World Eaters
The World Eaters hurl themselves into battle with psychotic fury. They feel neither fear nor mercy, nor anything save the pounding crimson rage that propels them across the battlefield. Chainaxes roaring, the World Eaters rip the heart from the enemy with the unstoppable ferocity of their assault, bellowing oaths to the Blood God as they paint themselves in jetting gore.

Berzerker Warband
Comprised of insane transhuman fanatics, monstrous possessed and other horrific killers, World Eaters warbands confront their foes head-on, relying predominantly upon aggression to turn the tide of battle in their favour; this is not to say that they are devoid of tactical and strategic acumen, however. As screaming hordes of Khorne Berzerkers crash into the enemy, armoured vehicles, Daemon Engines and mortal cultists follow the assault, moving swiftly to outflank and envelop foes or seizing key battlefield positions to repel desperate counterattacks. Whether breaking a siege, defending the site of a twisted ritual or simply seeking to annihilate a chosen enemy, World Eater’s warbands are more than capable of adapting their battle plans to the task at hand, so long as blood is spilt and skulls claimed in the name of the Blood God.
Relentless Rage
The World Eaters fight in a perpetual fury, driven ever onward to slaughter all who stand in their path. All of their warriors have been subject to horrific surgery, implanted with crude devices that amplify their aggression. Some even submit to possession by the Blood God’s daemonic servants. These warriors will only stop killing when every foe lies in bloody ruin at their feet - and sometimes not even then.
Each time a WORLD EATERS unit from your army makes a Charge move, until the end of the turn, add 1 to the Attacks characteristic and add 2 to the Strength characteristic of melee weapons equipped by models in that unit.Enhancements

Cult of Blood
Such is the murderous reputation of the World Eaters that countless followers of Khorne are drawn into their orbit. These cultists, augmented by agonising surgeries and possessed by an insatiable desire to kill, howl praise to Khorne as they advance in huge numbers. They are most frenzied and zealous when following to battle the largest and most imposing of the World Eaters’ hellforged war machines. In the presence of titanic gore-encrusted engines of destruction, mortal cultists revel in glorious slaughter, hurling themselves against gun lines and into the meat grinder of melee combat with reckless and ecstatic abandon. Beneath the crushing weight of such numbers and faced with the terrifying presence of the World Eaters’ titanic engines of destruction, the enemy quail and flee or are swept aside in a tempest of horrific bloodshed.
Idols of Khorne
Titanic Khornate war engines draw teeming masses of cultists to war.

Khorne Daemonkin
When blood is spilt in floods, and the skulls of the World Eaters’ foes are piled high, the barrier between reality and the Warp collapses. From the roiling depths of the Immaterium, Khorne’s infernal legions thunder forth. Horned monstrosities adorned with burnished brass and grisly trophies, these empyric entities know only warfare and carnage. To many World Eaters, there is no greater honour than to fight at the side of such beings. When the blood legions go to battle, they do so in teeming ranks, Bloodletters surging from rent and rift with warp-metal blades and gore-encrusted banners held aloft. The most blessed of World Eaters champions thunder into the fray astride their Juggernaut mounts, daemonic cavalry forming wedges in their wake. Khorne Berzerkers rush into battle alongside packs of Flesh Hounds or in the shadow of colossal Bloodthirsters. As the blood flows, the daemons grow stronger, the force of their onslaught gathering pace and leaving behind them a charnel pit of butchered corpses.
Blood Tithe

Each time a BLOOD LEGIONS or WORLD EATERS unit from your army destroys an enemy unit, roll one D6: on a 3+, you gain 1 Blood Tithe point (BTP).

Possessed Slaughterband
Many are the World Eaters warbands who count possessed among their ranks. These warriors, including the Eightbound, are terrifying instruments of destruction and wanton slaughter. Whether advancing on foot through hails of incoming fire or traversing the Warp to emerge amid the enemy lines, the enthralled warriors are deployed as living weapons of destruction to break through the most heavily defended positions, to shatter armour formations or to slaughter the foe’s elite units before they can be brought to bear. To this end, the possessed rely upon daemonic resilience and strength, their altered forms turning aside incoming fire and their monstrous might enabling them to sweep aside any enemies unfortunate enough to stand in their path.
Brazen Fury
Incoming fire serves only to fan the flames of daemonic fury, driving Khorne’s possessed into a malicious rage.
WORLD EATERS POSSESSED units from your army have the following ability:Brazen Fury: In your opponent’s Shooting phase, when an enemy unit has shot, if a model in this unit was destroyed as a result of those attacks, this unit can make a surge move of up to D6". That surge move is a Brazen Fury move.

Twin hearts pump molten rage through bulging veins and arteries, daemonic possessor lending its mutated host unnatural speed and endurance. SLAUGHTERBOUND model only. Each time the bearer’s unit makes a Brazen Fury move, it is treated as having rolled a 6 for the distance the unit can be moved. |
The ecstatic release of extreme violence provides momentary clarity to even the most frenzied of minds. WORLD EATERS DAEMON model only. Each time the bearer’s unit destroys an enemy unit, roll one D6: on a 4+, you gain 1CP. |
This daemon channels its blazing fury with violent precision, its blows as accurate as they are devastating. WORLD EATERS DAEMON model only. Each time a model in the bearer’s unit makes an attack, a Critical Hit is scored on an unmodified Hit roll of 5+, instead of only a 6. |
Upon this daemon’s death, pent-up rage and empyric energies are released in a howling maelstrom of killing force from which there is no escape. WORLD EATERS DAEMON model only. The bearer’s Deadly Demise ability inflicts mortal wounds on a D6 roll of 2+ instead of on a 6. In addition, the bearer has the Deadly Demise D3+1 ability, instead of the Deadly Demise D3 ability. |

TARGET: One WORLD EATERS POSSESSED unit from your army.
EFFECT: Each enemy unit within Engagement Range of your unit must take a Battle-shock test, subtracting 1 from that test.
Goretrack Onslaught
Many World Eaters warbands use armoured vehicles to press home their brutal assaults. Land Raiders and Rhino transports grind relentlessly forward, their engines growling like hungry beasts as they crash into enemy infantry, guns blazing wildly as spiked prows gore bodies and armoured tracks mangle unfortunate prey. Having ploughed deep into the enemy formation, assault ramps and doors drop to release waves of Khorne Berzerkers, hulking Eightbound and veteran warriors clad in gore-encrusted Terminator armour. Stunned enemies reel as the assault gathers pace, chainaxes and bolt pistols reaping a terrible tally. The advance is unrelenting and without pity, smashing through obstacles and defences with frightening ease. When the foe lies broken and scattered, the surviving World Eaters mount up again and rumble towards their next target, leaving only carrion in their wake.
Rush to the Fray
The World Eaters use their vehicles to drive into the heart of the enemy before piling out of their transports and hurling themselves into the fighting.
Each time a WORLD EATERS unit from your army disembarks from a TRANSPORT, until the end of the turn, add 1 to Charge rolls made for that unit and that unit’s melee weapons have the [lance] ability.Enhancements

While a unit is suppressed, each time a model in that unit makes an attack, subtract 1 from the Hit roll. |

