The Devourers of Terra

World Eaters

Blood for the Blood God!

Once the Emperor's finest close-quarters legion, the World Eaters were driven mad by the Butcher's Nails, cranial implants that flooded their minds with rage until nothing of Angron's sons remained but the killing instinct. Now they are Khorne's favoured host, an avalanche of chainaxes and bare fury that cares nothing for tactics, objectives, or survival — only for the ecstasy of slaughter. Entire regiments have been known to turn on each other when no enemy remains, for the Nails do not stop screaming simply because the foe has died.

Army Rule

Blood for the Blood God

Each time a WORLD EATERS unit destroys an enemy unit in the Fight phase, gain 1 Blood Tithe point (max 6 in a turn). Spend accumulated Blood Tithe points on powerful one-use effects such as granting units Lethal Hits, extra Attacks, or Fights First for the rest of the battle.

Rules digest

How This Force Plays

Our own plain-speech digest of how this force's rules hang together — army rule, detachment choice, command-point economy and roster shape. Written by us, not reproduced from the pack; the official PDF is the only authority on exact wording.

Read the official pack PDF

How the army rule shapes play

Every list in this force answers to Blood for the Blood God, so plan your turns around it rather than treating it as a bonus. There is no secondary doctrine to pick, which keeps the force predictable to learn and unforgiving to misplay. Exact wording lives in the official pack PDF; the summary here is ours.

Choosing a detachment

You commit to one of 3 detachments (Brazen Engines, Butchers of Khorne, Vessels of Wrath), and that choice locks in both your detachment rule and the 6 enhancements available to your characters. Pick the detachment that matches the units you already own, then buy enhancements last.

Command points and stratagems

There are 9 stratagems on offer, costing between 1 and 2 CP. In a normal game you will bank enough for two or three interventions a turn at most, so decide before deployment which one or two plays you are saving command points for.

Building to a points limit

The roster runs to 24 datasheets. The cheapest entry comes in at 65 points and the most expensive at 505, so a single flagship choice can eat a fifth of a 2,000-point army. Use the list builder to keep the Rule of Three, character limits and your points ceiling honest as you add units.
