Castrmen Orth Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Hi guys roughly how long before calth did the word bearers change from grey to red? Just wondering as on the ashen circle Minis its grey as it is on kor phareon. Yet red on erebus would a loyalist word bearer army be worth doing as i know they have ashen circle. Obviously on gal vorback for loyalists. Do they have any loyalist characters or troops?

GrandMagnus Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 The Gal Vorbak were the only crimson coloured WB on Isstvan V. After that they all changed.

ChainMachete Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 If you read Aurellian, then that suggests the main body of the Word Bearers started the colour change within days of the Isstvan 5 campaign finishing. I think the Word Bearers in First Heretic were all also in red and that starts at roughly the same time as Isstvan and goes up to just before Calth. And all the Word Bearers that attack Calth in Know No Fear are painted red. Of course the Val Gorbak were crimson well before Isstvan V. My take on it was that as soon as the Word Bearers openly declared for Horus they changed colour as a symbol to represent their turn from the emperor and the betrayal of their brothers in the loyalist legions.

GrandMagnus Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Why did they change? Well, its called "traitors red" so I guess that kind of explains it...
