Pazuzu Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Hi all, I was wondering if anyone knew when the Word Bearers started using this symbol? Did they use it Pre-Lorgar during the early years as Imperial Heralds? Not sure if this lore exists or not... Thanks!

Goonbandito Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Can't say I've ever heard anything about, other than the flame over the book was their pre-heresy logo. Though given they were known as the Iconoclasts even before they were known as the Imperial Heralds, I'd say there's a fair chance that's where the logo originated (ie their inclination to burn all things to do with sorcery/witchcraft/superstition/religious dogma etc that didn't conform to the Imperial Truth).

heshman Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 What Goon states been my assumption as well, though have no way of proving it in fluff. Actually starting to wonder when the daemon pads will arrive...

Actually starting to wonder when the daemon pads will arrive... If they even bother doing them, I reckon it will be when they do the Shadow Crusade book, so a long time away. Which is a pity because I love the moulded pad look and have had to use transfers on my Word Bearers Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/324742-word-bearers-book-and-flame-symbol/#findComment-4467644 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is a pity because I love the moulded pad look and have had to use transfers on my Word Bearers Wish I'd started with the transfers. I chose to use the shoulder pad upgrades, and whilst they look great, they take ages to paint properly. Seems to take me longer to do the shoulder pad than the rest of the marine put together.
