#berzerkers

World Eaters, pre heresy colour scheme test.

Here we fucken go! I’m painting 10 Berzerkers and a Land Raider. Decided to use Tamaya metallic blue for it, and corax white, let’s see what this teaches me

I built two armies for it (one of which uses the slaughter lord). I know I am up against Necrons but that is about it. My main goal is to use the Necrons Phase Out rule, wherein I wipe out 75% of the models in their army, causing the remaining ones to leave the battlefield.

The Khorne Force uses two squads berserkers mounted in Rhinos to move towards the enemy quickly. The Lord has terminator armour, the berserker glaive, Mark of Khorne, daemonic strength, resilience, essence and mutation to give him 9 attacks, 10 on the charge. The squads will get around 30 attacks on the charge too. The predator is there mainly to be a little distraction carnifex, it has parasitic possession so weapons lost and immobilised results can be repaired on a 4+. The Rhinos are there just to get the berserkers moving quickly across the battlefield, once they are out, the Rhinos will tank shock or ram anything they can. Oh yeah, one of the squads has chainaxes, so the armour save can only ever be as good as 4+ against them.

The Iron Warriors force is a little different, there are two large squads of 15, all with just bolters. This should have sufficient firepower to drop a load of necrons, or finish off anything that the basilisk fires at. The Lord has terminator armour, combi-bolter, a chain fist, daemonic strength, resilience, essence, mutation and rune (this final one stops him from being instant deathed), so he could in theory take out a monolith, but he is there to punch up anything that assaults the gun line.
