Right, Words Bearers or Something else

[shengami]

Been thinking about building a Chaos army with the 5e codex. I want to do Chaos Divided, i.e. a good solid Chaos army with some cult influences, mainly Slaanesh and Khorne.

I know I want to do a solid troop core, my Iguard tendencies shining through. Was wondering if Word Bearers would suit my purposes. Also, I was thinking of doing a Renegade legion if that didn't word. I don't know. What's the viability of these options?

By basic idea right now was
Daemon Prince of Khorne
Chaos Lord/Dark Apostle
2x csm w/Meltas and ML
2x Berserkers w/champion and rhino
2x plague marines w/rhino
2x chosen (maybe) w/IoT
1x raptors w/IoS
Obliterators
lots of rhinos

IDK, let me know what you think.

I decided to do my own Renegade Chapter called the Blood Dragons, a founding of the Blood Angels, and do a strongly themed Khorne army. Cause, more than the DA, the Ba are definitely Khornites waiting to happen. Anyway, I wrote some fluff and thought a bit more about an army. Still, for the army, I wanted some input from people on an effective, efficient, and competitive Khorne army.

FLUFF
An experiment by the Ministorum to found a Blood Angels Successor chapter without the curse by combining the geneseed of Sanguinus with that of Vulcan. They hoped the steady temperate nature of the Slamander's Primarch might counteract the curse. For the first century of their existence, it seemed to work. Their fall, however, was rapid and sudden. 200 years ago, the Chapter's homeworld of Ko'Rall was beset by an ork horde, the Blood Dragons rallied to the defense. It went well for the first month, but the infestation persisted and the marines were driven back to their Fortress Monastery. The embattled marines sent for help to their parent chapter. It came too late.

It began in the nights, when they gathered to pray for salvation: whispers of strength, vitality, and vengeance. Subtle insinuations of their abandonment by their cousins. Brothers began to fall to soemthing very much like the Black Rage, the Sanguinary Priests feared the Black Rage had activated as was about to destroy their chapter. Brothers defending the walls would fly into berserk rages and fling themselves into battle. In truth, a Greater Daemon of Khorne, The Reaver, was tempting them for his master. They fell.

Months after the distress call, the Blood Angels arrived to relieve their cousins, but found only carnage and betrayal. Ork caracsses, mutilated and butchered, were strewn across the battlefield beneath the Fortress, their heads severed and piled in crude worship of Khorne. The Fortress was burnt out and the chapels desecrated with Chaos markings. In the great hall, the corpses of the tenth company and the chapter chaplains were found exsanguinated, and a message written over and over on the walls int their blood: "Why didn't you save us?" The Blood Dragons, fueled by fear, hatred, and the Red thirst were east prey for the Reaver.

The Chapter fled to the edges of Imperial space, where it nurtures its growing hatred and resentment of the Imperium and its love of their savior, Khorne. They willingly slaughter in his name. Many of their numbers are little more than berzerk warriors let loose at the time of battle by the few remaining sane brothers and the Sanguinary Priesthood. They know they are doomed, as more fall to the berserk fury each year, but they revel in it now. More, led by their Priests of the Dark Blood, they vent their fury on an uncaring universe. Blood for the Blood God! Skulls for the Throne of Skulls!

end of Fluff

So, what does everyone think? I have an idea for the color scheme as well. The chapter symbol is a Bloody Spear. Their armor will be black, fading to red on the right leg and arm. The right pauldron will be bright red, trimmed in green, with the symbol. The right pauldron, the sign of chaos or Khorne. I want to mix bits from regular marine sets with Chaos sets to represent that they are still shifting their appearance.

Hm, Finally got hold of a codex and tinkered this army up...

-----

Daemon Prince of Khorne - 120

CSM x5 (Asp w/PF and Combimelta, Melta, Rhino with combimelta) - 180

Zerks x 8 (SkullC w/PF, Rhino w/combimelta) - 233
Zerks x 8 (SkullC w/PF, Rhino w/combimelta) - 233
Zerks x 8 (SkullC w/PF, Rhino w/combimelta) - 233

It comes out to 999 and is my idea for a 1000 point force to start this army. Love some comments and some suggestions for a solid 500 point expansion to get once I have the cash. Hm, Prince has no wings, wonder how to fit that in somehow... I feel I should put 8 in each zerk squad, but would seven be viable?

Thats fairly good fluff, thought I think it is always good to have a mortal leader as well as the daemon, if you write fluff he will genrally the middle path, between the Imperial "sanity" and bezerk rage.
