That's about it really although I add a bit more detail in spoilers for anyone who hasn't read the novel yet.

Spoiler:
M'Kar was a Word Bearer, Maloq Kartho, who became a daemon prince amd eventually imprisoned within the Star Fort Indomitable by Calgar and the Inquisition because M'Kar was to powerful to banish. When Honsou decided to attack Ultramar M'Kar eneded up bound into an Ultramarine dreadnought.

Did McNeill describe M'kar's appearance?

Also, did the forces of Honsou contain any Word Bearers, or were they all just lost Space Marines?

Thanks for responding.

I wasn't that impressed with the novel and read through it pretty quick and to be honest I found the daemons Vs Calgar chapters pretty boring so all I recall about M'kar is imagining it as a kind of dreadnought/soul grinder mix. It was described but I honestly don't recall much about it

I'll have flick through the book later and see what it says.
