Child-of-the-Emperor Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Hey guys, ive returned to 40k after a few years and after much thought decided on Word Bearers. I bought the Chaos Codex the other day and at first was a bit disappointed that theres really only one army list now (unlike the previous editions with each legions having different options) But anyway, was wondering if you guys could help get me started? Any general Chaos Tactica's floating around? Word Bearers painting tutorial? (been a while since i painted!), anything you think i should know? Thanks guys :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/159658-word-bearers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Thane Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Well the forum has a Chaos Space Marines tactica thread i THINK. If you want army composition, a few pointers: 1) H.Q. can be modelled and reflect somewhat an Apostle either by using a suitably equipped Lord or Sorceror 2) Lots of basic CSM's with Icons, backed up with Minor Daemons and a Major Daemon. So probably you have some (or one) negligeably equipped Asp. Champ to sacrifice for the summoning. 3) I'd try to avoid Cult Troops. Possessed, vehicles and the likes shouldn't be a problem though. EDIT: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...howtopic=119253 Should give some pointers!

Dark Disciple Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Welcome to the ranks of the Faithful Brother. The primers in this thread are a good source of information as Magnus Thane suggested. I'd also recommend reading Dark Apostle and Dark Disciple by Anthony Reynolds. One thing to remember is your host doesnt have to be lead by a Dark Apostle on the table top, so dont feel restricted. Inspiration wise I'd recommend having a look for The Dark Apostle or Kikkala's works. Other than that ask questions.

Child-of-the-Emperor Posted February 6, 2009 Author Share Posted February 6, 2009 thanks for the pointers guys.. <_< Im generally pretty knowledgable on 40k fluff, but was looking into some Word Bearer fluff earlier, and cant find much information on the "Dark Council" - anyone got any info on this? And ive just ordered Dark Apostle btw - will hopefully be a good read!

TheDarkApostle Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Regarding the Dark Council the only thing of the top of my head I can name as a source is the Dark Apostle novel. Other than that there's a lot of fan-fiction about it. I've checked the IA for them as well as the 3,5 Ed' 'dex but neither says anything about the Council at all. I assume however that it must have been referenced in earlier works by GW since it's been wildly referenced in fan-fiction even before "Dark Apostle".
