Since Faith and Fury came out, I'm finding myself leaning more towards building fluffy chaos lists simply for the cool factor. I did it with the Night Lords before this book was released and understood it to be the terrible list that it was. But damned if it doesn't look good!
I've been looking through F&F, and found myself writing up a list of a Bezerker heavy World Eater list because of one Stratagem I saw... Apoplectic Frenzy. Forward Deploying Berzerkers? Yes please!!!
Here's the list (everything is Mark of Khorne, obviously):
World Eater Battalion
HQ
Chaos Lord: Gorefather (Relic Chainaxe), Chainsword. 75pts
Kharn the Betrayer. 120pts
Troops
8 Khorne Berzerkers: 7x Chainsword / Chainaxe; Champ w/ Chainsword & Power Fist; Icon of Wrath. 146pts
8 Khorne Berzerkers: 7x Chainsword / Chainaxe; Champ w/ Chainsword & Power Fist; Icon of Wrath. 146pts
8 Khorne Berzerkers: 7x Chainsword / Chainaxe; Champ w/ Chainsword & Power Fist; Icon of Wrath. 146pts
World Eater Battalion (Soulforged Pack)
HQ
Lord Discordant: Baleflamer, Techno-virus Injector, Bloodhunger (Relic), Warlord (Master of the Soulforges). 170pts
Lord Discordant: Baleflamer, Techno-virus Injector. 170pts
Lord Discordant: Baleflamer, Techno-virus Injector. 170pts
Troops
8 Khorne Berzerkers: 7x Chainsword / Chainaxe; Champ w/ Chainsword & Power Fist; Icon of Wrath. 146pts
8 Khorne Berzerkers: 7x Chainsword / Chainaxe; Champ w/ Chainsword & Power Fist; Icon of Wrath. 146pts
8 Khorne Berzerkers: 6x Chainsword / Chainaxe; 1x Chainsword / Bolt Pistol; Champ w/ Chainsword & Power Fist; Icon of Wrath. 145pts
Night Lord Air Wing Detachment
3 Heldrakes: Baleflamer. 420pts
Total Points: 2000
Command Points: 14 (12 after pregame strats)
First thing's first... I know it "technically" isn't a pure World Eater list because the Drakes are Night Lord. I did that for one simple reason - Vox Scream.
The game plan is just about as straight forward as Khorne would like it. I spend 6 command points before the first turn to "forward deploy" the Berzerkers, and then run them at the enemy. Khorne cares not from whence the blood flows!
This is a list that is charging on turn one. Will it struggle with anti-tank? Absolutely. Will it be cool to see 50 Berzerkers raging across the board with some big gribblies right beside them? Absolutely! Will I hate painting red by the end of it? You better beslubbering believe it!
