WE1.1 World Eaters Special Rules
The following special rules apply to World Eaters formations and units. Summoned units remain on the battlefield until the end phase of the turn in which
they are summoned. In the end of the rally phase, after formations have attempted
to rally, all summoned units in the formation are removed from the board and placed

10 cm of the unit with the Keeper of Skulls, which is then removed from play.
Summoned units count as part of the formation for all rules purposes as long as
they remain on the battlefield. The only exception to the normal rules is that the loss
of a summoned unit does not cause a blast marker to be placed on the formation.
They are otherwise counted as normal units, and are included when working out if a
formation outnumbers an opponent in an assault or is broken by blast markers, etc.

WE2.0 World Eaters Chaos Space Marine Army List

WE2.1 Using the Army List

World Eaters are organised around core formations called retinues which are supported by daemon influenced formations. Most formations may also
include a number of extra units called upgrades. Some companies are Core Formations – these are the backbone of the World Eaters army. Specialised
and daemon infused detachments are Auxiliary Formations. The tables below show the company, support formations, what units comprise the
detachment, what upgrades are allowed, and its points cost. Each upgrade taken adds to the cost of the company or detachment. The upgrade chart also
lists the units that make up the upgrade. Note that these will sometimes replace units in the detachment they are taken for, and sometimes take the form of
additional units for the detachment. Each upgrade may be taken once per formation.

Character upgrades may be given to both core units and upgrades within a retinue.

World Eaters armies may be supported by War Engines of Khorne, and Chaos Navy. Up to a third of the points available to the army may be spent on
these formations.
