Come fellow Word Bearers

Ok because I had a talk with Raz, he convinced me that I should start a new Host. (we are going to gamesday together and will do team battle). So I will post my new army as soon as I can. But like I said need to first get a camera. I hope this new army will motivate people.

 

Armylist so far:

 

Terminator Squad with Champion

Possesed Squad

Chaos Space Marine Squad

Dreadnought

Dark Apostel (still in the making) heavy converting like Razakiel. Hope it comes out good.

 

and drop the cheers for hearing the old host, I'm donating it to my hobby center. It wasn't that great anyways. There were no conversions sadly. This armywill be heavily converted.

Is the image located on your computer? I ask because I see desktop in the link's address. If that's the case then none of us can see the image. Umm photobucket is a free place to upload photos. You can do that, copy the address and then repost here.

I need Word Bearer quotes! I am writing a book for Warhammer 40k Heresy era and it will be called "The faithful". It has to do with my current made Dark Apostel, but I am having a major brainstorm and I would like some ideas from you guys.

 

Here are a few i have already:

 

"Upon the field of battle the faithful are strong and the strong always win."

"All wisdom is derived from failure"

"Khorne calls and we answer!!!"

"Illuminate the Unbelievers, for they are weak!"

"Faith is our leader, Hate is our armour, betrayel is our weapon."

"Do you hear that? It's the sound of chaos!"

 

Keep in mind that this is during the Horus Heresy and that my Dark Apostel Gremadus is leading his host against the Loyalists.

Pls let me know what Legion my Dark Apostel should attack in this book.

"Speak the words of Lorgar and you shall live forever in the glory of Chaos. Speak them not and every one of you shall die today." --Kor Phaeron

 

'Give up yourself to the Great Gods in body and of soul. Discard all that does not benefit their Greatness. The First thing to be discarded is the Name. Your Self is nothing to the Gods, and your Name shall be as nothing to You. Only once you have reached Enlightenment shall you reclaim your Name and your Self. Thus spoke Great Lorgar, and thus it was to Be.' - 4th Tenant of the Book of Lorgar

 

'No battle against the Great Enemy is of no consequence.' - Lorgar

 

'Victory attained through violence is victory indeed. But when the enemy turns on itself - that is the essence of true, lasting victory.' - Kor Phaeron

 

"From the fires of betrayel unto the blood of revenge we bring the name of Lorgar, the Bearer of the Word, the favoured son of Chaos, all praise be given unto him. From those that would not heed we offer praise to those who do, that they might turn their gaze our way and gift us with the boon of pain, to turn the galaxy red with blood, and feed the hunger of the gods"

 

Chapter Master Onyxius - here's a few from an old thread I started.

Greetings fellow Word Bearers

 

After bouncing around a few different projects and never completing anything I have decided to make a concentrated effort at painting one army. After flirting with loyalists I have had my heard turned my the glorious forces of chaos. Having being tempted by the Alpha Legion, and the Iron Warriors I have recently fallen in love with the children of Logan. I must admit its partly down to the brilliant models I have seen on this site (such as RazakelXIII's Word Bearers and Dan the Daemons Night Lords/Alpha Legion), which has fulled my mad vision. Now since being married my new wife has complained at the money I have spent on the hobby (and painted hardly anything), so I have set myself a strict budget (unless I win the lottery tonight), however I have plenty of bits, and a real urge to convert so I plan to take my time and try and produce some really cool models. I have also just started to read the Word Bearer omnibus so when I have some free time I plan to pen some fluff for my force. I think I will try and give m force a real monk/crusade theme, without being evil red Dark Angels that it. I also want to eventually include a traitor force, and lots of tanks, and slave daemons, and titans...

 

I will probably post models when I finish them as RL will probably make progress slow but here is a pic of what I have managed so far (an Aspiring Champion and a CSM).

that looks great Centurion! I'm praying to the gods of chaos that you win the lottery and make more models like these. I've personally been a big fan of Razakel and he instructed me to make an army so we can fight together on gamesday. If you ever wanna talk about converting, fluffing or even just Greens stuffing models, just contact me. I helped Razakel with his last Dark Apostel and you can see mine a couple of posts up from this one.

 

Still great work, keep it up!

Welcome Centurion Tom!

 

May the arms of Lorgar enfold you in their great embrace!

 

Great to see more and more people turning to the Word!

 

There are some many wonderful sources of inspiration here: Raz, Tzen, Kizzddougs, Onyx....to name just a few! Look forward to seeing your progress on your host!

 

If you feel you need some inspiration beyond those listed above feel free to check out my Host via the link below...

Great stuff Centurion Tom! The ragged looking cloak really distinguishes the champion as a WB. The MkV and the BT icon on the back are really characterful touches as well.

 

Looking forward to seeing some paint on them :lol:

Thanks for the welcome. No lottery win so will have to continue with my budget. Paint will probably wait till I have a full squad, but I have another 4 CSM's awaiting Word Bearer-ing.

 

Chapter Master Onyxius - Thanks for the offer, I may just take you up on that when I try some more complicated green stuffing. Your models look great btw, I love your Dark Apostle.

After a few months absence Im glad to still see the support for the Word Bearers is strong and this thread still continues!

 

@ Chapter Master Onyxius - You have some smashing models there, mate. Plus if your still looking for some Word Bearers quotes then check out my profile page, I have a bunch of quotes on there.

 

@ Centurion Tom - Welcome to the B&C and the Word Bearers ;)

He looks nice, but you should really try to take clear pictures of the model instead of the background, this picture makes your model look sloppy.

By the way, i think you forgot to paint one side of the combi-bolter <_<

Fellow Bearer of the Word here! Just going to dump some fluff on my Host.

 

The XXII Host and the Diabolus Ex Machina

The twenty-second host of the Word Bearers has ever been a traditionalist group, faithful to the exact word of the Book of Lorgar; and their most recent Dark Apostle, Korvyn Asharr, is no exception. Permitting no deviance within his Host, he refused to allow any exclusive worship of gods in the warriors who followed him. Despite his skill as a religious preacher and formidable cunning, Asharr is not especially imaginative, and as such the Host is not particularly infamous.

The Chaotic Forge World of Ghalmek, deep within the warp storm that is the Maelstrom, was founded by former devotees of the Cult Mechanicus. One of the first ships to land on the surface was the Mechanicum ship formerly known as the Deus Ex Machina, that had once been a part of a Word Bearers expedition force. The ship, now known as the Diabolus Ex Machina – “the Daemon from the machine” – formed the foundation of the structures on the planet’s surface, and as such, the former Word Bearers Techmarines took control of the planet. By the time of the Second Black Crusade, Ghalmek had been established as the Word Bearers’ primary outpost in the Maelstrom and the source of most of their new equipment.

As the 41st millennium begun, the XXII host was growing low on numbers; but Asharr refused to merge with any other host, less they pollute the host with “impure ideals”. At the same time, Lord-Diabolus Animus of the Diabolus Ex Machina – the Word Bearers who controlled Ghalmek, named for the ship that first landed there – required an escort for operations outside of the Maelstrom. This led to the Council of Sicarus directing the 22nd Host to act as escorts for Animus and his subordinates.

From the moment that the two leaders met, there was an immediate clash of mindset. The Dark Apostle’s devotion to unchanging traditionalism contrasted badly with the Lord-Diabolus’s ideals, which embraced the ever-changing, revolutionary power of Chaos. A divide quickly became evident in the host: between those who remain faithful to the Dark Apostle, and those who felt their loyalties swaying to following of the Diabolus. Whilst this conflict has been harmless, it has escalated to the point that the two factions are on the brink of open warfare.

*scoots away*
