SprueSentry strategy commentary, not official rules. Faction Pack v1.2 does not reprint this detachment in full, but it amends by name in its Rules Updates section the entries noted on this page, and the remaining lists are read off a community rules mirror that already shows those amendments applied. Where a community mirror is used it is a version behind on its own stamps, recording Faction Pack v1.1 and Munitorum Field Manual v1.2 against the official v1.2 and v1.3, so the official document wins any disagreement. World Eaters were part of the 26 August 2026 faction pack reissue, so this is Faction Pack version 1.2 and was one day old when this page was written. Its Detachment Point cost, force disposition, Unique Tag and enhancement points are not in the Faction Pack; they come from the official Munitorum Field Manual v1.3, read on 27 August 2026. This detachment carries no Unique Tag. Only one World Eaters detachment does, Brazen Engines, and because no second detachment shares its tag nothing in this faction is blocked by tags at all, so Detachment Point arithmetic is the only thing that can stop a pairing. Enhancement points are dataslate-volatile and are reprinted here only as a planning aid; the Warhammer 40,000 app is the authority.
Each time a WORLD EATERS unit from your army disembarks from a TRANSPORT, until the end of the turn add 1 to Charge rolls made for that unit and that unit's melee weapons have the [lance] ability. It triggers on disembarking from any TRANSPORT, not a specific one, and [lance] means those weapons get +1 to wound rolls on a turn the unit charges, which is exactly the turn you disembarked to charge on.
REWRITTEN IN THIS PACK. One KHORNE BERZERKERS unit embarked within your model can make a disembark move and then make a surge move of up to D6+2 inches. The rewrite is what turns this from a repositioning tool into a threat-range extender, because the surge happens after the disembark.
The detachment's second disembark trick, layering onto the same turn the detachment rule already rewards.
A speed stratagem for the transports themselves, which is what gets the passengers into range in the first place.
A terrain and obstruction answer for vehicles whose whole job is to arrive.
Sustained forward pressure for a mechanised force that cannot afford to stall.
Follow-up melee output once the passengers are out and engaged.
WORLD EATERS model only. If the bearer's unit disembarked from a TRANSPORT this turn, enemy units cannot use the Fire Overwatch Stratagem to shoot at it. Five points, the cheapest enhancement in the faction, and it answers the single most common way a disembark-and-charge plan gets punished.
WORLD EATERS model only. At the start of your Shooting phase you can select one VEHICLE model within 6 inches of the bearer for a covering-fire effect while your troops disembark.
WORLD EATERS model only. In the Declare Battle Formations step, if the bearer starts embarked within a DEDICATED TRANSPORT, that transport has Scouts 9 inches. A nine inch pre-game move on the vehicle carrying your assault unit is the largest threat-range increase available to this detachment.
The detachment's most expensive enhancement, aimed at the vehicle chassis rather than the passengers.
The passengers this detachment exists to deliver, and the only unit Fury Unleashed names. A ten-strong squad disembarking with +1 to charge and [lance] is the detachment's whole plan in one activation.
See the box: price and offersThe cheap delivery vehicle. Its Meet Any Challenge ability was changed from 9 inches to 8 inches in this pack, which is a real reduction to plan around. No box is linked because the catalog holds no exact Chaos Rhino entry.
The heavy delivery option, and the one worth putting Aggressive Deployment on. Its keywords gained FRAME in this pack. No box is linked because the catalog holds no exact Chaos Land Raider entry.
The alternative payload when you want the disembark buff on something that hits harder than Berzerkers, though note Fury Unleashed itself only names KHORNE BERZERKERS.
See the box: price and offersExactly 3 DP and the best pairing in the faction. Terminators hit hard and move eight inches; this detachment puts them in a Land Raider and hands them +1 to charge rolls and [lance] on the turn they get out.
Exactly 3 DP, and legal despite the name collision. Brazen Engines carries the ONSLAUGHT Unique Tag; this detachment has the word ONSLAUGHT in its name but carries no tag, so nothing is shared and nothing is blocked. Mechanically they do not overlap at all, which makes this a genuine two-threat list rather than a stacked one.
Exactly 3 DP. Characters ride with their squads, so the disembark buff and the character melee buffs land on the same charge.
The 2 DP mechanised detachment: anything that disembarks gets +1 to charge rolls and [lance] until the end of the turn, which is the faction's real answer to crossing the table.

Sprue Sentry strategy commentary for 11th edition, not official rules. Games Workshop updates points and rules regularly; always confirm against the current official rules and latest update before a game.
Goretrack Onslaught costs 2 DP and its force disposition is Take and Hold. It solves the World Eaters' actual problem, which is not damage but distance.
