1501 List for World Eaters (only) - Thoughts?

#1  Postby Chunky_Baby » Wed Aug 09, 2006 7:55 am

I have done VERY well with the list below so far - I have never submitted one of my lists for approval before, so go easy on me. I have tried numerous things with Daemons, Bikes, Possessed and all sorts - none have done as well as the list below. Bear in mind it's World Eaters pure for fluff and personal reasons. I DO have Undivided, and they have their place - but they ARE girls.

Simply for numbers - and quality as well is the reason behind this list. Hopefully it will make sense in terms of the tactics - the Preds act as Anti Armour Fire Support and mobile "Objective Takers" in "those" type of games.

The Dread and the Prince are hard to take out - but if you concentrate on them you end up with 32 Beserkers hitting you with at least one of them per squad able to take out a Raider. If the Dread and/or the Prince hit you - uh oh.

Counter Assault over Furious Charge as it's proved handy time and time again as a smaller squad (Marine Jump Troops) hit me first trying to take a few out - and then I sucker them with all 16 able to attack.

Man that is an upgrade heavy list. I bet you could cut down on some of the champ upgrades and add in a 3rd full squad in there Chunky. But hey, if it works, why rock the boat?

The one that is key is the PF, +1 Str and Extra attack - mainly as a vehicle stopper as I'm fed up with squads of Beserkers banging their heads on vehicles that they can't hurt...With this - I have a very good chance of taking out even a Raider.

I guess I could lose the Aura, Visage and Feel no pain.

The counter attack is again - part of the tactics. I find that I'm often charging at the enemy (I tend to play fluffy) even if it means I will be assaulted back before I get the charge.

The Counter Assault means I can get all 16 guys into support - which against an average 10 man squad is going to kill them...

Even Ork mobs would be hard pushed to survive - although I will take casualties from the Choppers.
