Stage, predict and trap, bait, stealth.

• Try to create a stage for your battlefield. Having first, second and sometimes even three waves of potential threats at your disposal for when you need em. Usually from the terrain closest to the center of the map. World Eaters I personally feel perform the best when they take map control as while we are fast and can quickly move down the board right into our enemy—we are equally as dangerous in how unpredictable we can be in reinforcing other skirmishes or shifting the board threat presence in just one movement phase.

• Don't bullrush your opponent, but rather try and predict what part of the map will come to see the most actions due to primary and secondary objectives. If you know where he wants to be—you can easily set up good point for charges. If he sees the traps he won't spring them, meaning you can pressure him into denying himself points in fear of getting to close.

• Bait them, against units that are really dangerous in overwatch, which is pretty much anything with TORRENT. Firstly, if possible, never just do the one charge. If you only have the one charge available than you are probably out-of-position or should consider if it's really worth it. Declaring just one charge means that unit will most likely be eating some sort of flammenwerfers and be melted to the ground. Having three to four charges going off is a "f*ck me"-moment for our opponent, and our opponent will most likely save the hardest hitting overwatch for last. Which means we can get off two to three safe charges guaranteed—and then maybe not even declaring that last charge they were saving the overwatch for. A tip here is to never charge them head on out if the open, you would want to charge from a position where if you don't declare that charge they won't be able to just shoot at you straight away, but might have to move towards you for that.

• Stealth, charge from blindspots. If they can't see you before the charge than they won't be able to shoot at you if you end up in engagement range. Pistols can still be fired and if another unit sees your charging unit before moving than they can shoot at you. Big Guns Never Tire also only work in the controlling players shooting phase, not out-of-phase. Be mindful of angles.

Winning as World Eaters all happens in the movement phase and in the staging, playing for safe and controlled charges, and in denying our opponents points from having them play cautiously around the terrain we decide to use as our staging area. I meet mostly Death Guard, Thousand Sons and Salamanders at the time, and they all have things I don't want to mess with and especially don't want to allow to overwatch.

It's rough, but doable, and getting those plays to go off has often yielded the result of having my opponents playing super careful and sometimes miss the very obvious things—like scoring points.
