Warhammer 40k | Word Bearers

“Speak the truth, even if your voice shakes.“ The Word Bearers, originally known as the Imperial Heralds, were the XVII Legion of the original twenty Space Marine Legions. They were the original of the nine Legions which betrayed the Emperor, becoming the first known Chaos Space Marines, their allegiance pledged to their Primarch Lorgar and to Chaos as a whole. Known for their extreme religious fervor even before their conversion to Chaos, they are some of the most fanatical Chaos Marines, notable for using Dark Apostles (a corrupted version of Space Marine Chaplains) to inspire their Marines and their cultist allies in battle.
