Hey guys,
A few modelling Ideas here and there have lead to me considering Word Bearers as my next project.
I've played about and made a list to make best use of the conversions I have in mind, while being able to at least hold its own in friendly games, as just because I'm not being competitive, doesn't mean I want to lose!
So, I'd appreciate any advice on the following list.
One quick note, I haven't included any Marks in the list, as my inner fluff bunny took over. I'd like to see it mark free despite a couple of glaringly obvious uses for them in the list. Am I crazy to not use them? I don't know, hence why I'm here.
Chaos Space Marines 2000Pts
Chaos Lord (Lord Apostle) 197
Terminator Armour
The Black Mace
Power Axe
Sigil of Corruption
Meltabombs
Veterans of the Long War
Dark Apostle 135
Burning Brand of Skalanthrax
Veterans of the Long War
8 Possessed 208
10 Chaos Space Marines 235
2x Plasma Guns
Power Sword

Chaos Predator 115

The Lord and Possessed ride up in the Land Raider, and the Apostle leads the fearless Cultists (Which feel wrong without the Mark of Khorne, as well as the Possessed (see above)) with Dirge Caster support from the Rhinos when charging.
CSM Squads provide some Anti-MEQ. Champions bear Power Swords purely because I want to be able to beat Tactical Sergeants in challenges.
All Cultists are Pistol and CCW for conversion purposes.
I know the list suffers from One-Raider Syndrome, but hey, if I go competitive I'll add more.
Part of me wants to swap out the Predators for Suicide Melta Terminators, but well.. yeah. The Predators are the part of the list I am most happy to change.
So guys, Any advice?
