FORCES OF CHAOS
BACK TO INDEX
Welcome to the Index: Crusade project! The purpose of this project is to provide Crusade rules to factions that do not yet have a 10th Edition Codex.
The rules contained within are unofficial and non-commercial. Please discuss the use of these rules with your gaming group and/or campaign manager before using them.
The World Eaters are exemplars of bloody fury. Slaying all before them, they take the skulls of those they have butchered to offer up before their bloodthirsty god, hoping their offering will be judged worthy, and that they will be rewarded for their holy slaughter with mighty gifts.
If your Crusade force includes any WORLD EATERS units, before any Crusade battle, your Crusade force can begin a Skull Harvest.
If it does so, you must start tracking Worthy Skulls for your Crusade force.
During each battle, your army will gain Worthy Skulls for destroying enemy units of the types specified on the Skull Harvest Tracker. Each type of enemy unit specified also has a Worthy Skulls value. You can find these values on the table below, as well as on the Skull Harvest Tracker. During each battle, make a note each time one of the specified units is destroyed by a melee attack made by a WORLD EATERS unit from your army. At the end of the battle, the total value of these Worthy Skulls will be claimed by a unit from your army (see below).
| TYPE OF UNIT | WORTHY SKULLS VALUE |
|---|---|
CHARACTER (excluding VEHICLE or MONSTER units) |
2 |
VEHICLE or MONSTER unit |
3 |
| Any other unit | 1 |

At the end of the Determine Victor step of each battle, you must determine which unit from your army will lay claim to the Worthy Skulls. The unit with the best Leadership characteristic (excluding EPIC HERO and JAKHALS units) that is not destroyed claims the Worthy Skulls for that battle.
If there are no eligible units, then the Worthy Skulls from that battle go unclaimed and are lost.
If there is more than one eligible unit with the same Leadership characteristic, you must make a Confrontation roll for each eligible unit, as these warriors each seek to claim the skulls for themselves. To do so, roll one D6 for each eligible unit, adding 1 to the result for the unit with the highest Crusade points total, and re-rolling any ties. The unit with the highest result claims the Worthy Skulls.
When a unit claims the Worthy Skulls, add the total Worthy Skulls value from this battle to that unit’s Worthy Skulls total on your Skull Harvest Tracker.

These units have a total Worthy Skulls value of 11. The unit from his army with the highest Leadership characteristic that was not destroyed during the battle was his WORLD EATERS TERMINATOR SQUAD unit. As such, that unit claims the Worthy Skulls and Wade adds 11 to that unit’s Worthy Skulls total on his Skull Harvest Tracker.
