I had Kharn the Betrayer, and 5 tooled up squads of Berzerkers (BErzerker with Mark of Khorne, furious charge, frags and Khornate Chain axes, Asp Champ with Deamon Strength, Talisman of Burning Blood, Power Fist, Furious Charge, Plasma Pistol). He had Ragnar with a wolf lord escort in a Razorback, another Lord in Terminator armour and four Terminators (2 assault cannons, Storm bolters, lightning claws), two squads of grey hunters with bolters, a meltagun, and a couple of power fists, and two squads of Blood Claws.
The mission was cleanse, omega level, and there were a scattering of rubble piles and shattered buildings, but no where near enough for a cities of death kind of scenario.

I placed first so I put a squad in the ruined chapel in the center of the building to force him back. I clustered the rest of my squads around first and put Ole Kharn in there amongst them. He deployed in and around a ruined building, withhis blood claws out in front, his Grey Wolves in the building, and his terminators along the flank.
Turn one, my blood crazed loonies rush out of cover into his line of sight. 4 of my six units had blood rage, of course Kharn being so much faster than the rest ran out infront of the rest. His Grey Hunters, Terminators and those few blood claws that could do so promplty shot one squad out of existence. His Razorback shot Kharn and took a wound off him, thanks to his bold advance far out in front of the rest of the army. The blood claws had advanced, and they charged Kharn and the next nearest unit to them.
Turn two, I was screwed over by my blood rage rules. My northern most squad, who could have charged the terminators, got blood rage and charged towards his blood claws instead. (they were marginally closer).All my squads piled in. One squad of Blood Claws was promptly whittled away to nothing, but the other proceeded to wound Kharn and tie combat with him. I then proceeded to lose the game. My only hope for survival was for my units to get tucked in with the survivng blood claws. I promptly rolled a two and two ones for consolidation when all I needed was 3 inches.
He took advantage of my difficulty and promptly blasted another squad out of existence (rending assault cannons killed seven 'Berzerkers). I retaliated by killing off his Blood Claws, but not before they did for Kharn. ( He has to be the most useless special characer in the game. Nine hits with a power weapon over two turns and he killed one Blood Claw!!!). I consolidated towards him and once again her virtually anhilated a squad. I charged his Gray hunters and killed nine for the loss of four more berserkers, but neither squad broke. He countercharged with his Terminators and then it was a big mess. I wiped out his grey hunters, but then, my last two figures were left standing in the open, where his Terminators, who had been at the other end of the conga line, promptly shot them down. I was wiped out, he had four terminators left, including a wounded lord, Ragnar and his retinue and their transport. I lost by over 600 victory points.
I have only once won a game with worldeaters; without the Rhino Rush, they stink (but I love the Red and Gold).
