THE RED BUTCHERS and THE BUTCHERS' EYES
Fresh off of exterminating the populous of the loyalist Tull System, the World Eaters of Angron's 4th Battle Group await orders for their next assignment. No matter the tactical objective of the upcoming campaign, the end will be the same - complete and utter slaughter of the enemy.
Of all the troops at Horus' disposal going forward in his war of hated and vengeance against The Emperor, none are so rightfully feared as Angron's Red Butchers. Driven mad by bloodlust and the piercing "butcher's nails," these berzerkers are unleashed upon the enemy and all allied troops know to keep a wide berth of their carnage. To exert control over these madmen and use them strategically in battle, they are accompanied by an elite recon squad of World Eaters who infiltrate ahead on the battlefield and call in targets for The Butchers. Therefore they have a nickname among the 4th Battle Group - The Butchers' Eyes.

The Red Butchers
By the end of a campaign, their white armor was stained red with blood. Their own blood, the blood of their enemies, the blood of fellow World Eaters who got too close to the rampage.
Once a renowned Centurion among the World Eaters, after the butcher's nails were pierced into his skull and deplorable madness took hold, Argor is now an unfeeling Butcher, hellbent on killing all before him.
Both units look great. Those are two excellent model kits that just ooze flavor and pull you into their world. The Butchers are very intense with the dynamic poses and gore splatter. The finished bases also add a little something to the overall look. The World Eaters will make a fun and thematic addition to the campaign.
ReplyDeleteWow. Pete did not spare the gore one bit! Duel chainaxe wielding terminators... I presume they'll be deep striking right into the fun, peferably far away from the rest of their army. What are the so-called butcher's nails? They get lovely manicures?
ReplyDeleteMost Terminators cannot deep strike in Horus Heresy (only special units or by taking special Rites of War). So Pete better get them some wheels so they can get up in the enemy's face faster!
