Back to Races  

World Easters

The World Eaters are a Chaos Space Marine Legion. They were always the most extreme of Space Marines, and inductees were exposed to physical and mental conditioning to turn them into beserk madmen. Come the Horus Heresy, the World Eaters joined the rebellion and devoted themselves to Khorn, the Blood God. In battle they are a terrifying sight, charging towards the enemy armed with only close combat weaponry and with no concern for their own lives.

Classes

Leader

Warbands of World Eaters are simply led by the most powerful warrior amongst them. World Eater Lord are inhuman individuals who care for nothing but the glory of battle in the name of Khorn.

Abilities

World Eater Leaders are allowed to select up to three additional player classes each round that will be available to players in the next round. (The Leader is always available) World Eaters can charge in a berserk rage! To charge as a World Eater, use the Special Move key [Q] On some maps, World Eater Leaders will be able to choose bikes from their weapon menu. To dismount from and re-mount your bike, use the [B] key.

Tips

Only one member of each team can be a Leader! Leaders are very tough and powerful warriors, but have very few (usually only one) spawn.

Wargear List

Bolt Pistol and Chainaxe Bolt Pistol and Chainsword Frag Grenades

Khrone Berzerkers

During the Horus Heresy, the betrayal of the Emperor by fully half of the Space Marine legions of old, the World Eaters legion began to worship the Chaos God of War: Khorne, the Blood God. These Berserkers now charge into battle with only combat weapons to honourably spill blood and take skulls in his name.

Abilities

World Eaters can charge in a berserk rage! To charge as a World Eater, use the Special Move key [Q] On some maps, Berserkers will be able to choose bikes from their weapon menu. To dismount from and re-mount your bike, use the [B] key.

Tips

Berserkers belong in close combat! Blood for the Blood God, skulls for the skull throne of Khorne! Warning: bikes cost a lot of points! If you have a bike you will have fewer spawns.

World Eater Terminators

In the same way as loyalist Chapters, the most experienced of the World Eaters wear Terminator armour into battle. They are as eager as their comrades to reach close combat where they crush their foes easily with their power fists. 

Tips

World Eater Terminator power fists are slow but very powerful.

Warning:

Terminator armour means that World Eaters wearing it cannot jump, duck, or climb, and their movement is slowed

Wargear List

Storm Bolter and Power Fist Reaper Autocannon and Power Fist

World Eater Dreadnoughts

World Eater Dreadnoughts are monsterous, enraged war machines, often posessed by a daemon of the Blood God.

Tips

World Eater Dreadnoughts are incredibly powerful war machines, but generally will only have one spawn. World Eater Dreadnoughts are equipped with a ranged weapon and a close combat weapon that works in the same manner as normal classes' close combat weapons.

Warning:

World Eater Dreadnoughts are relatively slow compared to other classes in Rival Species, and often have limited mobility within maps.

Weapons

Combat Knife

The Combat Knife is the standard wargear for all Space Marines, made of Ceramics with a monomolecular edge.

Close Combat Weapon.  Usually used in combination with a pistol.

 

Bolt Pistol

The Bolt Pistol is the little brother of the Bolter. It has a decreased range, accuracy and rate of fire but the same penetration power.

Usually used in combination with a clsoe combat weapon.

 

Chain Sword

The Chainsword is a common assault weapon of elite troops in the 41st Millenium. It resembles a sword with a chain of monomolecular blades instead of the cutting edge. These cut easily through armour and flesh.

Close Combat Weapom.  Usually used in combination with a pistol.

 

Chain Axe

Warriors of Khorne commonly field deadly chainaxes. They are similar to chainswords but based upon axes or halberds rather than swords.

Close Combat Weapom.  Usually used in combination with a pistol.

 

Frag Grenades

The Fragmenation Grenade is the standard grenade of the battlefields of the 41st Millenium. When it explodes it catapults razor-sharp shrapnel that cuts through armour and flesh in an explosion that can critically distract the enemy or shield an advance.

 

Power Fist

The Power Fist or Power Glove is a heavy armoured gauntlet surrounded by an energy field which disrupts the surface of solid matter, allowing the fist to punch through solid walls and armour. It is an awesome weapon and amongst the most potent a warrior can carry. Power fists are used in conjunction with power armour by Chaos Space Marine officers and some close assault units. Most Chaos Space Marine Terminator squads use power fists as their standard close combat weapon.

Used in conjunction with a Storm Bolter, as the secondary fire function.

 

Storm Bolter

The Storm Bolter is the last generation of the Bolter-family, it arises out of the attempt to couple two Bolters to get a higher fire rate. It is the standard range weapon of loyal Space Marine Terminators.

Usually used in combination with a Power Fist.

 

Reaper Cannon

The Assault Cannon is the advanced Version of the Auto Cannon which was used during the Great Crusade. It has an even higher rate of fire but lacks something of the reliability the Auto Cannon granted.   Due to it's high rate of fire an powerfull shots the Assault Cannon  is the most deadly anti-infantry weapon on the 40K battle field.

Due to it's  massive bulk this weapon can only be carried by marines equipped with Terminator armor.

Usually used in combination with a Power Fist.

 

Combat Bike

In the 41st Millenium, technology is viewed with superstition and technological development with suspicion, and therefore ancient machines such as bikes remain in use. Space Marine bikes are large and powerful machines used in battlefields across the Galaxy.

Tips

Only Warsmiths and Chaos Marines may ride bikes, and only on levels where the mapper has made them available. Bike must be driven using the directional keys. Iron Warrior bikes are armed with twin Bolters that may be aimed up and down by the mouse.

Warning: it is very hard to fight from a bike! They are best used to strafe the enemy, or to reach them for close combat before dismounting.

Warning: Players may only re-mount their own bike, and no one else's.
