No lord of the World Eaters worth his salt walks into battle – that’s for betrayers – and the most prestigious mode of transportation among Angron’s bloodthirsty progeny is the Juggernaut. These roaring daemon-beasts are fury incarnate, covered in thick metallic armour, and enjoy nothing more than thundering about the battlefield engaging in some good old-fashioned trampling fun.
That the champion clinging onto their back can get a few swings in too is an added bonus for all involved – Khorne most of all.
It’s been said that the World Eaters have a bit of a one-track mind,* but that doesn’t mean the Lord’s excellent new model is barren of choices. First and foremost, you can build the entire thing as the vicious Lord Invocatus – one of Angron’s most ambitious war-leaders.
You’ll also get plenty of pieces to customise your own headtaker-in-chief, including a choice of two different exalted chainblades, and two heads each for the Lord and his sanguinary steed. Though you could just decide to pinch the awesome chainsword-horn from Lord Invocatus’ mount Khal'guruth, instead…
If that looks like a package you’d like to sink your teeth into,** you’ll be glad to know that the whole kit comes as part of the upcoming Combat Patrol: World Eaters. This bundle of murderous fun is the perfect way to start a new World Eaters army, filled with nothing but brand-new kits and more chain weapons than you could shake a pathetic, chainless stick at (roughly 45).
This box epitomises the massed frontal assaults the World Eaters love so much, packing in a whopping 20 Khorne Berserkers alongside 10 Jakhals – the only mortal cultists who could possibly keep up with their betters’ kill count – all led by a World Eaters Lord on Juggernaut.
While Chaos Space Marines are limited to a single Chaos Lord per Detachment, the World Eaters aren’t subject to such petty jealousy. They can field as many beast-bound Lords as their HQ slots allow, meaning you can muster the complete contents of two Combat Patrols – all without needing to spend any Command points on the new Heroic Support Stratagem.
Combat Patrol: World Eaters will be coming to pre-orders in just a few weeks, so prepare ahead of time by grabbing some Khorne Red and Blood for the Blood God – or just spray everything with some Mephiston Red to save time. There’ll be more to see from the new codex coming soon, so sign up for our newsletter to ensure you won’t miss a single dripping morsel.
* Spoiler alert – that track is bloodshed.
** It probably tastes like rare beef.
