===XVII Legion: [[Word Bearers]]===

Warlords : Argel Tal / Raum, Erebus, Lorgar, Zardu Layak.

Lorgar's Fundamentalist Fellows.  Have lots of synergy with Daemons (along with specific buffs with the UNNAMEABLE BEASTS), Sacrifice cards, and wholesale buffs to troops. Their unique mechanic is Daemonhost (which is genuinely OP at times), which confers random buffs on a unit. They also have a lot of cards that benefit from sacrificing (not the keyword) other troops to either deal damage, buff your own troops, or summoning daemons. Much like their tabletop counterparts, you'll benefit from having sufficient chaff to act as a screen (or offerings) for your Astartes. They have a lot of synergy with the Chaos neutral deck, including one of their warlords taking an alternate form if half your deck consists of Chaos cards. Another unique feature is that some of their troops have dual troop types, meaning they can get buffs that apply to both. They also get the ability to mitigate maintenance costs for Daemons.

Their LTGB update gave them some more "destroy your troops to gain X" benefits.
