Just how good of a 40K Highlander List (max 1 of each unit) can the World Eaters make? Let’s find out.
Look this is a list I am thinking about playing on a stream game. I wrote this World Eater list up up as a thought design to try and make something that lets me have some tricks, try out some non Zerker Warband detachments, and just do something fun. I picked a lot of different things with the idea to utilize some deep strike shenanigans to push the opponent back a bit. I think putting some limitations on yourself as you build armies is a fun way to break out of just picking the best thing 2-3 times and repeat it over and over. With that let’s get on with the showcase of Highlander of Blood!

Khârn’s Highlander Tactics
As you can see I went with the Possessed Slaughterband and Brazen Engines. I wanted to utilize 3 of the Daemon Engines and going that direction let me utilize some of the Stratagems. I also didn’t want to take Angron as I felt he would need different support that the Highlander twist wouldn’t help as much. The Exalted and regular Eightbound can both deep strike which is a great thing to help control the game a bit more. It feels like a neat list and something I could set up on the table top and still have some kind of chance to win.
Do you think unit limitations like this help the game? Does it make it a challenge for you to play with? Do think this this is a good thing to go with?