CRUSADE BADGES
Here you will find three Crusade Badges representing goals you can set yourself when campaigning with your Crusade force. Once one is achieved, you could set yourself a new goal, or take the opportunity to start a new Crusade force.
When mustering your Crusade army, if you are using the Khorne Daemonkin Detachment, you will be able to include BLOOD LEGIONS units from your Crusade force in your Crusade army. BLOOD LEGIONS units can never gain Experience points or Battle Honours. However, they automatically pass any Out of Action tests they are required to take, so never gain Battle Scars. You can mark the Experience points section of such units’ Crusade cards with ‘N/A’ to remind you.
The Skull Harvest
The World Eaters are exemplars of bloody fury. Slaying all before them, they take the skulls of those they have butchered to offer up before their bloodthirsty god, hoping their offering will be judged worthy, and that they will be rewarded for their holy slaughter with mighty gifts.
- That enemy unit has one or more of the following keywords: CHARACTER; MONSTER; WALKER.
- That enemy unit is a WARLORD.
- That enemy unit is TITANIC.
Legendary Skulls
Enemy EPIC HERO units, and enemy units with the Legendary rank, do not award your units with normal Skull points. Instead, each time such a unit is destroyed by a melee attack made by a World Eaters unit from your army, that unit gains 1 Legendary Skull point.World Eaters Attached Units
Each time an Attached unit from your Crusade army gains a Skull point or a Legendary Skull point, you must decide whether the Leader unit or the Bodyguard unit gains that point.World Eaters Epic Heroes
You do not need to track Skull points and Legendary Skull points earned by your WORLD EATERS EPIC HEROES - whilst every kill that these legendary warriors make is added to the mountain of offerings already heaped before the Skull Throne, Khorne judges their worthiness by other standards. As such, feel free to track the points earned by your EPIC HEROES for bragging rights, but they have no other effect on your Crusade force.You can use the Skull Harvest tracker to keep a tally of the Skull points and Legendary Skull points earned by your units, or make a note on that unit’s Crusade card. Unless otherwise stated, a unit cannot gain more than 5 Skull points during a battle (there is no limit to the number of Legendary Skull points a unit can gain during a battle). Below, Skull points are presented as shown here.  Below, Legendary Skull points are presented as shown here. | ||
Judgement of the Blood God
Only the greatest champions of the Blood God are granted his personal attention. In bloody rituals, warriors place their collected skulls before great brass icons and beseech Khorne to bless them with his favour.
| ||||||||||||
Greater Rewards of Khorne
Greater Rewards of Khorne are a different type of Battle Honour; each is unique and you can only have one instance of each. If a result is rolled that a unit from your Crusade force already has, roll again until a Greater Reward is rolled that no unit from your Crusade force has. When gaining one of these Battle Honours, if that unit already has their maximum number of Battle Honours, you must replace one of their existing non-Greater Rewards of Khorne Battle Honours.If a unit with a Greater Reward of Khorne is on the battlefield when you make a Blessings of Khorne roll, you have access to the associated Blessing of Khorne described by that unit’s Greater Reward, which you can activate just like any other Blessing of Khorne (note that the associated Blessing of Khorne, when activated, applies to all units from your army with the Blessings of Khorne ability, not just the unit with the Battle Honour).
A New Harvest
After a unit has made an offering to Khorne (regardless of the result), that unit’s Skull points and Legendary Skull points total are reset to 0.Lesser Rewards of Khorne
Blessed with murderous insights from centuries of warfare, these warriors use such lessons to honour Khorne further.
Khorne warps the flesh and bone of his faithful, turning them into twisted, monstrous killers worthy of fighting in his name.
Only a handful of the Blood God's devotees are truly marked for greatness, those who have harvested the greatest number of gory trophies in his name.
Greater Rewards of Khorne
To the World Eaters, there are no foes more reviled than cowards. They strive to cut down any who would seek to deny the Blood God his due by fleeing combat.
The gore spilled by the World Eaters bubbles and boils. Those foes who breathe in its hissing steam are driven into a frenzy, throwing themselves at the Blood God's chosen in a mindless rage, leaving themselves open to the World Eaters' assault.
Khorne blesses his warriors with the aspect of his most terrifying daemons, rendering their forms nightmarish to behold.
As Khorne's blessed warriors raise their blades, conscious thought is replaced by savage instinct as they enter an insensate killing trance.
The Blood God lends his warriors unnatural speed, their sinews straining as they bound towards the foe.
Empowered by gore-drenched visions, Khorne's champions rain down furious blows on their foes, their mighty sweeps cleaving through armour, bone and flesh with ease.
Agendas
If your Crusade army includes any WORLD EATERS units, you can select Agendas from those presented here.
Khorne demands blood! Slaughter all before you and show not one sign of cowardice lest you invite the Blood God’s eternal wrath.
Seek out the enemy’s mightiest champions, cut them down and offer their skulls to Khorne!
The World Eaters seek to drown entire worlds in blood, killing across the breadth of the battlefield and soaking the soil in crimson. In this way, they give the Blood God his due.
- At the end of the battle, if three battlefield quarters (but not four) have been drowned in blood by your army, each WORLD EATERS unit from your army that has not been destroyed gains 2XP.
- At the end of the battle, if all four battlefield quarters have been drowned in blood by your army, each WORLD EATERS unit from your army that has not been destroyed gains 3XP and each unit from your Crusade army that makes an offering to Khorne after this battle can add 1 to the result of their Judgement roll.
The World Eaters despoil their enemies’ sacred places, hewing off heads, flaying captives and piling these gruesome trophies high to venerate the Blood God.
At the start of your Shooting phase, select one WORLD EATERS unit from your Crusade army (excluding Battle-shocked units) that is eligible to shoot and is within range of one or more unexalted Veneration Sites; that unit can attempt to exalt one of those unexalted Veneration Sites. If attempted, until the end of your turn, that unit is not eligible to shoot or declare a charge. At the end of the turn, if that unit is within range of that Veneration Site and you control it, that Veneration Site is exalted and that unit gains 2XP.
At the end of the battle, if your army has exalted 3 or more Veneration Sites, you can purchase one of the World Eaters Requisitions after the battle once for 0RP.
Requisitions
If your Crusade army includes any WORLD EATERS units, you can spend Requisition points (RP) on any of the following Requisitions.
Glory is earned through bloodshed alone. World Eaters warriors see no shame in striking down their allies and claiming their trophies for themselves.
- If the Aggressor’s roll is greater, the Defender loses all of its Skull points and Legendary Skull points, and it gains a Battle Scar. The Aggressor gains a number of Skull points and Legendary Skull points equal to the number the Defender lost of each, and must immediately make an offering to Khorne.
- If the Defender’s roll is greater, the Aggressor loses all of its Skull points and Legendary Skull points, and it suffers a Devastating Blow. The Defender gains 3XP.
While lesser warriors may seek to conceal their battle scars, the World Eaters bear them with pride, for each wound carries a gore-drenched tale.
The path to immortality is treacherous indeed. Should an ambitious mortal fail to meet Khorne’s expectations, they may end their days as a mindless Chaos Spawn.
The ultimate prize for those dedicated to Khorne is to ascend to the immortal ranks of daemonhood. These blessed few ally their newfound infernal might with centuries of combat experience.
The new unit can keep any Boons of Khorne the unit it replaced had, even though DAEMON models cannot normally have Boons of Khorne. Any Battle Scars the replaced unit had are not retained. The new unit has the same number of Battle Honours, XP, Skull points and Legendary Skull points as the unit it replaced. You cannot purchase this Requisition if doing so would cause you to exceed your Crusade force’s Supply Limit.
To enter the eightcage is to invite a horrific demise. Yet, the rewards are well worth the price for those who possess the willpower and fury to survive such a process.
- Select one KHORNE BERZERKERS or WORLD EATERS TERMINATOR SQUAD unit from your Crusade force. Remove that unit from your Crusade force and add either one EIGHTBOUND unit or one EXALTED EIGHTBOUND unit to your Crusade force.
- Select one WORLD EATERS CHARACTER unit (excluding DAEMON units) from your Crusade force. Remove that unit from your Crusade force and add one SLAUGHTERBOUND unit to your Crusade force.
Boons of Khorne
Boons of Khorne are a type of Battle Honour that can be given to WORLD EATERS CHARACTER models. Each time a WORLD EATERS CHARACTER model from your army would gain a Battle Honour, you can choose for it to gain a Boon of Khorne. DAEMON PRINCE models cannot gain Boons of Khorne, and no model from your Crusade force can have more than three Boons of Khorne.A model can have more than one Boon of Khorne, but if you roll a result that duplicates a Boon of Khorne a model already has, that model’s unit suffers Spawndom (see below). As with any Battle Honour, make a note on a model’s Crusade card when it gains a Boon of Khorne, and increase its Crusade points by 1.
Spawndom
To court the favour of the Blood God is to risk Khorne’s wrath. Many powerful champions have disappeared beneath an overabundance of gifts, ending their Path to Glory as mindless aberrations of insane mutation. These mindless beasts are then herded together with other unfortunate Spawn and goaded towards the enemy to spill blood in their dark masters name.
If a WORLD EATERS model from your Crusade force suffers Spawndom, remove that model’s unit from your Crusade force, then add a new WORLD EATERS CHAOS SPAWN unit to your Crusade force. The new unit has the same number of Battle Honours, Battle Scars, XP, Skull points and Legendary Skull points as the unit it replaced. If adding this unit would cause your Crusade points total to exceed your Crusade force’s Supply Limit, you must first increase your Supply Limit (such as by using the Increase Supply Limit Requisition) or your unit is removed from your Crusade force and no new unit is added in its place.

