Hi Everyone

As we start to finalise the World Eaters list, the supplement itself is coming together as well.

On Apoc's thread requesting Khornate pictures, the following was suggested by E&C:

Quote: 

Would it not be cooler to have a World Eaters vs. "someone" supplement?

*pokes Frogbear*

Do community stuff!


I am not the greatest project leader, and my main strengths remain in support and enthusiasm, however I will open this up for ideas.

If you were to see a World Eaters supplement where they are an antagonist to someone else, what army/race would you suggest?

Hmmm.....Emperors Children? Skalathrax?  :grin:

The only big World Eaters engagement apart from Skalathrax i know of is the 1st War for Armageddon.

Else traditionally it is Xenos or Chaos against the Imperium. So pick one of the variant Imperial Guard army lists perhabs add one Space Marine variant list and voilá.

Just found on the german Lexicanum:;
During the 13th Black Crusade a warband under Warlor Kossolax the Foresworn attacked the Forgeworld Agripinaa and summoned hordes of Daemons and a Bloodthirster. Regarrdless they where wiped out by the Blood Angels and Sanguinary High Priest Numitor. Kossolax escaped.

Also found this regarding the same subject:
Quote: 

Why did Sanguinary High Priest Numitor sworn vengeance against Kossolax the Foresworn of the World Eaters Legion?
During the recent Eye of Terror conflict Kossolax summoned a Greater Daemon of Khorne during the battle between the Blood Angels and World Eaters on Agripinaa, the Daemon wrought great havoc amongst the ranks of the Blood Angels, but far worse in the eyes of Sanguinius' sons, spilt the Blood of their Primarch when it severed Numitor's arm causing his Grail Cup to fall, spilling Sanguinius' blood across the tainted pavement. For these 2 reasons has Numitor sworn vengeance, no matter the cost. ( Oz WD 286 - IA: Eye of the Storm)

vs Emperor's Children would be fun :)
Khorne vs Admech could be a bit red vs red  :upside: but if you could justify Khorne vs Dark Mech/forge of souls ....so many daemon engines  :love:  :devil:  :love:

TRC gave his ideas of a Khorne force that was very much into Daemon summoning.

I am in the process of getting it together as an alternate Khorne list called Satana's Warband, but I may relate it to this one instead...

Emperor's Children? Perhaps    :glare:

Blood Angels (CC vs CC) - maybe...   :rock:  

Admech?  I am not really sure... perhaps.  :upside:

Nothing is really jumping out at me and saying "YES!" so far...

Cool idea, good luck with it!

Aesthetically I’d avoid another red army, especially another marine army. It’d be good to have variety and contrast of armies and colours in battle photos (at a glance may not otherwise be obvious which marines were on which side if they fought Blood Angels.

Emporers Children would be a good adversary, or I’m quite fond of the idea of Sisters of Battle as opponents.

WE vs squats with traitor chaos squats aiding them, including brutal combat in vast city size squat underground complexes/mines synchronised with above ground battles.

Meh. No Squats please.
How about Red vs Green? World Eaters against Orks?

I was going to say Emperors Children but given FB's  :glare: -ness on the idea, how about Dark Angels if we're going green? Also TRC is part of that list and he's been collaborating with FB already with the WE's. Do we have to have an historically accurate opposing force?

What about Tau?  :grin: My army's green  :laugh:  :laugh:  Not sure if I'm kidding here yet  :laugh:

World Eaters vs. Exodites or some other flavor of Eldar would be interesting.

As stated, the only real major engagements have been the Horus Heresy, Skalathrax (the event was big, yet the engagement was not IMO), and the Black Crusade. From there we have some PC game flavour.

I do not think it is necessary to stick with established dogma. It is a large universe and the World Eaters would have various engagements (whether as a legion or as warbands)

World Eaters vs. Exodites


Ok, this one is from left field. Do we have a list for exodites?

I first thought of the squats as it would be the classic battle of Blitzkrieg and extreme close quarter fighting, against the stalwart defence of the squats and their big guns.

C.Marine vs C.Marine is pretty ho-hum at the moment for me. There is just no imagination there to keep my interest.  Individual lists are fine, the interactions not so much.

Imp guard variations are being done to death, and I am not sure about Tyranids. Seems a waste to come up against a force for no real gain (afterall, the skulls of the nids are surely not as treasured as those of humanoid intelligence).

no idea at the moment. Too many other projects grabbing my interest...   :upside:

Was GlynG going to do an exodite supplement at some point?

Hey Frogbear, how about a true Skalathrax supplement - World Eaters (yours) versus World Eaters (mine)  :laugh:  :laugh:

So you admit yours are a weak Slaaneshi rock band?   :laugh:

In all seriousness however, it would take alot of work, and it would need another Mosc to take the lead.

Like I said, I am a great support person, but a child, a full time job, and 2+ hobbies will keep me from getting such a piece of work off the ground this year at least.

I agree. World Eaters will have fought in at least of battles down the millennia, not need to stick to one mentioned and better not to so as to have freedom to do it as you like.

I'm working on that myself, it's my own pet project  :smile:  

I have a part written Exodite list (and large heavily converted army to go with it), but I want to get back into playing/playtesting epic a bit more still (had a break from wargaming of 4 years or so) and using all the main different races before finalising it and posting up a first draft for developing here. I'm planning to do a supplement to go with it too: Epic: Knights, with Exodites vs Imperial Knights and a Slaaneshi Knight themed LaTD variant.

World Eaters vs Necrons or Tau sound like good opponents, though Necrons have already been done in a supplement and I think Tau are planned for one too (plus the list isn't so settled) so I guess maybe not then. Possibly one of the other eldar craftworld variant lists could make a good opponent?
