LGT game 2- World Eaters vs Agents of the Imperium

The second game of the LGT saw my World Eaters going into the Agents of the Imperium. The mission was Purge the Foe, on crucible of battle with smoke and mirrors.

My army consisted of:

Angron

Lord Invocatus

Master of Executions- Berserker Glaive

Chaos Lord on Juggernaught- Favoured of Khorne

10 Berzerkers- 3 Plasma Pistols, Icon

Rhino

10 Jakhals

2 Chaos Spawn

6 Exalted Eightbound

3 Exalted Eightbound

3 Eightbound

Forgefiend- 2 Hades Autocannons, Ectoplasma Cannon

This is a tournament list I have been playing about with for a little while. It has been performing pretty well for me, so would be interested to see how it fared at a larger event.

Aaron's army consisted of:

Callidus Assassin

Eversor Assassin

Vindicare Assassin

Inquisitor Draxus

2 Navigators

Rogue Trader Entourage

4 x 10 Navy Breachers

2 x 5 Inquisitorial Agents

3 x 10 Subjugator Squad

2 x 5 Voidsmen

3 Armiger Warglaives

Chimera

A very horde guard-like army, which my army would be very good into. The Armigers were the biggest threat to Angron and my units, so would need to be dealt with.

LGT Game 1- World Eaters vs Leagues of Votaan

I recently attend the London Grand Tournament for 40k with my World Eaters. My first game was against Si and his Leagues of Votaan.

The first mission was Terraform, with sweeping engagement deployment and swift deployment.

My army consisted of:

Angron

Lord Invocatus

Master of Executions- Berserker Glaive

Chaos Lord on Juggernaught- Favoured of Khorne

10 Berzerkers- 3 Plasma Pistols, Icon

Rhino

10 Jakhals

2 Chaos Spawn

6 Exalted Eightbound

3 Exalted Eightbound

3 Eightbound

Forgefiend- 2 Hades Autocannons, Ectoplasma Cannon

This is a tournament list I have been playing about with for a little while. It has been performing pretty well for me, so would be interested to see how it fared at a larger event.

Si's army consisted of:

Brokhyr Iron-master

Einhyr Champion

Kahl

10 Hearthkin warriors

3 Sagitaurs

6 Thunderkyn- Graviton

5 Beserks

10 Hearthguard

5 Hearthguard

Hekaton Land Fortress- Conversion Beamer

3 units of 3 Pioneers

10 Yaegirs

The Votaan had a lot of strong firepower, as well as the infiltrators and scouting Pioneers that would mess up my inital scout moves.

Winchester GT Overview- Day 2

The second day of the Winchester GT would see me play two more games with my World Eaters. The fourth game was against Michael and his Chaos Knights.

Game 4

This mission was Supply Drop on Crucible of Battle with smoke and mirrors. Michael's army consisted of a Knight Desecrator, 5 Brigands and 6 Karnivores.

I had played Chaos Knights a few times recently and had been able to beat them, so felt ok about this. However, Supply Drop is a tough mission for a combat army and a lot of the middle objectives were in the open against the firepower of a Knight army.

I deployed much of my army hidden in the ruins on the bottom of my deployment zone. Michael set up much of his army far back in his deployment zone, safe from most first turn charges. I used smoke and mirrors to put a unit of Jakhals in reserve, along with the 3-man Exalted. In this game, I used the Forgefiend to hold my home objective. It's firepower would not be of great use against the Knights, and the Jakhals would be more useful for move blocking and sacrificing for objectives.

This would come down to who committed first, as his big Knight could kill Angron and Angron could kill the big Knight.

Winchester GT Overview- Day 1

I recently attended a two-day GT in Winchester. I took my World Eaters, who have been on a good roll recently at local RTTs, and wanted to see how they would fare at a larger event.