Crusade Relics
When a WORLD EATERS model gains a Crusade Relic, you can select one of the Relics presented here.
Artificer Relics
This simple blade features a single jagged rune carved into its rough bone hilt. When blood is spilt on this rune, the weapon can cut through the skein of reality itself.
Each time the bearer’s unit destroys one or more units in the Fight phase, if there are no enemy units within 3" of the bearer’s unit at the Consolidate step, you can choose to remove the bearer’s unit from the battlefield and place it into Strategic Reserves. If you do, until after the bearer’s unit has been set back up on the battlefield, models in the bearer’s unit have the Deep Strike.Bound within this heavy brass collar is the essence of a Bloodthirster whose hatred of sorcery knows no bounds. A psyker with the audacity to unleash eldritch power near this relic finds their mind screaming with pain.
At the start of your Shooting phase, select one enemy PSYKER unit within 18" of and visible to the bearer. That unit must take a Battle-shock test, subtracting 2 from the result. If the test is failed, that enemy unit suffers 3 mortal wounds.Almost impervious to damage, this brass-edged armour glows red hot and trails gouts of smoke.
Add 1 to the bearer’s Toughness characteristic. Each time the bearer’s unit is selected to fight, select one enemy unit within Engagement Range of this model and roll one D6: on a 2+, that enemy unit suffers D3 mortal wounds.Antiquity Relics
This brass icon constantly oozes bright-red blood, driving those World Eaters nearby into an even more ferocious killing rage.
The first Blessing of Khorne activated for your army is active for the bearer’s unit until the end of the battle instead of until the end of the battle round, and its effects will apply to the bearer’s unit in addition to any other Blessings of Khorne active during the battle. Duplicated Blessings of Khorne have no additional effect on the bearer’s unit.This brazen skull perceives any foe’s weaknesses, revealing them to the bearer in its guttural whisper.
If the bearer is in your Crusade army, then during the Select Crusade Blessings step, roll one D6 if you are not the Underdog: on a 4+, you can select one Crusade Blessing to use in that battle.Those who battle under the wearer's command know their leader is a true killer.
The bearer has the following ability:Mighty Skull Rack (Aura): While a friendly WORLD EATERS unit is within 6" of this model, each time a model in that unit makes a melee attack, if this model’s unit (excluding Bodyguard units) has 3 or more Skull points, re-roll a Hit roll of 1. While this model’s unit (excluding Bodyguard units) has 1 or more Legendary Skull points, this ability has a range of 9".
Legendary Relics
One strong enough to wield Gorefather can scythe through their enemies in explosions of blood.
The bearer's melee weapons have the [devastating wounds] ability. At the end of the Fight phase, you can select one enemy unit within Engagement Range of the bearer and roll eight D6: for each 4+, that enemy unit suffers 1 mortal wound.This weapon contains the essence of the Bloodthirster G’rmakht, contained only by the bearer’s will.
Improve the Attacks, Strength, Armour Penetration and Damage characteristics of the bearer’s melee weapons by 1. In addition, the bearer has the following ability:The Destroyer’s Wrath: The first time this model is destroyed, at the end of the phase, add one BLOODTHIRSTER model to your Crusade army (ignoring the points value for your battle size): set that BLOODTHIRSTER model up as close as possible to where the bearer was destroyed, and not within Engagement Range of one or more enemy units. Until the end of the battle, at the end of each player’s turn that BLOODTHIRSTER model suffers D6 mortal wounds. At the end of the battle, that BLOODTHIRSTER model is not added to your Crusade force.
Battle Traits
When a WORLD EATERS unit gains a Battle Trait, you can use one of the tables presented here to determine which Battle Trait that unit has gained.
The fall of an ally serves only to spur the survivors on, invigorated by the stench of freshly spilt blood.
Blessed with the Blood God’s boons, the World Eaters' possessed must take a great tally of skulls to retain them..
The possessed warriors of the Blood God find their limbs infused with infernal energy, allowing them to reach the foe and sate their desire for bloodshed swiftly.
The daemonic spirits bound within this vehicle's shell are ferociously aggressive and cannot be subjugated. They will vent their fury on any who cross their path.
The hull of this machine glows with runes of power, its armoured flanks warping back into shape after even the most catastrophic damage.
This vehicle's hull has manifested ornate sculptures of thick bronze, adding to its already formidable defenses.
Khorne's bloodied slayers have slaughtered their foes for centuries, and possess incredible martial skill alongside their berserk fury.
These warriors are bloodthirsty butchers determined to earn the Blood God's favour.
Many World Eaters seek out the greatest enemy champions, taking their skulls in the name of Khorne and piling them beneath brass icons.
In battle, the World Eaters lose themselves in a berserk rage that inures them to even the most agonising wounds and grants them unnatural resilience in the heat of battle.
Khorne's chosen rampage across the battlefield with wanton fury, butchering foes before fading away to strike new targets before the enemy can react.
Should Khorne see potential in his devotees, he may bless them with new and horrific gifts to aid them in their murderous endeavours.
Refined stimulants are combined with the blood of butchered victims and other macabre reagents to form a distillate of pure hatred.
The World Eaters are known to ritually scar their flesh with runes of dedication before battle. When their blood is spilt, it is a prepared offering to the Blood God.
While their masters watch over them, Khornate cultists fight with greater hatred and determination.
Crusade Badges
When your Crusade force accomplishes specific long-term goals, you can earn the Crusade badges shown below, representing your warriors’ successes over many battles.

