So as the group has been bouncing back to 40k recently I have dusted off the blue and white and returned to my Pre-Heresy World Eaters (using BA rules). I've been trying to come up with a sweet spot list like my old Steel Talons, but I find I'm hamstringing myself by trying to go fluffy. Ah well, as much as I'd love to win 'em all, it's fine to just win most ;).
So far the core of most of my lists have been 2-3 big squads of Assault marines w/ fists and a couple of meltas or flamers w/ a Fist. A couple of Battle Champions (Sanguinary Priests) to ride along with them and make them better than some basic marines is another staple. As a little anti-tank I usually throw in a couple Attack Bikes with Multi-Meltas. Aside from that there've been a lot of changes. Pretty much 1-2 more killy units, either Terminators or some Berserkers (Death Company). For HQs I've been running with either my beloved Captain Ehrlen (who counts as a Reclusiarch), Angron (using the Sanguinor's rules), or Astorath... who does not have a World Eaters counterpart as yet, but sometimes I want to run a few squads of Berserkers.
Took Angron's lads to Ardboyz with some fairly mixed results, and a list that I do not love. I went 2/1 only losing to the eventual winner of the tournament. 1st round was against some Tau who weren't that great and tabled them, fought some tyranids who exposed my biggest weakness as an army (fighting foot close combat troops) and tabled me. I then finished by tabling an ork army w/ a goodly number of nobs and Killa Kans.
Actual Battle Reports to come later
