Also don't forget that at the begining of First Heretic, prior to their censure by the Emperor via the Ultramarines, they were Fanatical about the divine nature of the Emperor himself. And lets be fair it's pointed to/alluded to the fact that this led to the creation of the Imperial Truth itself, so that which binds the weak after the events of Istvaan was actually created by the architects themselves. A rather nice cheeky duality I think.<br />To that end you could look toward the Black Templars, also their Rite of War could actually be Prefered Enenmy Xenos?<br />As for the Burning Lore instead of a Consul/Psyker whay not have a Consul/Chaplain. Instead of gaining a Psychic level he could gain zealot for him and any squad he joins or have some kind of zealot command radius? Or you could go back to the Prefered Enemy route and allow for a specific PE choice for him and his squad? <br />Tainted weapon could become 'Sanctified weapon'? They wouldn't use 'Blessed' but you get the idea.<br />Just a few nuggets of thought.Arkangelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09500638121677544326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6171473526147600929.post-80738260814513909312015-02-25T07:07:40.418+00:002015-02-25T07:07:40.418+00:00The legiones astartes (word bearers ) rule is pret...The legiones astartes (word bearers ) rule is pretty good! All the other stuff you list is completely optional, I play word bearers and never used any of it (except Lorgar transfigured) <br /><br />Just dont use those options. Erebus would just be a regular chaplain. Kor is a bit special so if you really wanted to include him he would need some house ruling.

I think most of the benefits would be Leadership related. <br />Could try looking at some of the Leadership specific rules from the Warlord Traits (near objectives, in enemy deployment zone etc) and apply them? Could set it up so you could choose two of them to apply each turn to represent the Chaplain / Captain extolling his Legion why they should be carrying out their tasks in the Emperor's Glory. <br />Otherwise maybe some Black Templar rules could be good?Drake Setahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06997172018989923595noreply@blogger.com
