Last night I had a quick read through the codex and delved into the Word Bearers section of the codex.
The Word Bearers have some nice special rules which I have listed below with some of my thoughts.
Legion Trait: Profane Zeal: You can re-roll failed Morale tests for units with this trait.
Will be handy when looking to hold onto objectives with smaller units and ensuring that they stay in battle longer than their opponents especially as the Chaos Marine Squads only have leadership 7 or 8 with a Champion.
Stratagem: Dark Pact use this when a World Bearers Character attempts to summon a unit of Daemons to the battlefield You can re-roll any of the dice used in the summoning roll, and your character will not suffer any mortal wounds for rolling doubles or triples. Costing 1 command point this will seriously be looked at if I decide to add a force of demons into my growing army.
Warlord Trait: The Voice of Lorgar this increases the range of any aura abilities on your Warlord's datasheet by 3 inches. To be honest this looks a given at the current stage of reading.
The lure of the models could not keep me away for long. Looking at the models in the box this is going to give me a Patrol Detachment which is a nice starting point to my army.
Army List:
Master of Possession 5 Power
10 Chaos Space Marines 8 Power
2 Greater Possessed 8 Power
2 Obliterators 12 Power
1 Venomcrawler 7 Power
Total Power 40 Power
So a nice little starting force that allows some nice flexibilty on the table and some stunning models to paint. Should be more than achievable in the time period.
Don't forget that if you are looking to take part that you can post your pics up on Instagram and Facebook with the hashtag #PaintingWarhammer2020
