Trying to make a decent word bearers list with the new codex is a brave thing to do, but if fun its youre after then its not too hard.

The most glaring issue with the list is that big squad of possessed. They soak up such a huge amount of your points and in all honesty arent that good. Their random powers make them virtually unusable tactically. Dropping them would be a step in the right direction. Replace them with more CSM and demons, terminators or a couple more defilers.

In both your CSM squads you NEED 2 special weapons and an IoCG, with the icon taking precedence. Its too easy to break a squad of CSM without an icon. Once you have that covered then both the squads need to have 2 meltas each, because you are quite low on anti-tank.

The dread and the defiler, being your only two vehicles of any substance, will eat all the AT fire on your first turn and die. You either need to get more of them or take them out and add some terminators.

If you re-arrange your list and find you have an extra 100pts to spare think about getting a greater demon that can take advantage of your cheap champions.

Word Bearers are the legion that took the biggest hit when the latest codex came out. Thier bread and butter units (CSM and Demons) became much worse and nothing substantial was offered up to replace them. Currently it is almost impossible to build an effective, yet fluffy, word bearers list. As you as you understand this then you probably will keep having fun.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231809/590914.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231809/590914.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231809/590993.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231809/590993.page GMT CSM champions. They really arent worth the points and you risk killing one of your valuble sacrifices. The meltas are essential because you dont have sufficent anti-tank. One squad of havocs and a dread isnt enough. Melta Guns will also help you to kill MCs and can one-shot Nob Bikers]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231809/591491.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/231809/591491.page GMT
