A Daemonic Engine that brings the firepower!

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 19 of the Challenge.
Totals so far: 28/70 Datasheets done, 3/3 Army Rules done, 0/6 Detachment Rules done. Total 31/79.
Time elapsed: 63.33%
Progress completed: 39.24%
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 $291 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!
642 days since the start of 10th Edition.
This is Review #282, I am 360 reviews behind! (Lowest I have been is 314 behind)
World Eaters, World Eaters Forgefiend
10th Edition Index
Forgefiends are something unique to Chaos, like the Defiler they are Daemon Engines created in the Warp. When you go into the lore you find out that there is a Chaos being nearly powerful enough to become a God called Vashtor the Arkifane. This is line a Chaos neutral arms dealer who builds weapons for all the Chaos Space Marine Legions and even the Daemon Legions.
Forgefiends can be found in the Chaos Space Marine, World Eaters and Thousand Sons armies but the Death Guard do not have them. (They have their own stuff)
Let's see what this one does!
This model is 145pts and costs $84.
Let's check its stats!
Stats
Movement 8"
Toughness 10
Save 3+/5++(armor/invul/Feel No Pain)
Wounds 12
Ld 6+
OC 3
Weapons
Standard wargear is: 2x Hades Autocannons and Forgefiend jaws.
Options:
This model's 2x Hades Autocannons can be replaced with 2x Ectoplasma cannons
This model's Forgefiend Jaws can be replaced with 1 Ectoplamsa Cannon and 1 Forgefiend claws.
Ranged Weapons
Hades Autocannon
36" Range, 6 Shots, Hitting on 3+, S8, AP-1 and 2 Damage each.
Ectoplasma Cannon
36" Range, D3 Shots, Hitting on 3+, S10, AP-3 and 3 Damage each.
Melee Weapons
Forgefiend Jaws
5 Attacks, Hitting on 3+, S7, AP0 and 2 Damage each.
Forgefiend Claws
3 Attacks, Hitting on 3+, S6, AP0 and 1 Damage each.
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"
Furious Onslaught
In your shooting phase, after this model has finished shooting, if it scored a hit on an enemy Infantry unit, that unit must take a Battle-shock test.
Thoughts
Since the rest of the World Eaters army has so much melee power, using this model as an all-shooting army is pretty conceivable.
3x Ectoplasma Cannons would give you 3D3 S10 Attacks. With blast on a unit of 10 models it would get 3D3+6 attacks for a 9-15 shots. This could absolutely devastate even the Heaviest of infantry!
The Hades Autocannons are pretty good too if you had to fight lots of hordes.
That makes 13 World Eaters Datasheets Reviewed putting them on 56.52% Completed. The total Completed is 30.78% Complete! Can I review them all?!
