Word Bearers MkVI Tactical Sergeant — The Preacher of Lorgar's Dark Truth
Once known as the Imperial Heralds — servants tasked with spreading the Emperor's light across the galaxy — the Word Bearers XVII Legion were humiliated and broken when the Emperor himself rebuked their devotion. Their faith did not die. It curdled into something far darker. A Tactical Sergeant of the Word Bearers is not merely a battlefield commander — he is a preacher and zealot, his armour inscribed with the runes and scripture of Lorgar's dark revelations, his every act of violence an offering to the Ruinous Powers. Clad in the sleek Mark VI "Corvus" Pattern Power Armour — its surfaces etched with Colchisian cuneiform and daemonic scripture — he leads his squad into battle with a crackling Power Sword and Plasma Pistol, his sermons drowning out the screams of the dying. The Truth is Revealed.
