Hello everyone! Zak Ludick here from Cape Town, South Africa and this is a Warhammer 40k - The Great Unit Review Wheel! post!
Now known as the Unit Review Library!
What is it all about? It is not there to just give a stat. It is there to give MY review of the unit!
A New Season of Reviews - A Challenge accepted!
The nefarious trio of World Eaters, Death Guard and Thousand Sons are set to get their new Codexes next. Actually, the great FOUR are each getting their favourite Legion's new Codexes but Emperor's Children did not have an actual Index before.
Anyway. I was speaking to my friend @nicolaasmuller about how my Review posts might not make a lot of money for me, but that cumulatively and on average some of them do good and overall there is an average that at least means that there is good movement of income into the Hobby Fund and that it would grow from there.
We were throwing around some numbers and looking at the average of my last 10 Review Posts, 20 Review posts and 30 Review Posts and we could come up with a range of how much I should theoretically be making across a large sample size of completing the remainder of the reviews for the nefarious trio mentioned above.
So Nicolaas says to me something along the lines of: That would be pretty cool if you could do it in like, a month. Maybe do like 2 a day.
So I explained it would be a little bit more than that but sure... it would be cool... is that a challenge? And yeah... here I am... Challenge accepted. 😎
It is now Day 25 of the Challenge.
Totals so far: 46/70 Datasheets done, 3/3 Army Rules done, 0/6 Detachment Rules done. Total 49/79.
Time elapsed: 83.33%
Progress completed: 62.02%
Hobby Fund - Working myself into the clear
With my hobby posts, I generate a hobby fund. 50% of the income goes into the fund. At the moment I put all my HBD earned from Warhammer posts into my alt account @zakl.hobbyfund.
I am collecting funds in the following ways:
- Blogging about Warhammer to earn HBD
- Accepting donations - Can be sent directly to @zakl.hobbyfund in HBD
- Selling some of the collection to friends.
At the current count I am paying off some hobby debts. I still have $288 to pay off!
Every bit counts!
Back to the review.
The whole project has become quite the Challenge! With so many units to review in the game the consensus in the hobby community is that I will not have enough time to review all of the Datasheets before the new edition of Warhammer 40,000 came out.
I should have started when 10th edition launched!
648 days since the start of 10th Edition.
This is Review #300, I am 348 reviews behind! (Lowest I have been is 314 behind)
World Eaters, World Eaters Predator Annihilator
10th Edition Index
Not much to say here. This is your standard Codex Chaos Space Marine Predator.
This one can be affected by the Blessings of Khorne. so this means likely an early-on +2" movement will mean this tank can quickly get sight of its main target.
This model is 130pts to field in this army and costs $75
Let's check its stats!

Toughness 10

Abilities
Deadly Demise D3 - When this model is destroyed, roll a dice, on a 6 it blows up dealing D3 Mortal Wounds to each unit within 6"
Annihilator
Each time this model allocates attacks to Vehicles or Monsters, it can re-roll the Damage roll.
Thoughts
Like I said. Rage-fuelled Invigoration would give it that 12" movement and then shoot at whatever target.
Another thing that I picked up was that the Death Guard Predator Annihilator has an OC of 4 and this one only has OC 3. LOL! Unfair!
That makes 19 World Eaters Datasheets Reviewed putting them on 82.60% Completed. The total Completed is 32.75% Complete! Can I review them all?!

a lot of firepower for not a lot of points but it feels like it takes away from the close combat frenzy of the world eaters but alas everyone needs a bit of firepower now and then.
Its alright if the local meta spams tanks.
You can't order this model from GW anymore. Maybe they are redoing the model 🤷♂️
