There seems to be a lot of customisation with different Marks and things, and quite a lot of wargear options for every unit. Taking a HQ choice with the right Mark also turns lots of Elite options into Troops. For example, take the Mark of Khorne on your Lord and Berzerkers become Troops, take the Mark of Nurgle and Plague Marines become Troops etc etc. I think that the Raptors/Warp Talons are great looking, so i'm going to try and take 10 of each. Thousand Sons marines look tempting too, 4+ invul save and AP3 Bolters. They are a bit pricey, but become Troops if i take a Sorceror with a Mark of Tzeentch. Dissapointed in the Helbrute overall, he is basically just a Dreadnaught that has a chance to go insane when you shoot him, but at least he can get a decent selection of weapons.
Yeah, if you take Kharn too it makes them Troops. Also i think Helbrutes have pretty much the same weapon options that Dreads used to get, as they can still have 2 power fists. I thought you mentioned on tuesday how you thought that they couldn't have that anymore. All in all i think you could still easilly take a World Eaters force. Berzerkers as Troops, Maulerfiends as Heavy Support and fill up all your Elites slots with Helbrutes/Dreads
