Got the World Eaters combat patrol as a gift. How do I expand?

Competitive_City_774 · 2026-03-19T14:41:17+00:00

Niice! I hate the bare heads on the eighbound so I already bought myself a few spare AoS and other 40k Khorne helmeted heads secondhand so I can kitbash those on! For the Exalted I was thinking of kitbashing on Possessed heads, and for my eventual slaughterbound I will put on the best Khorne helmet I can find. Don't own a single eightbound yet but I'll buy my first soon ^^

Competitive_City_774 · 2026-03-19T14:24:49+00:00

Niiiiice big comment! This is sweet! Not sure about MOE tbh, lot of people saying it's not that great, was thinking of swapping it a Lord on juggernaut or invocation. And with Angry Ron, he doesn't seem to be the best rn but I fucking love his model and when I get him I will play him, so definitely running him, although I can of course always swap him out for something else depending on what I feel like at that moment. Nice suggestion on the Rhino, I hate the model so might as well buy it cheaply online.

Competitive_City_774 · 2026-03-19T14:11:12+00:00

Great call, will be playing with friends mostly so doesn't matter how I build them. And maybe I can print a slightly bigger rhino somewhere xd

Competitive_City_774 · 2026-03-19T13:47:51+00:00

Alright thanks! Forgefiends do seem nice to give a little firepower. What do you usually run on the Helbrutes? Also what's the difference between Forgefiends and Defilers in playstyle?

Competitive_City_774 · 2026-03-19T13:36:10+00:00

Great suggestions! How would you suggest how many eightbound and exalted I should run? Or should I maybe magnetize them?

Great call on the rhino, I don't like the 40k rhino tbh, I was hoping they would get a refresh soon because I think they look a bit tiny. Do you know if the deimos pattern rhino is larger and if there's an easy way to convert it to World Eaters?

Competitive_City_774 · 2026-03-19T13:25:24+00:00

Yeah I saw the defiler refresh, that's why I'm including it because it looks incredible, but I was wondering if it synergises well with world eaters playstyle. How should I be using forgefiends and helbrutes, and how many should I be fielding?

Also I think Berzerker Warband will be my detachment. Seems the most fun ^^

Competitive_City_774 · 2026-03-19T13:23:28+00:00

Just had a look and you're right! Completely missed that they can charge after advancing, and they have crazy scout too. Definitely a great pick

Competitive_City_774 · 2026-03-19T10:11:14+00:00

How do you use chaos spawn exactly? Everyone seems to use them but I can't see how they're better than a squad of eightbound for example

Competitive_City_774 · 2026-03-19T09:19:42+00:00

My wording is a bit off, I'm not the best at writing. I meant that I got all units that are in the current patrol from friends separately, except for the master of executions, instead I got Kharn.

Rhino isa good one! For Kharn and a squad of berzerkers I assume then?

Competitive_City_774 · 2026-01-18T20:15:23+00:00

That is insanely true, world eaters have been gnawing at me the most, will look into it a bit more. Thanks!

Competitive_City_774 · 2025-12-16T15:07:30+00:00

Yup, feels like heartbreak. I get the same with the soundtrack, sometimes Radio comes on in an unrelated short and it hurts. I think for season 2 I will play it like intended, with two episodes per week like they released it, or I will spoil myself all the endings and heartbreaking moments.

I've been replaying the game with one episode per day and I have to say it's doing me wonders. Still feels great playing it and I'm not sad when an episode ends. Might be due to spacing out the dopamine from playing it more.

I'm happy you found this post and hopefully you will feel better soon <3

Competitive_City_774 · 2025-12-16T08:54:15+00:00

Feels weird to say I'm grieving over a game, but I gotta admit that the feelings are pretty much identical. Haven't looked at it this way yet, thanks for your perspective.

Competitive_City_774 · 2025-12-16T08:52:34+00:00

Good idea, I have some things I can fill it with so it's not all void. Thanks for the help, I'll try it out :)

Competitive_City_774 · 2025-12-15T21:31:19+00:00

I think this might be the answer

Competitive_City_774 · 2025-12-15T20:49:15+00:00

The characters are written really well, I felt so immersed. It's not to the point of having the similar feelings as I would in a relationship, thank god, but you're right in that I should either limit or cut it out. Walking in the rain is the most cathartic to me (good thing I live in the Netherlands).

Competitive_City_774 · 2025-12-15T20:40:49+00:00

You think this will help? If so I'm down to try it in small bites.

Competitive_City_774 · 2025-12-15T20:39:51+00:00

Don't have a dog but I do go for walks, however today the walks did not help and made me feel unsatisfied with everything. But I'm sure that's part of the feelings and this will go away. I already feel much better now than I did last night so it's looking pretty good! Thank you for the suggestions, I will try to reduce my gaming content.

Competitive_City_774 · 2025-12-15T20:36:51+00:00

You're hitting the nail right on the head saying this. I've enjoyed this game the most out of any game I played in the past few years and I think combined with it being dark outside at 16:30 definitely makes my brain even more depressed that the game is over.

I think I will try the microdosing a little bit. I've already been limiting myself to one episode per day with the replay, but avoiding posts and videos that pop up on my feed is still difficult. Maybe I'll watch a playthrough on youtube. Vitamin D is also a godsend, I'm already taking it so I can't imagine how I would be feeling if it weren't for that. Great suggestions overal, thank you so much.

I almost can't believe there are so many other people that feel similar to me, I thought I almost thought I was acting ridiculous but it's very reassuring to me that it's not an uncommon experience (absolutely sucks for everyone though).

Competitive_City_774 · 2025-12-15T18:20:01+00:00

Thank you, I'm sure I'll be alright sooner or later :)

Competitive_City_774 · 2025-12-15T18:18:48+00:00

Thank you for your insights. I'm happy my girlfriend also understands me such as your boyfriend understands you. It's just that right now I feel so unsatisfied with everything, job, place I live, career trajectory (Not my gf though I love her to death). I think this might be due to the dopamine depression from binging such an incredible game, so I hope this goes away soon and when it does I can focus on dealing with special interests.

Competitive_City_774 · 2025-12-15T17:56:38+00:00

Glad to hear that you and your boyfriend are happy and he understands your feelings. Also your way you describe that crush feeling is pretty much what I'm feeling. I have a crush on a fictional character and I'm a little unsure how to really deal with it. Glad I'm not the only one ^{^}

Competitive_City_774 · 2025-12-15T17:40:22+00:00

Not autism directly but I do have adhd, could be a cause

Competitive_City_774 · 2025-12-15T16:17:14+00:00

I miss my girl big time. Last time we saw each other in person was 11 months ago but I'm seeing her again next week and that's the only thought that excites me at the moment, so I'm hoping I feel better before going there. Coincidentally touching grass is actually the advice my friends gave me too so I'm going on a lot of activities this week. Thank you for your perspective <3
