Has anybody done the math on component pricing for the Chaos sprue? It's probably the only production sprue with a lot of high value parts on it. Might they be worth to purchase, split and sell separately on Ebay. I think I saw somebody do this a few years ago when the sprue was released.
A british guy does it every so often. Chaos Terminators and Berserkers make the money for him it appears.

On a different topic, how many WE/Berzerler stands would you consider necessary for a decent 3k WE force?
The real questions are do they have to be berserker minis and how many to a base? You have to remember that in the list, Khorne Berserkers and World Eater Legionaires are seperate units and therefore you can cut your requirements for 'berserker' minis down to half if you model them differently - I use berserkers for both, purely because I can with the minis I have...
In any event, for a 3K list, I generally have 2 formations of Bersekers (16 stands), and then I have my Chosen (2x formations), and then go from there. So your 16 stands are fine IMO, and if you model Khorne Berserkers and WoE Legionairres as different units, you potentially have 4 formations worth!! Drop that on an enemy deployment and start counting up the casualties

I already have a decent sized Khorne Black Legion and LatD contingent so I think I could probably puzzle together a dedicated WE force if not for lack of Berzerkers. I think I can scrape together 16 Berzerker stands (with Rhinos for all), 8 Biker, 6 Terminators, 8 Juggers, 2 Defiler/Slaughterfiends, 1-2 of each of the Daemon Engines, a Lord of Battle, 2 Greater Brass Scorpions and 4 Blood Slaughterer. How many more Berzerker stands would I need in my opinion?
The above is fine. If you intend on using Chosen as I do, you may consider 2 more defilers/slaughterfiends (you will need two more as a minimum anyway if you want a defiler formation), and make sure you can get a hold of 4 Doom Blasters and/or 4 Cannons of Khorne as these are awesome units. If they are too expensive or hard to find, start scratch building. They are extremely useful for a World Eaters force.
I really like Blood Slaughterers however I really have trouble fitting them into a list due to overall costs. Bikers, Terminators and Juggers are all in good numbers. I am not a big fan of the Brass Scorpion stats, however 2 is better than one if you were to ever use them.
Hope this helps
Cheers.....