My list consisted of:

Angron

Lord Invocatus

Master of Executions- Berserker Glaive

Chaos Lord on Juggernaught- Favoured of Khorne

10 Berzerkers- 3 Plasma Pistols, Icon

Rhino

10 Jakhals

2 Chaos Spawn

6 Exalted Eightbound

3 Exalted Eightbound

3 Eightbound

Forgefiend- 2 Hades Autocannons, Ectoplasma Cannon

This is a list I have been trying out recently with the Forgefiend. I like the volume of autocannon shots, as they are great for clearing screens or marine bodies that I would need to trade a unit with in combat. The plasma cannon is also great for chipping away at vehicles or tougher bodies.

The Lord on Juggernaught is there for the blessing re-roll, as well as being a trade piece for actions or clearing units off of objectives.

Mystic Games RTT: Game 3- World Eaters vs Chaos Knights

Game 3 of the recent Mystic Games RTT would see my World Eaters take on Dan's Chaos Knights. The mission was Scorched Earth, with Crucible of Battle deployment and an extra objective.

My army consisted of:

Angron

Lord Invocatus

Master of Execution (Berserker Glaive)

Kharn

10 Berzerkers

5 Berzerkers

Rhino

10 Jackals

2 Spawn

3 Eightbound

6 Exalted Eightbound

3 Exalted Eightbound

George's army consisted of:

Knight Lancer- Aura of Terror

Poxbringer

Rotigus

4 War Dog Brigands

2 War Dog Huntsman

2 War Dog Karnivores

3 Nurglings

My army consisted of:

Angron

Lord Invocatus

Master of Execution (Berserker Glaive)

Kharn

10 Berzerkers

5 Berzerkers

Rhino

10 Jackals

2 Spawn

3 Eightbound

6 Exalted Eightbound

3 Exalted Eightbound

Mystic Games RTT: Game 1- World Eaters vs Orks

I recently attended a 34-player RTT, held by Mystic Games in Witney. Game 1 saw my World Eaters take on Scott's Dread Mob Orks. The mission was Take and Hold, with Hammer and Anvil deployment and hidden supplies (extra objective).

This tournament took place after the recent balance update, so those rules were in effect. However, the event was still using the Leviathan missions, as it was held very close to the release of the new missions cards and they couldn't guarantee that everyone could get a set in time.

My army consisted of:

Angron

Lord Invocatus

Master of Execution (Berserker Glaive)

Kharn

10 Berzerkers

5 Berzerkers

Rhino

10 Jackals

2 Spawn

3 Eightbound

6 Exalted Eightbound

3 Exalted Eightbound

I had made a couple of changes since the last tournament list thanks to the points drops in the recent dataslate. I was able to drop a unit of Eightbound, which gave me enough points to take Kharn and a second Rhino for the 5-man squad.

I like the Berzerkers, but the 5-man didn't really do a lot in my previous games. They don't have the damage output on their own, but are good for holding objectives. Adding Kharn would seriously boost their damage output, and the extra Rhino would be good for keeping them safe and getting them around the battlefield.

Winchester Tournament: Game 3- World Eaters vs Grey Knights

Game 3 of the recent Winchester Tournament saw my World Eaters take on Dan's Grey Knights in Take and Hold with Search and Destroy deployment (with Hidden Supplies extra objective).

My army consisted of:

Angron

Lord Invocatus

Master of Execution (Berserker Glaive)

10 Berzerkers

5 Berzerkers

Rhino

10 Jackals

2 Spawn

3 Eightbound

6 Exalted Eightbound

3 Exalted Eightbound

Winchester Tournament: Game 2- World Eaters vs Death Guard

Game 2 of the tournament would see my World Eaters take on John's Death Guard. The mission was Priority Targets with Dawn of War deployment, with the Sweep and Clear special rule.

My army consisted of:

Angron

Lord Invocatus

Master of Execution (Berserker Glaive)

10 Berzerkers

5 Berzerkers

Rhino

10 Jackals

2 Spawn

3 Eightbound

6 Exalted Eightbound

3 Exalted Eightbound

Winchester Tournament: Game 1- World Eaters vs Tyranids

I recently attend a one-day tournament in Winchester, taking my World Eaters for the three games. This event featured some custom terrain layouts, the first time I had tried them.