Boarding Butchers
Whether attacking an enemy voidship, or counterassaulting foes unwise enough to board a World Eaters vessel, these blood-drenched slaughterers reduce their victims to headless carcasses with shocking speed. Such close confines suit these murderous berzerkers perfectly.

Slaughterers’ Glory
Though not locked in the sorts of immense and epic bloodbaths believed to best draw the eye of Khorne, still these shipboard warbands aspire to earn the Blood God’s favour.
Units from your army with the Blessings of Khorne ability retain that ability and gain this one.At the start of the battle round, when making a Blessings of Khorne roll, roll four D6 instead of eight D6. You can only activate one Blessing of Khorne per battle round, instead of up to 2.
Detachment Rule
Focused Ferocity
In the close confines of shipboard warfare, with their battle cries reverberating along corpse-strewn corridors, the charge of World Eaters is an elementally terrifying and seemingly unstoppable force.
Each time a WORLD EATERS unit from your army declares a charge, each target of that charge must take a Battle-shock test.Enhancements
Chosen of Khorne Many are the skulls this warrior has taken and offered up in the Blood God’s name, which has its rewards. Once the bearer has destroyed one or more enemy units, until the end of the battle, each time you make a Blessings of Khorne roll, if the bearer is on the battlefield, you can re-roll all of the dice (if you do, you must re-roll every dice). |
Battle Lust Foes attempting to gun this warrior down only stoke his berserk rage still higher. Each time an enemy unit is selected to shoot, after that unit has shot, if the bearer was the target of one or more of those attacks, it can make a Battle Lust move. To do so, roll one D6: the bearer can be moved a distance in inches up to the result, but must end that move as close as possible to the attacking unit. When doing so, the bearer can be moved within Engagement Range of that enemy unit, but only that enemy unit. |
Stratagems
TARGET: That WORLD EATERS unit.
EFFECT: Until the end of your opponent’s next Command phase, subtract 1 from Battle-shock and Leadership tests taken for all enemy units.
TARGET: That WORLD EATERS unit.
EFFECT: For each enemy unit within 3" of that Hatchway and wholly on the opposite side of it from your unit, until the start of your next Movement phase, that enemy unit is stunned. While a unit is stunned, each time a model in it makes an attack, subtract 1 from the Hit roll.
TARGET: One WORLD EATERS unit from your army that was selected as the target of one or more of the attacking unit’s attacks.

TARGET: One WORLD EATERS unit from your army (excluding JAKHAL units) within Engagement Range of that enemy unit.
EFFECT: Until the end of the phase, each time that enemy unit Falls Back, models in it must take Desperate Escape tests as if their unit was Battle-shocked. When doing so, if that enemy unit is also Battle-shocked by other means, subtract 1 from each of those Desperate Escape tests.
Skullsworn
The elite of the World Eaters burn with the unholy blessings of Khorne. However, such might is not given freely. Storming headlong into the close-quarters carnage of a boarding action is the ideal way in which such empowered warriors can claim the tithe of skulls they owe their Dark God.
Mustering a Boarding Patrol

- EIGHTBOUND (3 models)
- EXALTED EIGHTBOUND (3 models)

