolter shots are very unlikely to happen. The restrictions really limit when you can use it, in practice it is a pretty pointless ability unless you've got a gunline. Bolters don't really add anything that you can't deal with in assault.

I know what a Librarian does I just don't get why you've put him on a jetbike as he has no jetbike unit to join so is going to just float around on his own and give up FB.

You're really going to struggle to win ANY games with this.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569543/6366969.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/569543/6366969.page GMT World Eaters and Word Bearers Legion 2500 point army

Thank you for the critique.
