Word Bearers

This article is a stub. You can help 1d4chan by expanding it

The Word Bearers are a legion of Chaos Space Marines who used to be really, really, really loyal to the Emprah. Like, these guys used to be a church of the emprah. After the Horus Heresy they've become the complete opposite. Now they go around fucking up the emprah's sepulchre planets, relic worlds, and Cardinal worlds, setting up cathedrals to the chaos gods in their places. They are also notable for being the one chaos legion to still have Chaplains, known as Dark Apostles. They're sorta like grimdark Chaos Taliban. Except where the Taliban are noble and heroic, Word Bearers are... less so.

Their hobbies include human sacrifice, prayers to the chaos gods, daemon summoning and occult study.

In Dark Crusade, the Dark Apostle Eliphas leads a warband of Word Bearers to take over Kronus. Awesome ensues.

Their primarch was Lorgar.
