Hey guys!

Just as a pre warning, I'm not too bothered about power level! Just more interested in people's experiences etc.

So I absolutely love the word bearers lore. I love Lorgar as a primarch, I enjoy every scene he's In! His primarch novel was also one of my favourites (I know its a conflicting opinion 😅). The way corrupted blade slaves are described really interests me!

I've also started to read the Siege of terra books, and enjoy characters such as Fafnir. I'd also enjoy painting the yellow in a grim dark fashion. I like the idea of Huscarls and Templar Brethen.

What are you experiences like playing into these two legions?? Which do you tend to find more fun to play with and against??

Thanks for any help

Word Bearers. Cool fluff, and they look great. Imperial Fists are (1) yellow, and (2) regarded as a bit OP.

Read my quote about Sigismund in my signature, by the author Aaron Dembski-Bowden.

The Templars are awesome, and Sigismund is a great model too.

If I had the money, I would play the Templars of the Imperial Fists.

Plus the Imperial Fists can use all the toys of the Imperium, including they have the Phallanx, their own personal Death Star... you can't beat that.

I voted for Word Bearers, because you just don't see enough of them and there's so many cool artistic directions you can go with them.

Biggest downside (and it it's pretty damn big) is you have to put up with probably the most hated character in all of 40k-dom, and that's Erebus. Because seriously, feth Erebus.

well, from a purely modelling perspective, aka building WB are better as they can cannibalise the current 40k range of CSM to quite a degree especially late war.

IF are honestly at this stage comparable to Ultramarines in 40k with overrepresentation with an rather unfun ruleset to boot as in "everything you can do i can do better and or equally adequate whilest beeing better in everything else".

It now depends in what direction you wanna go ontop of that seeing as there's some pitfalls in the current HH 2.0 ruleset and core rules for SM.
