die for metal Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I'm considering starting a chaos marine army, and I like the fluff and the look of the word bearers legion. I've read that they do not worship any one specific chaos god, but worship them all equally in a pantheon of gods. So, in game terms, does this mean that word bearers can only take undivided icons/marks, or that they can take any of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nephilim Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Traditionally, they can only take the mark of Undivided. **edit** Brothers stand beside me, there's a battle on Know my words are true There's a battle for true metal They're marching; they're marching on Me and you Ten thousand strong are here tonight With twenty thousand fists up in the air The power of true metal's calling you It's everywhere Yup. Nerd power + metal power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesI Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Fluffwise, Word Bearers would normally have Icon of Chaos Glory, no cult troops or marked characters/princes. Rules wise they can use anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NielsPeter Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I've never considered the Word Bearers had it that bad with the 4th edition codex, but just Chaos Glory and no cult troops is pretty narrow..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you kidding? Word Bearers got extra troop slots. Remember, daemons counted as troops and the Icon of Glory is epic and is often times actually better than fearless.

the jeske Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 best demon bomb there was was WB . very good gunline[more minimax] or infiltration list [extra troop slots to support infiltration units]. WB were up there with BL khorn and IW up at the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeller Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 If the novels Dark Disciple and Dark Apostle are worth anything to you there is a marine squad led by Khalaxis made up of particularly agressive WB. They give into their blood lust so...naturally they're zerkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
