Warpstone Flux Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
3/5 stars. Reasonable, but not outstanding.
Background.
Line breakers. Carnage. Who else but the World Eaters would have thought to supplement their dreadnoughts with a mechanicum forged bunch of blades that runs quickly to get up close and personal. They are ultimately beasts as judged by their howls as they get close to their targets. Or friends. Its hard to tell.
Strengths.
With a movement rate of 9 inches, the blood slaughterers are relatively quick on the board. The rest of their stat line is good enough and very similar to a boxy dreadnought overall.
They have some blades, but can replace these with a harpoon. The harpoon is worthwhile just to make your opponent I=1 to be honest. The re-roll on the charge is icing on the cake. The blades on the other hand are passable.
Special rules like hit and run and furious charge help the model do what it does best.
Weaknesses.
There's a problem with 2+ armour saves that this model can't do much about beyond rely on its rending rules with the blades. This is unfortunate. And it doesn't have the weight of attacks or brutal to be a massive priority target for your enemy.
Overall.
A reasonable unit, but not an outstanding unit for what it does. There are probably better choices, but it is fluffy!
