Well Guys, I want to write up some house rules for a Word Bearers army because I do not feel that the new codex Does them ANY justice (that and I am currently reading dark apostle and am absolutely loving it!) and so this little set of rules that I will be writing up will be a companion set to the codex chaos demons coming out next month.

Here is what I have so far

Dark Apostle - 175 Points Base
ws bs s t w i a ld sv
6 5 4 4 3 5 3 10 3+

Equipment:
Cursed Crozius (See Below)
Bolt Pistol
Frag Grenades
Krak Grenades
Power Armor

Special Rules:
Fearless
4+ Invulnerable Save
Fiery Oratory (See Below)
Blessing of the Dark Gods (See Below)

Options:
May Replace his bolt pistol with a combi-weapon for +5 points or a plasma pistol for +10 Points
May Take a chaos Bike for +30 points
May Take a jump pack/wings for +20 points
May Replace All Wargear with Terminator armor, a combi-bolter, and a cursed crozius for +30 Points
If he takes Terminator Armor, he may replace his combi-bolter with a combi-weapon for +5 Points

Descriptions:

Cursed Crozius
This Weapon was once a divine weapon wielded with the faith of the Imperium and devotion of the emperor in mind. Now it is a corrupt badge of power wielded by the dark apostles of the Word Bearers legion. The effects of this weapon game wise are all hits from this weapon are treated as a power weapon and grants the user a 4+ invulnerable save. The cursed crozius also counts as an icon for the purposes of daemon summoning and deep striking models.

Fiery oratory
The word of the dark apostle is followed without question not through fear of retribution, but through utmost devotion to the Dark Apostle and a devout belief in what He is and all that He stands for. In Game terms, any word bearers unit joined by a Dark Apostle are fearless and any fleeing unit within 12" and within Line of Sight of the dark apostle at the end of a fall back move will automatically regroup, even if below half strength.

Blessing of the Dark Gods
The gods of chaos have truly honored these unholy warriors for all of their devotion and the uncountable millions of souls that the Apostle has sacrificed in their names. In game terms, a Dark Apostle is immune to instant death.

That is what I have so far guys, what do you think?