Slaughterers’ Glory
Though not locked in the sorts of immense and epic bloodbaths believed to best draw the eye of Khorne, still these shipboard warbands aspire to earn the Blood God’s favour.
Units from your army with the Blessings of Khorne ability retain that ability and gain this one.At the start of the battle round, when making a Blessings of Khorne roll, roll four D6 instead of eight D6. You can only activate one Blessing of Khorne per battle round, instead of up to 2.
Detachment Rule
Reap the Tally
Nothing, not even death, can prevent these ferocious killers from claiming the skulls that are the Blood Gods due.
Each time a WORLD EATERS model from your army (excluding KHÂRN THE BETRAYER) is destroyed by a melee attack and it has not fought this phase, roll one D6: on a 5+, do not remove it from play. The destroyed model can fight after the attacking unit has finished making its attacks, and is then removed from play.Enhancements
Frenzied So gripped is this warrior by the need to kill and kill again in Khornes name, that they never for even a moment pause in their endless hunt for fresh victims. You can re-roll Advance and Charge rolls made for the bearer, and the bearer is eligible to declare a charge in a turn in which it Advanced. |
Carmine Corona As this murderous champion butchers his foes, so a blazing crown of rage, hate and agony blazes to life about his brows. None can look upon this ghastly spectacle without their eyes bleeding and a bleak despair gripping their hearts. When the bearer destroys an enemy unit for the first time, until the end of the battle, the bearer has an Objective Control characteristic of 5. |
Stratagems
TARGET: That unit.
EFFECT: Select one objective marker that your unit or the destroyed unit was within range of at the start of the phase. That objective marker is Secured by your army.
TARGET: One WORLD EATERS unit from your army that has not been selected to fight this phase.
EFFECT: Until the end of the phase, each time a model in your unit makes a Pile-in or Consolidation move, it can move up to 6" instead of up to 3".
TARGET: One WORLD EATERS TERMINATOR, EIGHTBOUND or EXALTED EIGHTBOUND unit from your army that has not been selected to move this phase and has not declared a charge this phase.
EFFECT: Until the end of the phase, when making a Normal, Advance or Charge move, your unit can move through a single closed Hatchway as if it was open. When doing so, that Hatchway is opened and cannot be closed for the rest of the battle. This can allow that unit to declare a charge against enemy units that are not visible to it, but to do so those enemy units must be within 1" of that Hatchway and wholly on the opposite side of it from your unit.
RESTRICTIONS: You can only use this Stratagem once per turn.
TARGET: One WORLD EATERS unit from your army.
EFFECT: Until the end of the phase, each time an enemy unit is selected to fire Overwatch, it must take a Leadership test, subtracting 1 from the result: if failed, that enemy unit cannot fire Overwatch at your unit this phase.
The TRANSPORT keyword is used in the following World Eaters datasheets:
- While a friendly model is within engagement range of one or more enemy models, those models – and the units they belong to – are engaged with each other.
- While a unit contains no engaged models, that unit is unengaged.
EFFECT: Your unit moves as described in Moving (03).
BEFORE MOVING: Make an advance roll by rolling one D6.
AFTER MOVING:
- Your unit must be unengaged.
- Until the end of the turn, unless otherwise stated, your unit is not eligible to declare a charge or start an action.
EFFECT: Your unit moves as described in Moving (03).
BEFORE MOVING: Select fall-back mode:
- Ordered Retreat: If your unit is not battle-shocked, you can select this mode.
- Desperate Escape: Otherwise, you must select this mode. Make a hazard roll for each model in your unit (06.03).
- Desperate Escape: Each model that is moved can be moved through enemy models.
- Your unit must be unengaged.
- Until the end of the turn, unless otherwise stated, your unit is not eligible to shoot, declare a charge or start an action.
- Desperate Escape: If your unit is not battle-shocked, you must make a battle-shock roll for your unit (01.07).
EFFECT: Your unit moves as described in Moving (03).
AFTER MOVING: Your unit must be unengaged.
EFFECT: Your unit is set up as described in Set Up (03.02).
BEFORE MOVING: Your unit is set up as described in Set Up (03.02).
WHILE MOVING: Set up your unit wholly within the set-up distance of one or more battlefield edges and more than 8" horizontally from all enemy units.
- Before the Third Battle Round: While doing so, no models can be set up within your opponent’s deployment zone.
EFFECT: No models are moved (either in straight lines or rotated). Units that remain stationary do not trigger any rules that are triggered when a unit starts or ends a move.
When a model is destroyed, first resolve any rules that are triggered when it is destroyed, then it is removed from the battlefield. If any such rules apply, and if the model was destroyed as the result of an attack, unless otherwise stated, those rules are only resolved and that model is only removed after the attacking unit’s attacks have been resolved. Unless otherwise stated, destroyed models and units cannot use abilities or be selected or targeted by rules.
Some rules only trigger if an enemy model or unit was destroyed by you, or by a model or unit from your army. This means that the enemy model or unit was destroyed by an attack made by a model from your army, or by a player rule you have. Enemy models or units that are destroyed by any other means are not destroyed by you, or by a model or unit from your army.
- If a rule instructs you to move a model as close as possible to a unit or model you must end that model’s move in base contact with that unit or model if its move is sufficient to do so without breaking any other restrictions (such as coherency), or as close as you can achieve if its move is not sufficient.
- If a model is already as close as possible to a unit or model when it is instructed to make a move as close as possible towards a unit or model, that model cannot be moved, but still counts as having made the move in question.
- If a rule instructs you to move a model as close as possible to an objective you must end that model’s move within range of an objective if its move is sufficient to do so without breaking any other restrictions (such as coherency), or as close as you can achieve if its move is not sufficient.
- If that model is already within range of an objective it can move up to the maximum distance of that move but must end its move still within range of that objective.
If a persisting effect applies to a unit when you place it in strategic reserves or when it embarks within a TRANSPORT, make a note of that effect and its duration; if that unit is set up on the battlefield again, any persisting effects continue to apply to that unit for their full duration.
If you have a rule that specifies when it is triggered (e.g. ‘In the Shooting phase’) and it does not specify how long it is active for, it is only active for the duration of that specified period (e.g. until the end of that Shooting phase). After that period, that effect is no longer applicable/active.
If a rule or effect is given to a unit and it does not specify how long it is active for, it is only active for the phase in which it was given.
If a TRANSPORT model is destroyed, before removing it from the battlefield, the active player must make an emergency disembark move (see below) with each unit embarked within it.
- Rapid/Tactical Disembark: 3"
- Combat Disembark: 6"
- Embarked within a TRANSPORT model that is on the battlefield.
- Did not embark within that TRANSPORT this phase.
- That TRANSPORT has not made an advance or fall-back move this phase.
BEFORE MOVING: Select disembark mode:
- Rapid Disembark:If that TRANSPORT made a normal or ingress move this phase, you must select this mode.
- Tactical Disembark:Otherwise, If that TRANSPORT remained stationary or has not yet been selected to move this phase, and if you can set up your unit as described below, you must select this mode.
- Combat Disembark:Otherwise, you must select this mode. Make a hazard roll for each model in your unit.
- Rapid Disembark:If that TRANSPORT made an ingress move this turn, each model must follow the same rules that TRANSPORT had to follow while resolving that move.
- Combat Disembark:Each model can be set up engaged with one or more enemy units that TRANSPORT is engaged with.
- Rapid Disembark:Until the end of the turn, your unit is not eligible to declare a charge.
- Tactical Disembark:Select your unit to make a normal or advance move.
- Combat Disembark:Your unit is battle-shocked and, until the end of the turn, it is not eligible to declare a charge.
EFFECT: Your unit is set up as described in Set Up (03.02).
BEFORE MOVING: Make a hazard roll for each model in your unit (06.03).
WHILE MOVING: Set up each model in your unit wholly within the set-up distance of that TRANSPORT, and as close as possible to that TRANSPORT. Each model that cannot be set up in this way is destroyed.
AFTER MOVING: Your unit is battle-shocked and, until the end of the turn, it is not eligible to declare a charge.
- Hazard Rolls 06.03
- Persisting Rules Effects
TARGET: One BLOODLETTERS unit from your army that is in Reserves.
EFFECT: Set your unit up anywhere on the battlefield wholly within 9" of that destroyed model and more than 6" horizontally away from all enemy units, then remove the destroyed model from play.
RESTRICTIONS: You cannot use this Stratagem more than once per battle round.
The WORLD EATERS and CHARACTER keywords are used in the following World Eaters datasheets:
The EPIC HERO keyword is used in the following World Eaters datasheets:
Every Khornate champion treads a personal Path to Glory. Through carnage and bloodshed, they earn empowering boons of martial might.
When a friendly WORLD EATERS CHARACTER unit (excluding EPIC HERO units) is selected to fight, that unit’s CHARACTER models’ melee attacks can have:- [CLEAVE 1].
- Or: +1 AP.
Mighty heroes fight at the forefront of battle.
Before the battle, in the Muster Armies step, for each leader and support unit in your army, you can select one friendly bodyguard unit that unit can lead. That unit will then lead that bodyguard unit for the battle and form an attached unit with it.Unless otherwise stated, each bodyguard unit can only have one leader unit and one support unit attached to it.
The CHARACTER keyword is used in the following World Eaters datasheets:
Some units make their way to battle via tunnelling, teleportation, high-altitude descent or other extraordinary means that allow them to appear suddenly in the thick of the fighting.
During the Declare Battle Formations step, if every model in a unit has this ability, you can set it up in Reserves instead of setting it up on the battlefield. If you do, in the Reinforcements step of one of your Movement phases you can set up this unit anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 9" horizontally away from all enemy models. If a unit with the Deep Strike ability arrives from Strategic Reserves, the controlling player can choose for that unit to be set up either using the rules for Strategic Reserves or using the Deep Strike ability.- Unit can be set up in Reserves instead of on the battlefield.
- Unit can be set up in your Reinforcements step, more than 9" horizontally away from all enemy models.
- A unit has all the keywords of all models in that unit. A model only has its own keywords.
- If a rule specifies that it applies to a unit with a keyword, it applies to a unit which includes one or more models with that keyword.
- If a rule specifies that it applies to a model with a keyword, it only applies to a model with that keyword.
- If a rule specifies that it applies to ‘non-KEYWORD’ models/units, it only applies to models/units that do not have that keyword. For example, if a rule applies to non-VEHICLE units, it only applies to units that do not have the VEHICLE keyword.
- Some units can contain models that have different keywords. While this is the case, such a unit is considered to have all of the keywords of all of its models, and so is affected by any rule that applies to units with any of those keywords. Remember that attacks are made against units, not models.
- If a rule only applies to models with a specific keyword, then it instead only applies to models in such a unit that have the correct keyword.
- A rule with a comma-separated list of keywords, or a series of keywords separated by slashes (‘/’), or two keywords separated by the word ‘or’ (e.g. ‘an IMMORTALS, DEATHMARKS or LYCHGUARD unit’) refers to a model/unit that has any one of those keywords.
- A rule with multiple adjacent keywords (e.g. ‘an AELDARI GUARDIANS unit’) only refers to a model/unit that has all of those keywords.
- Some older rules use keywords without specifying model or unit: for example, MONSTER/VEHICLE or TRANSPORT. These rules refer to units with those keywords.
- Singular and plural instances of the same keyword function in the same way.
Some rules are linked to one or more keywords. For example, a rule might say that it applies to INFANTRY units. This means it only applies to units that have the INFANTRY keyword. Singular and plural instances of the same keyword function in the same way.
- Mixed Keywords in Units
This puissant master of carnage has earned the right to lead Khornes immortal legions to war.
LORD ON JUGGERNAUT model only. During the Declare Battle Formations step, the bearer can be attached to a BLOODCRUSHERS or FLESH HOUNDS unit. While leading one of these units, the bearer has the Deep Strike ability, and it has the BLOOD LEGIONS Faction keyword instead of the WORLD EATERS Faction keyword.
EFFECT: Your unit moves as described in Moving (03).
BEFORE MOVING: Select consolidation mode:
- Ongoing Consolidation:If your unit is engaged, you must select this mode and select every enemy unit it is engaged with.
- Engaging Consolidation:Otherwise, if your unit is within 3" of one or more enemy units, you must select this mode and select one or more of those enemy units.
- Objective Consolidation:Otherwise, if your unit is within 3" of one or more objectives, you must select this mode and select one of those objectives.
- Ongoing Consolidation:Models in base-contact with one or more enemy models cannot be moved. Each model that is moved must end its move closer to the closest selected enemy unit, and engaged with it if possible.
- Engaging Consolidation:Each model that is moved must end its move closer to the closest selected enemy unit, and engaged with it if possible.
- Objective Consolidation:Each model that is moved must end its move within range of the selected objective if possible, or closer to it if not.
- Ongoing Consolidation:Each model that started this move engaged with an enemy unit must still be engaged with that enemy unit.
- Engaging Consolidation:Your unit must be engaged with all of the selected enemy units. If one or more enemy units engaged with your unit have not been selected to fight this phase, your opponent must select each of those units, one at a time; when each is selected, it becomes eligible to fight and is selected to fight (12.04).
- Objective Consolidation:Your unit must be within range of the selected objective.
Many deadly weapons can inflict fatal injuries on any foe, no matter their resilience.
Each time an attack made with a [LETHAL HITS] weapon results in a critical hit, you can choose for that attack to automatically wound the target.
|
Some weapons possess a punishing rate of fire, or can land devastating flurries of blows, tearing the foe apart with relentless ferocity.
This ability always takes the form [SUSTAINED HITS X]. Each time an attack made with a [SUSTAINED HITS] weapon results in a critical hit, that attack results in a number of additional hits on the target as denoted by X.The most potent weapons strike with such power that they make a mockery of armour and can cleave through several foes.
Each time an attack made with a [DEVASTATING WOUNDS] weapon results in a critical wound, the attack sequence for that attack ends and the target unit suffers a number of mortal wounds equal to the D characteristic of that weapon. These are inflicted after resolving any normal damage inflicted by those attacks.Mortal wounds inflicted by [DEVASTATING WOUNDS] weapons can damage a maximum of one model for each critical wound; any remaining mortal wounds inflicted by that attack are lost.

