Today we shall elucidate the 17th Legion of the Adeptus Astartes: The Word Bearers.
Once known as the Imperial Heralds, the scions of Primarch Lorgar Aurelian would enact a holy war across the stars first in the name of The Emperor before falling from grace.
Now the most steadfast disciples of the Chaos Gods, the Word Bearers continue to wreak zealous havoc across the galaxy adorned in the parchments of their appalling creed.

Word Bearers have one of my favourite story arcs in the Heresy series, topped only by the White Scars. A heartwarming tale of Lorgar’s search for the truth of the universe. With such selfless and positive mentor figures as Erebus and Kor Phaeron, you really get the feeling that it will be a happy ending for all involved 😂
God damn it Lorgar…

Lead by the fruitiest, softest and pussified Primatch of them all Lorgar "Where's my make-up kit" Aurelian
"It's called treachery, Roboute. It works quite well. Let the galaxy burn, brother." – Lorgar Aurelian during the Battle of Calth
YES I KNOW THAT THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANGRON OR WORLD EATERS. PLEASE FIRST FULLY READ THIS MESSAGE A FEW TIMES BEFORE TAKING SOME TIME TO UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS SAID BEFORE REPLYING:
After seeing one of the images you used, I now NEED Kratos to be a World Eater! And I'm not talking mature beard Kratos. I want that toxic Greek goatee Kratos!!
And he needs to have some serious issue with Angron about the weakness of submitting to the nails. Which he says as he has Angron, slumped in front of him, and rips the nails out of his head. Then he looks in the eyes of Angron, blade of Chaos in hand and says 'Let me show you true rage! BOY!".
Anyone who disagrees are a hater. Not a WH40K or GOW hater. Just someone with an issue about others being happy and excited.
Are you a hater? Do you want to make people sad? Well dear hater, you have already been doing this for years without ever knowing.
I did not know the history of the Legion prior to their reunion with their primarch, it is extremely interesting they always were zealots or fanatics of some kind, the spots or stripes of their exterior might had changed over time but their core was always the same, whether secular, Imperial or of Chaos they represent that human trait of needing and seeking subjection to a greater power, no matter if it is true or false, because for some being architechs of their destiny and playthings of chance is a fate too terrible to bear.
Faith is the ultimate weapon. Do you have faith Brother? Do You Believe?
I am not a Word Bearer fan but First Heretic and Betrayer have to be my top 3 HH Books.
Worst legion. I Hope Corax will kill them to the last.
Can't wait for Logar to emerge and fight the Imperium. Both Guilliman and Corax have unfinished business with him.
god damn I feel bad for Lorgar. He sees a vision of a god king arrive, it happens, he worships this god king and gets punished for it. Fast forward ten years, and the whole imperium is doing the same thing, while he and his people are outcasts. Biggest mistake the Emperor ever did and it's responsible for the whole heresy
So the art of the Imperial Heralds art that pops up first at 10:18 was actually a commission piece I had done a few years back by a great guy off Instagram. I don't know how or why my comment has not shown up that I made the day this vid came out, very strange. Anyhow nice to know the art has found the spotlight, even for a moment!
the funny part in all this, we have only the word (no pun intended, honest) of Erebus and Kor that Lorgar is alive and well. Can the two biggest liars in galactic history (and that's saying a LOT) be trusted to be telling the truth? Even Pretarabo and Angeron and Fulgrim put in a few massacres after the Horus Heresy. Lorgar though, completely AWOL. That's more than a little sus. Then comes the matter that Erebus and Kor are both among the most infamous snakes and backstabbers in human history, both of them having often said the legion would operate much better if Lorgar was out of the way. Who is to say that Erebus hasn't been running the greatest scam since the Heresy itself, having murdered or imprisoned the primarch, then using Lorgar's name and reputation for his own ends? The Word Bearers legion is a legion all about self deception and misguided fanatics ..so what's one more betrayal and deception to those two fork tongued bastards?
Damn Emperor should have just told the Primarchs about Chaos from the beginning. Magnus, Lorgar, Horus, Mortarion, Fulgrim and even Alpharius ALL underestimated Chaos and fell into its lure because they had no idea, no preparation, no point of reference.
The Emperor was a hypocrite. He preached "truth" to the point of openly punishing, subjugating or exterminating anyone who stood against truth but then keeps secret after secret and pushes lie after lie.
The Horus Heresy ALWAYS comes back to the Emperor's flaws which indeed prove that he is no god. Only a human can be as arrogant, prideful, naive, ignorant and overconfident as he was. If he WAS a god, he'd be the god of Hubris
BUT, each traitor primarch were also responsible for their own fall. Every one was warned at one point or another to turn back, but they all had the same stubbornness as their "father" and passed their points of no return, perhaps not fully aware of what they were doing but still cautioned nonetheless.
Lorgar hasn’t been seen because he has spent 10,000 years hiding from corax who slapped him out even after he ascended lol
Argel Tal did nothing wrong.

Used to really dislike the word bearers but then I listened to first heretic and they are easily in my top five such a good legion and can’t deny I really like lorgar to
Lorgar: Well after mulling it over for about ten thousand years, i've decided, that betraying everyone i loved and every principle i held just for the sake of being right on one particular subject, and latching onto the first group of deities i found, taking their every word as gospel, and stabbing Angron, the one person who still gave a damn about me, in the back, damning his soul for all eternity, being a massive hypocrite, and deluded with ideas of my own grandeur… was all completely justified. time to go double down, and massacre millions
Corax: Aight bet. do it pussy
Iconoclasm 🤢🤢🤮
Based Orthodoxy 😎😎😇