Rush to the Fray: each time a WORLD EATERS unit disembarks from a TRANSPORT, until the end of the turn, add 1 to Charge rolls for that unit and its melee weapons gain [lance].
Both halves land on the same turn. [lance] gives +1 to wound rolls on a turn the unit charges, and the turn you disembark is the turn you charge, so the two clauses are designed to fire together.
This is SprueSentry strategy commentary, not official rules. Written against the official World Eaters Faction Pack version 1.2, legal for matched play from 26 August 2026, with Detachment Point costs, force dispositions, Unique Tags and enhancement points from the official Munitorum Field Manual version 1.3, read on 27 August 2026. Enhancement points are dataslate-volatile; the Warhammer 40,000 app is the final word.
World Eaters have almost no shooting. Every turn spent walking is a turn of taking fire and giving none back, and that, rather than any lack of melee power, is how the army loses games.
A transport removes two of those turns. Rush to the Fray then makes the arrival itself better rather than merely earlier: +1 to the charge roll converts a lot of failed 9 inch charges into successful ones, and [lance] improves the wound rolls on the swing that follows.
Note the wording is any TRANSPORT, not a specific one and not a Dedicated Transport only. Anything that disembarks a World Eaters unit triggers it.
Fury Unleashed was rewritten in Faction Pack v1.2. It now reads: one KHORNE BERZERKERS unit embarked within your model can make a disembark move and then make a surge move of up to D6+2 inches.
The surge happening after the disembark is the whole point of the rewrite. It turns the stratagem from a repositioning tool into a threat-range extender, and stacked with the transport's own movement it produces charge ranges that are genuinely hard to screen against. A guide written against the older pack understates this considerably.
The other five are all about arriving. Aggressive Disembarkation layers a second disembark trick onto the same turn, Full-throttle Assault and Unrelenting Advance push the vehicles forward, Smash Through answers terrain, and Endless Pursuit of Violence provides follow-up melee once the passengers are out.
Murderous Onslaught (5 pts) is the joint-cheapest enhancement the World Eaters have and one of the most useful. If the bearer's unit disembarked from a TRANSPORT this turn, enemy units cannot use the Fire Overwatch Stratagem to shoot at it. That answers the single most common way a disembark-and-charge plan gets punished, for five points.
Aggressive Deployment (20 pts) is the biggest threat-range increase available here: in the Declare Battle Formations step, if the bearer starts embarked within a DEDICATED TRANSPORT, that transport gains Scouts 9 inches. A nine inch pre-game move on the vehicle carrying your assault unit changes what your opponent can safely deploy.
Unleash Hell (10 pts) selects a VEHICLE within 6 inches at the start of your Shooting phase for a covering-fire effect, and Infernal Infusion (25 pts) is the expensive vehicle-facing option.
Khorne Berzerkers are the passengers this detachment exists to deliver, and the only unit Fury Unleashed names.
Exalted Eightbound are the alternative payload when you want the disembark buff on something that hits harder, though note that Fury Unleashed itself only names KHORNE BERZERKERS, so they benefit from the detachment rule but not from that stratagem.
For transports, the Chaos Rhino is the cheap option, and its Meet Any Challenge ability was changed from 9 inches to 8 inches in this pack, which is a real reduction worth planning around. The Chaos Land Raider is the heavy option and the right home for Aggressive Deployment; its keywords gained FRAME in this pack. We link no boxes for either because our catalog holds no exact entries for them.
The standout pairing is Butchers of Khorne for exactly 3 DP, which is covered on its own page.
Yes. The rule triggers each time a WORLD EATERS unit disembarks from a TRANSPORT, with no restriction to Dedicated Transports or to a particular vehicle. The unit gets +1 to Charge rolls and [lance] on its melee weapons until the end of that turn.
It gives +1 to wound rolls on a turn the unit charges. Since the turn you disembark is normally the turn you charge, the detachment rule's two halves are built to fire together: the +1 to the charge roll gets you into combat, and [lance] improves the attacks you make when you get there.
The Fury Unleashed stratagem's Effect section was rewritten so that an embarked KHORNE BERZERKERS unit can disembark and then make a surge move of up to D6+2 inches. The surge coming after the disembark is what makes it a threat-range tool rather than a repositioning one, and it is a substantial increase over the older wording.
Yes, and it costs exactly 3 DP. It looks blocked because Brazen Engines carries the UNIQUE: ONSLAUGHT tag and says it cannot be taken with another ONSLAUGHT detachment, and this detachment has ONSLAUGHT in its name. But it carries no Unique Tag itself under Faction Pack v1.2, Munitorum Field Manual v1.3 or the community mirror, so nothing is shared and the pairing is legal.
