“Because we couldn’t be trusted. The Emperor needed a weapon that would never obey its own desires before those of the Imperium. He needed a weapon that would never bite the hand that feeds. The World Eaters were not that weapon. We’ve all drawn blades purely for the sake of shedding blood, and we’ve all felt the exultation of winning a war that never even needed to happen. We are not the tame, reliable pets that the Emperor wanted. The Wolves obey, when we would not. The Wolves can be trusted, when we never could. They have a discipline we lack, because their passions are not aflame with the Butcher’s Nails buzzing in the back of their skulls. The Wolves will always come to heel when called. In that regard, it is a mystery why they name themselves wolves. They are tame, collared by the Emperor, obeying his every whim. But a wolf doesn’t behave that way. Only a dog does. That is why we are the Eaters of Worlds, and the War Hounds no longer.”
—Captain Khârn of the World Eaters Legion’s 8th Assault Company, from his unpublished treatise The Eighteen Legions
Here I would like to show my project log for Kharn, the 8th Assault Company of the XII. Legion, the World Eaters and of the 13th Exploration Fleet. It all started with a Horus Heresy Kill Team event and a veteran squad. Followed by a small P500 Aleatoris strike force led by Kargos “Bloodspitter” fully equipped with jump packs. A classic huge mob of tactical Marines with Bolters completed the 750 points list for the World Eaters.
Another event brought new troops in tactical dreadnought armour with it. One thing chases the other and unit after unit followed.
Of course there are still enough castles in the air left. Book V “Tempest” is just around the corner, the battle for Calth, Legio Audax, allied Knight Houses …