There are several categories of Battle Honours that can be bestowed upon a unit, such as Battle Traits, Weapon Modifications and Crusade Relics. Other categories of Battle Honour may be found in other publications. Each time a unit gains a Battle Honour, you can select from any category.
- Once a unit gains enough XP it will gain a rank.
- Only CHARACTER units can gain the Heroic or Legendary ranks.
- Each time a unit gains a rank, it can gain a Battle Honour.
- There are several categories of Battle Honours, which include:
- Battle Traits: New skills and abilities.
- Weapon Modifications: Upgrade an item of wargear.
- Crusade Relic: Gain a rare and powerful artefact.
- Each time a unit gains a Battle Honour, increase its Crusade points total by 1 (or by 2 if TITANIC).
The greatest warriors, most cunning tacticians and seers lead their armies to war possessed of hard-won skills and powerful artefacts that mark them out as legendary commanders.
You can select one Enhancement that unit has access to (if using this Requisition when that unit gains a rank, this is instead of it gaining a Battle Honour). When doing so, that unit has access to any Enhancements described within any Detachment rules that it could use, even though you have not yet started to muster your army and so have not selected any Detachment rules yet.
If the selected Enhancement replaces a weapon that is a Crusade Relic or a weapon upgraded by Weapon Modifications, that Crusade Relic or Weapon Modifications are lost. Recalculate the unit’s points value as a result of gaining this Enhancement and update its Crusade card. You cannot make any changes that would cause you to exceed your Supply Limit.
This Requisition costs 1RP plus 1 additional RP for each other Enhancement that your Order of Battle contains (to a maximum of 3RP).
Some warriors ride to battle atop trusty mounts that gore and trample nearby foes. Others wield combat weapons that deliver a frenzy of additional blows.
Each time a unit containing one or more models with an [EXTRA ATTACKS] weapon fights, those models will make attacks with those weapons in addition to any others. In the Select Weapons step (04.01), for each of those models, you must select:- All of that model’s [EXTRA ATTACKS] weapons.
- One of that model’s other melee weapons, if possible.
When all of a model’s ranged weapons have shot, that model has shot.
When all models in a unit that are making ranged attacks have resolved all of those attacks, that unit has shot.
If a unit was selected to shoot and none of the models in it make any attacks, it has not shot.
- The rule allowing this move type has been triggered.
- Your unit is not battle-shocked.
- Your unit is unengaged.
- Your unit has not moved this phase.
BEFORE MOVING: Select the closest enemy unit to be the surge target.
WHILE MOVING:
- Each model must end its move engaged with the surge target if possible.
- Each model that cannot end its move engaged with the surge target must end its move as close as possible to the surge target.
- Your unit cannot be engaged with one or more enemy units that were not the surge target.
- Your unit cannot move again this phase.

