We’re back with the Traitor Legions this week as we move from a band of bloodthirsty superhuman killers with an excellent public image to a band of bloodthirsty superhuman killers who don’t care much how they’re seen – the terrifying World Eaters. We’ve been digging through the Black Books for all the background info you need to get to grips with their savage ways, so if you’ve ever wondered how they actually function as a Legion despite their reputation as mindless berserkers, download the document below and have a read.
