Although, for the Twelfth Legion, this was both a relatively minor and massively damning alteration at one and the same time. In dieser Zeit errangen sie Anerkennung für ihre deutlichen Siegen und die immensen Verluste, die sie ihren Feinden beibrachten. A position in the Devourers could only be achieved by the slaying of one in ritualised combat, or - if one died in battle - by an organised competition open to any in the legion. They will answer some weird things in the meta and maybe help bring back a Beta Strike style list and put some of the Marine armies on their butts. So shall you be, then, little brothers. World Eaters Tactics are used for a 2,000 point list expanding on our Beginners' Guide to include a Soulforge Pack as well as a mixed Khorne Army. After the catastrophic Battle of Skalathrax, they were scattered into disparate warbands, and have rarely fought as a unified Legion since.[14b]. When it became clear that Angron was a lost cause and did not understand that his own failure to lead resulted in him becoming entrapped, Russ ordered a withdrawal. Eventually, attempts were made to remove the Nails from the Librarians, but all such operations proved fatal. For a bodyguard unit to a personage such as Angron was essentially absurd, especially a bodyguard unit made up of the most dedicated killers in a legion like the World Eaters. The planets upon which the World Eaters fell were not merely crushed - they were destroyed utterly. Anyone have any ideas to make a competitive list, I have not had the most success with my world eaters, but at least Khorne cares not from whom the blood flows, so long that it flows. When Angron emerged, ready and willing to assume command of his legion, Khârn introduced him to his officers with the phrase "Salute the one whose soldiers were named the Eaters of Cities". The Emperor is assembling a carnival of monsters for his amusement, although I doubt whoever he unleashes them upon will see the jest.-Reportedly the Primarch Sanguinius, upon reviewing the muster rolls of the 13th Expeditionary Fleet[15c], The young Angron survived his capture, and his first bouts in the gladiator pits. These demons were thought to be fallen Maiar or Spirits of Arda, embodying the decline of the world. In some sense, their embrace of the destructive brain surgery could be said to have been spiritual.

Already known for their peerless martial savagery - thanks in part to the effects of the psycho-surgical implants known as the Butcher's Nails that most of their members possessed - the World Eaters would eventually devolve into a legion of blood-crazed maniacs dedicated to the Chaos God Khorne, glorying in violence and slaughter and with no other purpose than spilling blood and taking skulls in the name of their god. Like most Space Marine Legions, the combat disposition of the legion altered upon the discovery of their Primarch. A side-effect of these devices would soon become apparent; they robbed the wearer of peace, satisfaction or joy except when stimulated in battle. Even before their fall to Chaos the War Hounds were known to favour close assaults, and this doctrine only grew more pronounced under the command of Angron and the transition into the World Eaters. Lost in an apparently inconsolable rage over what had just happened to him, Angron brutally murdered every legion officer of the War Hounds who attempted to speak to him, starting with their Legion Master, Gheer. Each warrior who passed the new tests wore scars aplenty to show it. One of the officers, Captain Dreagher, issued a response that would result in an momentous occurrence. Their Primarch is Angron, sometimes known as the The Lord of the Red Sands[15c] or the Red Angel. World Eaters Army Hey once again, I'm back with another little post to show off something I finished up not so long ago. Die XII. Indeed, past a certain point in training, gladiatorial fights could be sanctioned up to the death. Follow us on World-eaters (Q. World Eaters 2000 - posted in Chaos Army Lists: well guys, World eaters list with an auxiliry Bloodthirster just bc i love the model. Daedalus was a disgraced Techmarine who forged several deamon engines. The unique visual design elements of the Legion would not come into existence until later editions. I am free now. [15a], Bodt was ultimately destroyed during the Horus Heresy; a mixed Imperial strike force led by Autek Mor of the Iron Hands succeeded in crashing Bodt's lone moon into the world, causing a total extermination event that slew all those upon the surface. I panned to cover the most of the entries purposed in this first Army list and especialy those abandonned in the moderne Chaos Space Marive Army list. [19a], The standard tactics of the War Hounds, and especially the World Eaters, typically resulted in high casualty levels for the legion. Exactly what Lorgar meant by this would not become clear until some short time later. To Angron's shock, the final phase of Lorgar's ritual had to be carried out upon Nuceria. Note: This particular armour is older Legion issue, with modified helm (brazen colouration denoting veteran status). Learning that the legend of him told on the world portrayed him as a coward who abandoned his army to be slaughtered, Angron issued a simple order to the field commanders of the World Eaters and Word Bearers legions: Kill everything and everyone upon the planet. Today’s article is all about World Eaters Tactics. The effect of the Butcher's Nails is also said to reinforce the World Eater's devotions to their patron, as slaying in his name is said to grant them an experience of unholy joy. War Hounds (and World Eaters) officers were not promoted on seniority, or on merit not earned in direct combat. Additionally, War Hounds reserves would be sent in to provide a killing edge to various Imperial Army formations in troublesome war-zones. However early on the process proved fatal to any Marine who dared try to endure the process. While this cannot be confirmed with certainty, early records of the Legion do note that it was considered a highly aggressive, hot-blooded, and savage force. The episode created a crisis within the Legion that saw Mago lead a revolt when Apothecary Gahlan Surlak announced that he had finally perfected a method for mass production of the Butcher's Nails within the Legion. The original colouration of the World Eaters being white and blue dates back as far as Slaves to Darkness[19a], though it was not seen in artwork or models until more recent times. The