<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Marks of Chaos"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/31.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Marks of Chaos
The reason I'm asking is that I want to do a word bearers army and want to remain close to the fluff for them whilst also acknowledging that marks of chaos are too good to ignore.

Thanks

So no marks on Word Bearer units as a general fluff rule.


That said, you could run models with marks and just say the Word Bearers have invoked the blessing of X god for this battle. and will revert back to their unmarked position after the battle.

Just make sure the marks are indicated somehow. Like a base that just follows the unit around that has the mark on it, just for you and your opponent's benifit. That way you can paint them up in Word Bearers colors, and still use marks. You don't ruin your painting aestitic for the sake of playability.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/483369/4885289.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/483369/4885289.page GMT Marks of Chaos http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/483369/4915541.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/483369/4915541.page GMT Re:Marks of Chaos http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/483369/4915584.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/483369/4915584.page GMT Marks of Chaos

Actually new fluff indicates they follow all chaos gods as a pantheon, but revere one of them with manic fervour. So you could just say that each unit you give a mark just worships that god more than the others. pg13 of the codex


They have always said they worship the Gods as a pantheon, even in earlier editions. I used to play chaos space marines for years and i have to say: ''if it's undivided, it's undecided''. so just leave your colors as the warband and as Grey Templar said, do something like make bases. I remember i would just put a color coated die next to the squad. It still makes sense to have marks and people have changed their worship, but only if its undivided. being undivided is different than selling your soul to one single ruinous power. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/483369/4916023.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/483369/4916023.page GMT Marks of Chaos http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/483369/4917917.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/483369/4917917.page GMT Marks of Chaos http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/483369/4923469.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/483369/4923469.page GMT Marks of Chaos BL trilogy. They clearly have dedicated parts of their host. At least one of the closest lieutenant of the dark apostle is clearly dedicated to Khorne. I don't see why specific part of the bearers should not be dedicated to a specific god.

I do not see these guys changing marks though.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/483369/4923563.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/483369/4923563.page GMT Marks of Chaos
Having a squad with a mark in a word bearers army makes perfect sense to me.

Just because a legion/force is undivided it does not mean that it isn't possible for them to have a mark or favour a particular god. A prime example is in the Storm of Iron book, this centres around a Iron Warriors force invading an imperial world, they have units of bezerkers (I understand they are not undivided.) and also some of their higher up commanders and other groups clearly have marks of worship a particular god, one in fact is very much in the service of Khrone.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/483369/4924295.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/483369/4924295.page GMT Marks of Chaos http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/483369/4924775.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/483369/4924775.page GMT Marks of Chaos

They worship mostly one god as most legions BUT the difference is that they do not defy the other three gods. Lets give an example: A World Eater will always hate a follower of Slaanesh and Tzeentch and vice cersa. The Word Bearers are different. They aknowledge the strenght of every single god and praise each of them. However they are always free to chose a path.


Basically this.

Well said The Observer ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/483369/4924785.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/483369/4924785.page GMT Marks of Chaos ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/483369/4924837.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/483369/4924837.page GMT Re:Marks of Chaos http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/483369/4926089.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/483369/4926089.page GMT Re:Marks of Chaos http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/483369/4927693.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/483369/4927693.page GMT