While a model with an aura ability is on the battlefield, it is always within range of its own aura ability.
A unit can be affected by more than one aura ability at a time, but if a unit is within range of the same aura ability more than once, that aura ability only applies to that unit once.
The WORLD EATERS and INFANTRY keywords are used in the following World Eaters datasheets:
Many armies employ reconnaissance units who can sit concealed, waiting for the right moment to strike.
During deployment, if every model in a unit has this ability, it can be set up anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 8" horizontally from your opponent’s deployment zone and all enemy units.The hardiest warriors refuse to be laid low, even by wounds that should by all rights prove lethal.
This ability always takes the form Feel No Pain X+. Each time a model with this ability would lose a wound, roll one D6: on an X+, that wound is not lost.Some rules refer to units being below starting strength, or at – or below – half-strength. The meaning of these terms varies depending on a unit’s starting strength, as shown below.

Titanic Khornate war engines draw teeming masses of cultists to war.
At the start of your Command phase, you can select one of the Idols of Khorne abilities listed below. Until the start of your next Command phase, that ability is active and its effects apply to all WORLD EATERS TITANIC and WORLD EATERS MONSTER units from your army. You can only select each Idols of Khorne ability once per battle.Idol of Infinite Rage (Aura)
While a friendly JAKHALS or GOREMONGERS unit is within 6" of this model (or within 9" if this model is TITANIC), each time a model in that unit makes an attack, add 1 to the Hit roll and add 1 to the Wound roll.
Idol of Burning Wrath (Aura)
While a friendly JAKHALS or GOREMONGERS unit is within 6" of this model (or within 9" if this model is TITANIC), add 1" to the Move characteristic of models in that unit and add 1 to Advance and Charge rolls made for that unit.
Idol of Blessed Blood (Aura)
While a friendly JAKHALS or GOREMONGERS unit is within 6" of this model (or within 9" if this model is TITANIC), models in that unit have a 4+ invulnerable save.
KEYWORDS
JAKHALS and GOREMONGERS units from your army have the BATTLELINE keyword.
- Select Model: Select one model in that unit by following the first instruction below that applies:
If a non-CHARACTER model in that unit has lost one or more wounds, you must select that model. Otherwise, if that unit contains one or more non-CHARACTER models, you must select one of those models. Otherwise, if one or more CHARACTER models in that unit have lost one or more wounds, you must select one of those models. Otherwise, you must select one CHARACTER model in that unit. - Resolve Damage: The selected model loses 1 wound. If this reduces that model’s remaining wounds to 0, it is destroyed.
MORTAL WOUNDS AND NORMAL DAMAGE
When resolving attack dice, if those attacks inflict a mixture of both mortal wounds and normal damage, resolve all of the normal damage first, then resolve all of the mortal wounds.
With the momentum of a warrior at full-tilt, lance weapons are deadly on the charge.
Each time an attack is made with a [LANCE] weapon, if the attacking model’s unit made a charge move this turn, add 1 to the wound roll.To call forth the blood legions requires the spilling of oceans of crimson gore.
Each time a BLOOD LEGIONS or WORLD EATERS unit from your army destroys an enemy unit, roll one D6: on a 3+, you gain 1 Blood Tithe point (BTP). At the start of the Command phase, you can spend one or more of your BTP to activate one of the following abilities until the end of the battle:- Enraged Abjuration [2BTP]
BLOOD LEGIONS and WORLD EATERS models from your army have the Feel No Pain 5+ ability against Psychic Attacks and mortal wounds. - Daemonic Rage [3BTP]

Incursion: Up to 500 pts
Strike Force: Up to 1000 pts
Onslaught: Up to 1500 pts
No BLOOD LEGIONS model from your army can be your WARLORD.
- If that roll succeeds, that unit does not become battle-shocked.
- If that roll fails, that unit, and each model in it, is battle-shocked.
While a unit is battle-shocked:
- The Objective Control (OC) characteristic of all of its models is modified to ‘-’ (02.02).
- Its controlling player cannot target that unit with stratagems (15).
- It is not eligible to start an action (16), and any action it has started cannot be completed.
Dual weapons are often grafted to the same targeting system for greater lethality.
Each time an attack is made with a [TWIN-LINKED] weapon, you can re-roll the wound roll.The WORLD EATERS and POSSESSED keywords are used in the following World Eaters datasheets:
Incoming fire serves only to fan the flames of daemonic fury, driving Khorne’s possessed into a malicious rage.
WORLD EATERS POSSESSED units from your army have the following ability:Brazen Fury: In your opponent’s Shooting phase, when an enemy unit has shot, if a model in this unit was destroyed as a result of those attacks, this unit can make a surge move of up to D6". That surge move is a Brazen Fury move.
The WORLD EATERS and DAEMON keywords are used in the following World Eaters datasheets:
EFFECT: Your unit is set up as described in Set Up (03.02).
BEFORE MOVING: Make a hazard roll for each model in your unit (06.03).
WHILE MOVING: Set up each model in your unit wholly within the set-up distance of that TRANSPORT, and as close as possible to that TRANSPORT. Each model that cannot be set up in this way is destroyed.
AFTER MOVING: Your unit is battle-shocked and, until the end of the turn, it is not eligible to declare a charge.
From detonating ammo stores to corrosive innards or frenzied death throes, some targets are deadly even in defeat.
This ability always takes the form Deadly Demise X. Each time a model in this unit is destroyed, after the units embarked within it (if any) have made their emergency disembark moves, roll one D6. On a 6, that model suffers a deadly demise; each unit within 6" of that model suffers a number of mortal wounds denoted by X (if this is a random number, roll separately for each unit within 6").Other models and units can be either visible or fully visible to the observing model, as shown below. Note that terrain applies additional rules to visibility (13.07).
EFFECT: Your unit shoots as described in Making Attacks (04).
WHILE SHOOTING:
- You can only target one visible enemy unit within 24" of your unit (and only if it is an eligible target).
- Each attack only hits on an unmodified hit roll of 6 (irrespective of the attacking weapon’s BS characteristic or any modifiers).
- You cannot re-roll hit rolls.
TARGET: One friendly unengaged unit (excluding TITANIC units).
EFFECT: Your unit shoots using snap shooting.
- That unit is not visible to any other units (units are visible to themselves).
- Any other unit is not visible to that unit.
- Players cannot measure distances to or from that unit (units are within range of their own abilities).
This means units not on the battlefield cannot be selected or targeted by any attack or rule that requires a unit to be visible or within a certain distance (other than their own abilities).
Such units can still use their other rules, and are still units in the controlling player’s army and so can be affected by rules that require a player to select a unit from an army, as well as rules that affect all units in an army.
The controlling player must make battle-shock rolls for units that are not on the battlefield in their Command phase if they are battle-shocked, or if they are at or below half-strength.
- Each model in that unit is within 3" of that TRANSPORT.
- That unit was not set up on the battlefield this turn.
- That unit is eligible to embark within that TRANSPORT, as described on that TRANSPORT’s datasheet.
- That TRANSPORT has sufficient remaining transport capacity for each model in that unit.
When a unit embarks, the active player removes that unit from the battlefield and places it to one side – it is now embarked within that TRANSPORT and is not on the battlefield.
- Not on the Battlefield
Scouts form the vanguard of many armies. Unnoticed by the enemy, they range ahead of the main force.
This ability always takes the form Scouts X". In the Resolve Pre-battle Abilities step, if every model in a unit has this ability, you can do one of the following:- If that unit is in strategic reserves, you can set up that unit anywhere that is wholly within your deployment zone.
- If that unit is wholly within your deployment zone, it can make a scout move (see below).
- If that unit is embarked within a DEDICATED TRANSPORT that is wholly within your deployment zone, and if every model embarked within that DEDICATED TRANSPORT has the Scouts ability, that DEDICATED TRANSPORT can make a scout move.
EFFECT: Your unit moves as described in Moving (03).
AFTER MOVING: Your unit must be more than 8" horizontally from all enemy units.
Those possessed of lightning-fast reactions may strike before the opponent can react.
While every model in a unit has this ability, that unit is a Fights First unit.See the Resolve Fights First Combats step in the Fight phase (12.04).
The WORLD EATERS and VEHICLE keywords are used in the following World Eaters datasheets:
- Rapid/Tactical Disembark: 3"
- Combat Disembark: 6"
- Embarked within a TRANSPORT model that is on the battlefield.
- Did not embark within that TRANSPORT this phase.
- That TRANSPORT has not made an advance or fall-back move this phase.
BEFORE MOVING: Select disembark mode:
- Rapid Disembark:If that TRANSPORT made a normal or ingress move this phase, you must select this mode.
- Tactical Disembark:Otherwise, If that TRANSPORT remained stationary or has not yet been selected to move this phase, and if you can set up your unit as described below, you must select this mode.
- Combat Disembark:Otherwise, you must select this mode. Make a hazard roll for each model in your unit.
- Rapid Disembark:If that TRANSPORT made an ingress move this turn, each model must follow the same rules that TRANSPORT had to follow while resolving that move.
- Combat Disembark:Each model can be set up engaged with one or more enemy units that TRANSPORT is engaged with.
- Rapid Disembark:Until the end of the turn, your unit is not eligible to declare a charge.
- Tactical Disembark:Select your unit to make a normal or advance move.
- Combat Disembark:Your unit is battle-shocked and, until the end of the turn, it is not eligible to declare a charge.
The DAEMON and VEHICLE keywords are used in the following World Eaters datasheets:
With sufficient might or skill, warriors may sweep blades or talons through their foes in long lethal arcs.
This ability always takes the form [CLEAVE X]. Each time you gather attack dice for a [CLEAVE] weapon, if you only selected one target for all of that weapon’s attacks, add X additional attack dice for every five models that were in the target unit in the Select Targets step (rounding down).Unless otherwise stated, that rule allows you to ignore modifiers to the unit’s rolls and the unit’s profile and weapon characteristics.
When a rule states you can ignore modifiers to a stated roll or characteristic, you can choose to ignore all of those modifiers, or only some of them. For example, you can still choose to apply positive/beneficial modifiers while ignoring negative/detrimental modifiers.
- Exposed/Light: All models can move horizontally and vertically through exposed and light terrain features.
- Dense:
- INFANTRY/BEASTS/SWARM/MOBILE models can move horizontally through dense terrain features.
- INFANTRY/BEASTS/SWARM models can move vertically through dense terrain features.
- Other models can move horizontally through dense terrain features provided that all sections of that terrain feature that the moving model’s base would move through are 2" or less in height. Otherwise, the moving model must move vertically to ascend or descend such sections. They cannot move through ceilings and floors while doing so, and they cannot end that move on any surface of that terrain feature that is not on ground level (see below).

