Warhammer 40K Rumors: World Eaters Rules Latest
There’s a new set of World Eaters rumors doing the rounds. Take a look.
This has been a very busy rumor season these last few months. Coming right on the heels of the big World Eaters Minis seminar from GW, and the earlier page of unit listings, we have a new set of text-only rumors. There are no images at all on these, so take them with a grain of salt. Still, based on the GW minis reveal, it looks like the last image of World Eater unit points was accurate. Let’s get started:
Rumors via Bolter & Chainsword’s Khornestar (cleaned up for readability)
World Eaters Traits
+1 Attack on Charge/charged/HI
+1 Strength on Charge/Charged/HI (May end up being diffrent)
WE Armywide Mechanic: Bloodtithe
Two current rumors:
Rumor 1 is you get a point for each unit destroyed and +1 bonus point for a vehicle/Monster the first time each turn and +1 for Titanic. So you could get up to 3 points if something like Angron was destroyed.
Rumor 2. Works similar to CK favors of the dark gods. Keep a Tally of total wound dealt by models destroyed (I.E. Ork Boyz give 1 point when killed, Custodes troops 3, etc)

Some AoR Stratagems

If an opponent kills in 8bound in their shooting phase, but does not destroy the entire unit you can move it 9″ (May have ended up being D6 instead)

BAD News:
Only 1 Relic/WLT. No Stratagems for extra

Have at it, and remember, caveat emptor.
