Product detailed description
| Battlefield Role | Unique Features | Difficulty | Player Tip |
|---|---|---|---|
| Light assault infantry and cultist support used to claim space, hold objectives, screen key units, and support the main Berzerker assault. | Chemical stim tanks, paired chainblades, Khornate icons, scarred bodies, brutal cultist styling, and the hulking Dishonoured model within the unit. | Beginner-friendly to intermediate – the models are straightforward infantry, but the skin, weapons, chains, stim tanks, and small details reward careful painting. | Paint the unit in small batches and vary skin tones, scars, tattoos, and metal weathering so the Jakhals look like a savage cult mob rather than uniform soldiers. |
Warhammer 40K: World Eaters – Jakhals
Jakhals are mortal cultists sworn to the World Eaters, driven into battle by chemical stimms, tainted blood, and the need to prove themselves before their Khornate masters. They are not as elite as Khorne Berzerkers, but they bring something just as important to a World Eaters army: numbers, board control, and a disposable wave of violent infantry. On the tabletop, they help claim objectives, screen more valuable units, and create pressure while your true killers move in for the charge. For hobbyists, this is a gritty, characterful kit full of exposed skin, brutal weapons, chains, trophies, and blood-soaked Chaos detail.
Warhammer 40K: World Eaters – Jakhals
- Fanatical World Eaters infantry that adds bodies, board presence, and aggressive pressure to your army
- Characterful cultist models packed with chainblades, stim tanks, scars, and brutal Khornate details
- A strong supporting unit for Khorne Berzerkers, mounted heroes, and close-combat World Eaters forces

Blood-Mad Cultists of the World Eaters
Jakhals represent the mortal followers of the World Eaters – savage humans who have thrown themselves into the worship of Khorne and the service of the galaxy’s most brutal Traitor Legion. They are raw, violent, and far less disciplined than true Heretic Astartes, but that makes them visually and thematically excellent. Their bodies are covered in scars, straps, weapons, stim tanks, and Khornate details, giving each model a distinct personality. In an army collection, they contrast beautifully with the heavier armour of Khorne Berzerkers and other elite World Eaters units, while on the battlefield they provide the numbers and flexibility that a purely elite force can often lack.
Part of the World Eaters Army
The World Eaters are a Warhammer 40,000 army built around aggression, close combat, and relentless pressure. Jakhals fit into this identity as cheaper mortal infantry that support the army’s more dangerous units. They help take up space, hold objectives, screen important models, and create additional threats that opponents cannot completely ignore. They work naturally alongside Khorne Berzerkers, Eightbound, Lord Invocatus, and Angron by giving the army more bodies while the elite killers do the decisive work.
Why Add Jakhals to Your Collection
- Adds useful infantry bodies for objective control, screening, and board presence in a World Eaters army.
- Offers a gritty painting project with skin, scars, chains, metal, leather, blood effects, and Khornate iconography.
- Complements elite World Eaters units by giving your force a more balanced and practical battlefield core.
Where Jakhals Are Useful
- Against elite armies: Against opponents with fewer expensive models, Jakhals help fill the board, hold ground, and force the enemy to spend valuable attacks dealing with cheaper infantry.
- Against shooting armies: Jakhals can screen more important units and create another wave of pressure, making it harder for the opponent to focus only on your elite threats.
- Practical Infantry for a Brutal Army: Jakhals are not the main hammer of a World Eaters force, but they are extremely useful support pieces. They help you play missions, control space, and set up the battlefield so your stronger melee units can deliver the killing blow.

How to Use Jakhals in Game
| Key Element | How It Works |
|---|---|
| Objective holders | Send Jakhals toward mid-board or secondary objectives where they can score points and force your opponent to commit resources. |
| Screening layer | Use them as a cheaper infantry screen in front of more important units so Berzerkers and characters can reach combat in a better position. |
| Board control | In an army filled with elite melee threats, Jakhals add model count and help you control more of the tabletop. |
| Support the assault | They work best as part of the wider World Eaters attack plan, softening the board state and opening space for harder-hitting units. |
Frequently Asked Questions
| Question | Answer |

| What do I need to build them? | You will need plastic glue, hobby clippers, a hobby knife or file for cleaning parts, and paints and brushes to finish the miniatures. |
What to Add Next
| What Next? | Why |
|---|---|
| Khorne Berzerkers | The core assault infantry of the World Eaters and a natural partner for Jakhals in a close-combat army. |

Recommended Next Steps
| Related Step | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Expand the infantry core | Add more World Eaters units to build a force with enough pressure, board control, and close-combat threats. |
| Prepare Khornate colours | Stock up on reds, metals, leather tones, flesh tones, and washes, as these are the colours you will use most on Jakhals. |