The WORLD EATERS and EPIC HERO keywords are used in the following World Eaters datasheets:
Khorne warps the flesh and bone of his faithful, turning them into twisted, monstrous killers worthy of fighting in his name.
To court the favour of the Blood God is to risk Khorne’s wrath. Many powerful champions have disappeared beneath an overabundance of gifts, ending their Path to Glory as mindless aberrations of insane mutation. These mindless beasts are then herded together with other unfortunate Spawn and goaded towards the enemy to spill blood in their dark masters name.
If a WORLD EATERS model from your Crusade force suffers Spawndom, remove that model’s unit from your Crusade force, then add a new WORLD EATERS CHAOS SPAWN unit to your Crusade force. The new unit has the same number of Battle Honours, Battle Scars, XP, Skull points and Legendary Skull points as the unit it replaced. If adding this unit would cause your Crusade points total to exceed your Crusade force’s Supply Limit, you must first increase your Supply Limit (such as by using the Increase Supply Limit Requisition) or your unit is removed from your Crusade force and no new unit is added in its place.Information uncovered by your forces has revealed the growing importance of this war zone and the increasing threat posed by enemies. In response, high command has acceded to your urgent request for reinforcements.
- Create Groups: Divide all models in the target unit into the following groups, as many times as required:
- One group for each CHARACTER model.
- One group for all other models with the same W, Sv and InSv characteristics.
- Allocation Order: Declare the order in which those groups will have attacks allocated to them, applying all of the following:
- If a non-CHARACTER group contains a model that has lost one or more wounds, that group must be first in the allocation order.
- No CHARACTER group can be earlier in the allocation order than a non-CHARACTER group.
- CHARACTER groups containing a model that has lost one or more wounds must be earlier in the allocation order than CHARACTER groups containing no wounded models.
- Make Save Rolls: The opposing player makes one save roll for each attack that wounded the target by rolling one D6.
Precision attacks can pick high-value targets out in a crowd.
While resolving attacks made with one or more [PRECISION] weapons, at the start of the Allocation Order step (05.03), if the target unit contains one or more CHARACTER models visible to one or more of the attacking models, the active player can select one allocation group that contains one of those visible CHARACTER models. If they do, until those attacks are resolved, or until that CHARACTER group is destroyed (whichever happens first), that CHARACTER group is the current allocation group.Weapons powered by unstable and dangerous energy sources pose a substantial risk to the wielder and those that stand beside them.
Each time a unit is selected to shoot or selected to fight, after that unit has resolved all of its attacks, make a number of hazard rolls (06.03) for that unit equal to the number of [HAZARDOUS] weapons you selected in the Select Weapons step.To enter the eightcage is to invite a horrific demise. Yet, the rewards are well worth the price for those who possess the willpower and fury to survive such a process.
- Select one KHORNE BERZERKERS or WORLD EATERS TERMINATOR SQUAD unit from your Crusade force. Remove that unit from your Crusade force and add either one EIGHTBOUND unit or one EXALTED EIGHTBOUND unit to your Crusade force.
- Select one WORLD EATERS CHARACTER unit (excluding DAEMON units) from your Crusade force. Remove that unit from your Crusade force and add one SLAUGHTERBOUND unit to your Crusade force.
The ultimate prize for those dedicated to Khorne is to ascend to the immortal ranks of daemonhood. These blessed few ally their newfound infernal might with centuries of combat experience.
The new unit can keep any Boons of Khorne the unit it replaced had, even though DAEMON models cannot normally have Boons of Khorne. Any Battle Scars the replaced unit had are not retained. The new unit has the same number of Battle Honours, XP, Skull points and Legendary Skull points as the unit it replaced. You cannot purchase this Requisition if doing so would cause you to exceed your Crusade force’s Supply Limit.
