Hey gents,

I'm looking at updating my Word Bearers army to use the Last of the Serrated Sun rite of war. I wanted to post my first draft up for criticism, advice and so forth before I buy anything new. For a start I'm wondering if I shouldn't maybe sub out the Contemptor for something else, at least unless I'm playing a higher points value where I'll have more than a single vehicle. Thanks!
