- In this video, I tell you all about the Word Bearers Units & Rite of War choices in Horus Heresy: The Age of Darkness. I discuss the Word Bearers unique units, and give some tips on how you could use them on the tabletop, as well as talk about how you can use their Ritrs of War to build powerful and flavourful forces!
This is part 2 of a series covering Word Bearers Rules, Units, and Army Builds - like and subscribe to make sure that you don't miss the next instalment, and check out part 1 here:

In this Video... 00:10
Gal Vorbak 00:44
Ashen Circle 05:59
Mhara Gal Dreadnought 15:14
The Dark Brethren 19:32
Last of the Serrated Sun 23:26
Summary 25:40
Excellent video mate - preach The Word!
Bonus thoughts:
> Argel Tal with 10 Gal Vorbak is an absolute mincer of a unit.
> Always take the power fist on one Gal Vorbak in five
> Pair a Mhara Gal with a Leviathan for dreadnought high-jinxs.
> Remember the Ashen Circle are Heavy Infantry ;)
Dark Brethren can also do the supremely narrative thing of making Lorgar WS10. That point in the narrative where he in enthralled with the song of the warp made manifest.
I worked for GW back in the day, I used to love having conversations like this with the regulars.
I've started putting a Warmonger consul with my gal vorbak to deepstrike them in paired with Argel Tal is mental 👌🏼
Another well done summary!
Hope to get more videos from you soon - it has been a while.
Hey just wanted to say I think you have the best channel for HH mechanics and gameplay. I love the perspective of knowing what's powerful and keeping your opponent's fun in mind as well. Really thoughtful. Subscribed a long time ago, but haven't had a chance to express my gratitude for the quality videos!
Side note: really looking forward to your Salamanders coverage. I know they're not the strongest in this edition, but would be cool to hear your thoughts on making them viable against stronger factions.
Hey man, thank you very much that really means a lot! Looking forward to do Sallies myself too, had a lot of thoughts on them over time and think they can do some great stuff!
Second that 👌🏼
Thanks Perry!
Damn, was hoping for death guard. Still gonna watch
Thanks for this bud :-) I just ordered the box and listneing to different people on their ideas for loadouts etc... I am very new to HH plus havent played a big big wargame in years now tbh ha WIll be 3d printing some bits I need like heads, shoulder pads and if need be weapons. Thanks again 🙂
Really enjoying these vids mate. Keep up the good work
Thanks!
RAW a buffed up thousand sons sekhmet unit can match Gal vorbak in combat.
However stacking biomancy buffs is almost certainly not intended and as such the first FAQ will probrably address it
Another note on the Moritat in the unit: You can also give him something lika a Tainted Blade or maybe Tainted Axe (as they cannot get Power Axes themselves anymore, real shame) on top of his pistoles. With the Rad Grenades the unit becomes extremly dangerous and it is less likely that your opponent survives and just runs away because you're Heavy and cannot sweep.
Also the Moritat will give them Scout, extremly good as well.
Heavy means you can’t run and you are -1” to reaction movement based on initiative.Sweeping advance is not affected by the heavy type.
Thank you!
Watched this before but after playing a couple of games this really helped especially with ashen circle which Ive been struggling to do much with. I’m going serrated sun as I want argel tal in my force with a Chaplin & moritat with warpfire pistols. So Spartan for argel & 10 man gal vorbak, Chaplin with a command cataphracti squad from argel in a proteus. Then moritat hanging out with 2 5 man squads of ashen circle. Then 2 squads of dispoilers in rhinos/drop pods with 2 tactical walking up the board with a mhara gal walking up to but not to close lol. Thanks for all the useful advice 😊
Just a heads up the thumbnail is Heavy Assault and Dreadnoughts. Nothing about the Word bearer legion.
Great info as always! Keep up the great work!
Concerning Dark Brethren and IC:
From the IC rules of ongoing effects we figured that we will play it like this:
When an IC is part of a unit that gains a point, the IC will get a point es well.
An IC and the unit he is attached to both use their own point score to determine how big their bonus is (if they have one).
Meaning that an IC switching units will not bring points into another unit and cannot profit from a unit having more points then him, but it does allow to 'level up' the whole unit. Just as if you would cast a pschic power on a unit that contains an IC.
Yep that could be one way of doing it for sure
Now you have to do space marines part 2 - im reading know No fear for the second time so there you have it xd
Great video as always, are we going to get the HQ and character video still?
Powerfist is Str 10 on Gal Vorbak
Have umdone a alpha legion and war hounds aka world eaters video?
i might take Mhara Gal as rewards of treachery unit
That would definitely be on my list!
Great video, and gets me wanting to play a WB army in 30k too on top of my 40k WBs. Do you think people would mind if I used some 40k CSM models for corrupted or veteran units? They're predominantly wearing Mk V gear, and I'm more than happy to paint up some Mk IIIs or the rumoured upcoming Mk IIs for my basic Tacticals/Despoilers.
Yes I think people would mind.
Id ask your local players what they think before investing!
I'm using almost exclusively 40k units for my army. The Word Bearers became very mutated very quickly.
Ward Bearers! WARD BEAVERS 🦫! Spread the truth, brother! Praise the Urizen !
We had one local WB player in the beginning and several others have switched to the Dark Side after all of us got murdered by warpfire and Gal Vorbak within the first month of release. I haven't even seen the other units you mentioned on the tabletop yet... 25 attacks from a 5 man with better statline than command squad terminators... how do I kill this.
I think gal vorbak are great but their weapons let them down vs better melee units. Also they are tough but worse saves…. Theyre very shootable. Better than your average terminators, worse than the best units like cenobium, suzerain, etc etc
I wonder... Would the Alpha Legion trait to ally with anybody allow you to bypass the "No allies" rule for the Last of the Serrated Sun?
Gal'Vorbak question: Would you put the power fist and the warpfire blaster both on the same model or two different models?
I have mine on the same, but I think splitting them is also fine. They both have advantages and disadvantages (last model alive has both things vs easier to snipe) so in the end I did both on one so i only have one model to keep track of!
Think your thumbnail might be off, it's showing me "best Heavy Assault and Dreadnought unit".
Going to say it... the torrent rule is fucking stupid. You should have to line up the template with the direction exactly per the line from firer to template.
Yeh maybe. But i also like the idea that theyre sweeping it through the air too, sort of?