legion, already disobeying the Emperor's orders where the aggression engines were concerned, never followed the Edict of Nikea, and allowed their Librarians to remain active as psykers. He further ordered the World Eaters out of the main line of the Great Crusade, sending them to the northern fringes of known space to combat xenos instead of human foes. The Great Crusade having begun, most of the Space Marine Legions had already been assigned to Expedition Fleets and sent out into the wider galaxy. As the Crusade wore on and the various Legions grew in size to the point where they no longer needed a standing reserve reinforcement force, the scattered units of War Hounds were consolidated into the 13th Fleet, upon the legion muster-world of Bodt. Once the Great Crusade kicked off, they became expert shock troops known t… The game was released February 15, 2007 in Japan and September 25, 2007 in the U.S., not to be confused with the 1999 video game Omikron: The Nomad Soul. [16i], The huge emphasis on personal combat was present inside the legion as well as on the battlefield. They refused all summons by Horus to muster at Ullanor in preparation for the drive on Terra. [16e], Following Angron's transformation, the World Eaters went on to rampage world after world in mindless slaughter. Thus, he had created a second purpose of the ritual necessary to finalise the warp storm's creation, one that would ensure Angron's effective immortality. Their legend for brutality became so strong that more than once non-compliant worlds would surrender at the threat of the World Eaters being unleashed upon them. All ranks were expected to be effective in close-range combat, even specialists. While the true reasons for this withdrawal from the front-lines are unknown, one suggested reason was that they were simply kept off the board in case a sudden mishap in the Imperial campaigns resulted in a need for swift, fresh reinforcement. Enemies who had proven unworthy - cowards - were to be butchered. They invaded the Hive World of Armageddon in 444.M41, in a lesser kno… [16a], One aspect lacking in the legion's Order of Battle was an effective Librarius. Durant la Bataill… After Centurion Mago refused to comply with decimation after the Ghenna Massacre, Angron was thrown into a bloody frenzy and massacred several World Eaters before being subdued by his own Librarians. This page was last edited on 28 August 2020, at 14:14. It was said that a War Hounds deployment had only two outcomes; glorious, victorious slaughter...or just slaughter. His censure was halted by Khârn and a core of bezerkers. [25] Indeed, the World Eaters seemed to focus on the Raven Guard as their targets even after the battle had been settled in the favour of the traitors. Lorgar claimed that his abilities had allowed him to discern that the Nails were slowly killing Angron and destroying his mind. You can help Lexicanum by fixing it. His rebel force was eventually pursued into the mountains by no less than five armies, each outnumbering his own ten times or more. Initially thought of as a folly by his new masters, his unexpected prowess in the pits made them see him in a new light. :rolleyes: Here is my list. It's time for me to work again for the Chaos power, in this new project I focus on the Khorne legions of the World Eaters as describ in the Slave to Darkness book. You definitely still need to be able to kill targets at range, maybe to pop some juicy infantry out of a tincan, so Obliterators are certainly solid for that. Come with me, then, World Eaters.-Captain Dreagher of the War Hounds legion and Angron, their Primarch[6], After Angron assumed command of his newly-rechristened legion, they once again mustered upon the world of Bodt, where Angron took stock of his forces. [15d], As the hour of the Horus Heresy grew near, Horus had little problem with corrupting the bitter and unhappy Angron. [15b], As the Great Crusade progressed, the XIIth Legion was split in a number of independent commands, each many thousands of Space Marines strong. The principal concentration of War Hounds astartes (around 8,000 Legionaries) had been grouped into the 13th Expeditionary Fleet, alongside dedicated support and naval elements. [16h], After a certain point, almost every legionary would undergo the voluntary implantation of the Butcher's Nails, the psycho-surgical implants that heightened aggression and pain tolerance to extreme levels. [31a] Angron proved disgusted with his "weak" sons, and managed to flee to a Feral World for two whole years before Kharn found him and convinced him to rejoin the Legion. A being as powerful as Angron barely needed a bodyguard, and even if he did, when the Nails bit, the Devourers could hardly be trusted to remain near their primarch, or he near them. Eventually, the 8th Captain - Khârn - was able to both survive his meeting with Angron, and in fact even forge a tenuous bond with him. About 112,000 are reckoned to have been with Angron when he joined the Warmaster's fleet at Istvaan III, and of these, possibly as many as 37,000 were committed to the first wave and subsequently betrayed unto their deaths. In this regard, the World Eaters had an easy means to offset losses and in fact ensure they had high supplies of arms and ammunition; the Forge World (of a sort) of Sarum considered itself an ally to the legion, and would dedicate a high portion of its output to servicing the legion forges and quartermasters. Notionally, the most elite formation in the legion was the Devourers, the twelve-strong bodyguard group to Angron himself. Tag: world-eaters Home / Tag: World Eaters Sep 02 6 August season meta report August ends, and so does its ranked season. Bodt was seized by the legion during their early days, an… [24], Angron and his second wave of World Eaters spent most of the battle combating and wiping out the World Eaters of the first wave, but were marshalled and brought in for the kill of the last loyalist bastion, after its walls were breached by Titan assault. I stand against the Emperor. Alongside the Space Wolves their warriors are some of the deadliest close combat fighters in the galaxy, amongst whom are counted large numbers of the infamous Khorne Berserkers. Thus, the remaining psychic warriors of the legion refused implantation in order to continue to serve. A sizeable grouping of World Eaters was attached to the forces deployed to crush the rebellion, and like all the other victorious warriors, they were betrayed by their fellows in orbit.
