krystalmesh Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Hey everyone, I am a long time player of Death Guard (I would say since 01-06) but I had dropped out of the scene for a while. I have always wanted to do a Word Bearer army and have had army lists for years. I have only now finally decided to get back into gaming and really want to get this WB army going. I picked up the most recent codex and have noticed that there isnt a WB section anymore. Am I missing something? Or do WB armies only count as undivided armies now with now special rules (chaplains, accursed crozius, cultists, etc) I do know that deamons have been separated into their own codex which I am fine with, I have never really played the deamon card much anyways, at least not in my death guard armies. I was just wondering if someone could shead some light on this for me - if its my own oversight or if the WB's are now just a basic Chaos army. Thanks everyone for your help, I really appreciate it.

killersquid Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Your not pigeion holed to play legions in a specific way anymore. The whole codex is open to you, to play word bearers anyway you want.

Yogi Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 WB are now a colour scheme.. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/195618-word-bearer-returningsome-questions/#findComment-2329222 Share on other sites More sharing options...
minigun762 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 WB are now a colour scheme.. +1 to that. For the most part, what makes an army a WB army vs anything is self inflicted choices to appeal to the fluff of the last codex. This means using Daemons, no Cult Troops etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/195618-word-bearer-returningsome-questions/#findComment-2329241 Share on other sites More sharing options...
krystalmesh Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 I kind of though that was the case. So the use of chaplains (dark apostles) cultists, and that awesome crozius is no longer available to us any longer? Thats a shame.

Zentor Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Pretty much, may the Word be with you anyways though! lol Z Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/195618-word-bearer-returningsome-questions/#findComment-2329417 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexington Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I kind of though that was the case. So the use of chaplains (dark apostles) cultists, and that awesome crozius is no longer available to us any longer? Thats a shame. Well, making a Dark Apostle with the new Codex actually isn't difficult at all - just give your Chaos Lord the Mark of Tzeentch and a Power Weapon, and you're set! All the effects of an Imperial Chaplain, replicated. Yes, it's 'counts as,' but that's the name of the game anymore.

Dark Mechanicum Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Friend plays WB: He uses Icon of Chaos Glory only, Daemon Weapon for his chaos lord, a DP with Warptime, Possessed because WB had the first of them. Its fun to watch him fight and to borrow to fight with.

krystalmesh Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 I do think I am going to attempt to go forward with the army anyways, as I have been telling myself I would for roughly a decade now. I would have just liked the added WB-ish factor of the front line of cultists charging, and the apostle weilding that crozius. not to mention that demagog ability they once had. But I will try that mark of T you had mentioned Lexington, I hadnt thought of that at all. Definately going to run possessed - looking forward to that actually. Anyways thats a lot for the responses, the help is greatly appreciated.

Your army will never be "just a basic Chaos army" if you have a vision that you work with during the different stages of your hobby. Of course you should make that cool acccursed crozius, and rightly use it as a daemon weapon - because that's exactly what it is. Good luck! I'm sure you will have a great time with the best of legions! Check this discussion to understand more what I mean: just click the link.
