Hey Dakka Dudes,

Do Word Bearers have chaos marines the side slightly with one of the four gods?

They might do...
I mean...
Word Bearers are fanatics for Chaos Undivided.
Though some of their members may have strayed from this...
They probably aren't still with the main legion anymore...

Yeah they have cult troops. They all love all of chaos, but certain ones are devoted more to one god than another

In the Dark Apostle series the was a time when Marduk seen the marines that favored Khorne to the front line to stop the emeny.

And theres your answer

But later he should hatred for one of his fellow Apostles for siding with Khorne.

Wasnt korne it was to his apprentice, but yeah they diffrent lesser cult things that stray to the four great gods of choas but dont just worship the one

I think its different with Apostles because they're supposed to be heralds for the glory of all chaos and not get involved in the silliness that is monotheism

Thanks for the advice.

They're religious fanatics, of course they do.

Well I'd say yes. The Black Legion is undivided but still is shown with plague marines, sorcerors, noise marines, and berzerkers. Some marines may just choose to walk down a specific gods path I'd guess. I don't see why the Word Bearers can't.

To answer the topics question: Yes. Pretty much everything in 40k can be called "fanatical".

I know 40k is all about fanatics with guns trying to prove who right.I a giant allegory for religion in general.What I wanted to know if they where fanatics for Chaos undivided, instead for just one god.Thanks for the help, hope to you guys later.

True Word Bearers align with no single God and despise those who do.

Sure, they'll have tag along warbands and mortal fanatical traitors, but there aren't any Word Bearers cult troops. They venerate the Pantheon, basically like a fifth Chaos GoD, so they're as zealous and as fanatical as any who follow one God.

Likely the Dark Apostles will even ally with mono-god Legions and warbands, but they're beneath the Word Bearers and are seen as weak for believing that one is greater and deserves more admiration and worship than the others.
