Air defence is a weakness of the World Eaters. Other than fliers, they have none.
You do realize that the second sentence negates the first one,
Frogbear?
Your WE list does *NOT* have a weakness when it comes to "air defence", it simply has access to planes over ground flak; there's no "weakness" whatsoever!

Hence any air defence (being fliers in this case) takes away from their ability to secure objectives. They do not really cause all that much damage. They are a nuissance yes, but not as destructive as the same points taken on a Titan.
I'd *much* rather spend 800+ points on four formations of flyers than a single big Titan; those flyers are far more useful than just being an "annoyance"!
EPIC: Armageddon rates "utility" far above "destructiveness" when it comes to the value of units. In your World Eaters list the aircraft are by far the must useful of the choices in the "1/3" section.
If you really want "air defence" to be a weakness of the World Eaters price their aircraft at a premium as well, not the same cost as the Black Legion list; make taking aircraft a "tough choice" for the list, because, currently, it's a no-brainer.