Game 1 was against Charles and his Tyranids, playing Scorched Earth on sweeping engagement, with the Supply Drop special rule.

My army consisted of:

Angron

Lord Invocatus

Master of Execution (Berserker Glaive)

10 Berzerkers

5 Berzerkers

Rhino

10 Jackals

2 Spawn

3 Eightbound

6 Exalted Eightbound

UKTC Oxford Super Major- Tournament overview Day 2

I recently attended the Oxford Super Major with my World Eaters army. My first day saw the World Eaters going 2-1, taken out by Necrons in the third game.

My fourth game would see me going into the Aeldari, commanded by Seth.

The list I took was:

Angron

Master of Execution- Berserkers Glaive

Lord Invocatus

10 Berzerkers

Rhino

5 Berzerkers

10 Jackals

6 Exalted Eightbound

3 Exalted Eightbound

3 Eightbound

2 Chaos Spawn

Seth's army consisted the Avatar, Fuegan, a Farseer, Skyleaper character, two units of Rangers, two units of Shadow Spectres, a unit of Warp Spiders, a unit of Swooping Hawks, Fire Dragons, two D Cannons, a Falcon and two Fire Prisms.

A lot of good firepower and some useful movement tricks with the units and stratagems.

The mission was Scorched Earth with Crucible of Battle and an extra objective. I deployed using my usual set up. Angron went behind the large ruins on the bottom, with a unit of Jackals and the Eightbound. The other unit of Jackals and exalted set up to scout move up, with the Rhino in the middle ruins and a unit of Spawn and Berzerkers to go after the top objectives.

UKTC Oxford Super Major- Tournament Review Day 1

I recently attended the first Oxford Super Major held by the UKTC. This was a new event for 2024 in the area, and I was keen to try it out since it was so local to me. I decided to take my World Eaters, as I have been using them a lot recently in the club league and they are one of the most competitive armies that I currently own.

Overall, I had a great time at the event. The venue was really nice and spacious. There was space on each table to place models, drinks, etc, and plenty of space to move around the hall and between tables, something that is not always the case at UKTC events. The event seemed to run really smoothly and I had some tough games, with no easy wins over the course of the weekend.

The list I took was:

Angron

Master of Execution- Berserkers Glaive

Lord Invocatus

10 Berzerkers

Rhino

5 Berzerkers

10 Jackals

6 Exalted Eightbound

3 Exalted Eightbound

3 Eightbound

2 Chaos Spawn

I decided to take a second unit of Jackals for screening and move blocking purposes. I swapped out Kharn for the Master of Execution, as he is better into a lot of the meta units at the moment.

Tournament Battle Report- Chaos Daemons vs Blood Angels

Today's battle report features my Khorne Chaos Daemons taking on Tom's Blood Angels army at our Into the Maelstrom 5 club tournament.

This tournament was billed as a friendlier style event, where less powerful lists were used and some of the more unusual missions would be in play. The tournament was using GW layout terrain and featured 16 players.

My army consisted of:

Belakor

Bloodthirster

6 units of Bloodletters

3 Bloodcrushers

3 units of 5 Flesh hounds

Skull Cannon

Fire and Dice Tournament: Game 2- World Eaters vs Necrons

Game 2 of the tournament would see my World Eaters take on the Hypercrypt Necrons in the Supply Drop mission. This was not a great mission to be playing against this army, as their teleport ability would make it easy for them to get onto the objectives late in the game to get a lot of points on the primary mission.

Fire and Dice Tournament: Game 1- World Eaters vs Iron Hands

I recently attended the Fire and Dice tournament in High Wycombe, taking my new World Eaters army to a tournament for the first time. I had been playing them in the gaming club league for a couple of weeks, so wanted to see how they would perform against some different lists.

This tournament was a tribute to Sid Sidhu, who sadly passed away earlier this year. Sid was a staple of the tournament scene and a lovely person, who was a big supporter of the tournaments that we host at the club. It was really nice to see everyone come together for a great day of gaming and a nice tribute to his memory.
