Just really wanted to see if other people agree with me on this bit of lore / logic leap
The Word Bearers worship all of the chaos gods equally.
But there are probably some which lean more towards specific gods while still being part of the Word Bearers Chapter, there are parallels in RL / present day religious with multiple deities, Hinduism being an example but obviously polar opposites on basic tenants!
So I think that there would be Word Bearers with specific marks, hence my Sorcerer or Tzeentch:

And Nurgle (with Retinue)

They are still Word Bearers but just a little more specific,
Now onto Cult Marines / Deamonkin,
The way I look at the lore/fluff Plague Marines and Khorn Berserkers could come from any chapter, the only prerequisite is that they worship the appropriate god, Noise Marines are possibly okay as well.
Thousand Sons are completely out as the lore is that they got ghosted by Ahriman so it is unlikely that they would get any more recruits - I would welcome any other thoughts on this as I would like to have a Tzeentch contingent!
I am kinda in the process of putting together a Khorn Deamonkin army, but it is going to be Word Bearers, they will be chosen from the Khorn Deamonkin Codex and used as an allied detachment / formation to my main WB army so I would have Word Bearer Khorn Bezerkers lead by a Word Bearer Khorn Lord ect.
How do people think this stands lore wise? The Thousand Sons part is a bit of an issue for me but it could be explained that some Word Bearers gave themselves so completely to Tzeentch that they got infected / afflicted with the rubric...
