	Anakatis Kul Blade Slaves: Layak's backup dancers who must remain with him at all times. For an extra 100 points, you get a pair of 3-wound combat monsters with Daemon, Rage, and IWND, with the only thing really holding them back being their 3+ armor save. They wield plasma pistols and the Anakatis Blades - AP3 Specialist weapons (so no +1 attack from the pistol) that gain AP2 anytime they roll a 5 or 6 to wound AND each unsaved wound inflicts two wounds that must be saved against separately (akin to Gets Hot! it's 2 autowounds that allow armor saves). However, if Layak is ever slain or removed from play they go nuts and try to charge the nearest Infantry or MC they can reach, focusing on whichever nearby unit has the most models in base contact with it - including your own units. If you go with these guys, either make sure to keep Layak alive or ensure that the Blade Slaves are closer to the enemy than they are to your own troops. The biggest downside of the Blade Slaves is the fact that you will have to fork out a transport cost for them & Layak, so while powerful these guys are going to be very expensive to use. The guys are also Chosen Warriors. Curiously, unlike Gal Vorbak, who are in perfect control of their transformation, minds and bodies, these quote Mindless Killers end quote do, in fact, get Legiones Astartes (Word Bearers). Does this mean that the Beloved Sons lost LA due to Brilliant Forgeworld Editing or that the Blade Slaves gained it by mistake?

	His two backup dancers, the Anakatis-Kul Blade Slaves, are much better bonuses than his unique psychic discipline. They are a pair of Gal Vorbak with all the same rules but with lower movement and leadership, and gaining S6 in return. They are armed with Plasma Pistols and Anakatis Blades, which are Power Swords that lose Rending and gain Murderous Strike(5+) and Brutal(2) for molly whopping power armour and putting the fear of the Chaos Gods into automata. Note that unlike last edition, Layak isn't required to stay with his slaves, so nothing prevents you from putting him behind a Spartan with a Deathstar inside, embarking on turn 1 and riding off into the sunset.

	'''Zardu Layak''' (also known as the '''Crimson Apostle''', '''Thrice-Born''', '''The Binder of Souls''', and '''The Voice of the Unspeaking''') was a [[Dark Apostle]] and leader of the Unspeaking Chapter of the [[Word Bearers]] during the [[Horus Heresy]].

	So where did Zardu screw over Lorgar? Well, he saw how Lorgar would use the Chaos powers to fulfill his own goals and began to doubt whether Lorgar's actions really aligned with the desires of the Ruinous Powers. When Lorgar attempted to enact his plan at Beta-Garmon, Horus had already been tipped off by a mysterious woman named Actaea, so Lorgar was immediately attacked before he could unleash his psychic assault and Zardu freed Fulgrim from his magical bindings instead of siccing him on the Warmaster. A furious Horus proceeded to [[FAIL\|beat the living shit out of Lorgar]] and told him that he would kill him if he ever saw him again. Lorgar took his legion and went home, but Layak and the five thousand members of the Unspeaking opted to join Horus and participate in the Siege of Terra. After this, Layak became a member of Horus' inner circle, giving the Warmaster advice and spiritual counsel and becoming known as the "left hand of Horus". First Captain Ezekyle Abaddon was displeased by this, believing that Layak's influence was to blame for Horus' increasing disinterest in the war effort and his corruption by Chaos. Abaddon even threatened to kill Layak, only for Horus to personally order him to leave the Word Bearer alone. Despite all this, Layak developed a habit of following Abaddon around like a weird-looking puppy, exasperating the First Captain to no end. When Abaddon finally confronted Layak, the Dark Apostle explained that Horus was dying due to the Chaos gods mainlining him with Warp mojo and that the Ruinous Powers had already chosen his successor: Abaddon himself. Layak therefore saw it as his duty to protect the future Chosen of Chaos.		So where did Zardu screw over Lorgar?
