  1. I really like their theme.

    Sometime I interpret Lorgar's ideal of faith is to build hope, despite emperor's personality. In 40k where Law of physics is at best referential, warp magic is considered potential doom to the planet population, and potentially someone damned your soul for eternal.

    Religion might not be an insane idea after all.

  2. I’m oddly drawn to the Word Bearers. I’m completely atheistic but was raised super religious so the whole fanaticism and zeal thing isn’t foreign to me. There’s something oddly comforting about knowing beyond the shadow of a doubt that you’re following the one true path and the Word Bearers exemplify that.

  3. Thanks for covering my favorite Legion, I've always been partial to zealots, and they also have such a damn fine color! And my respect for stating the obvious: Chaos is far more interesting than The Imperium.

  4. "You're such a great god, dad!" "I have told you a dozen times now, I'm not a god!" "Oh, you're so humble! Only a true god would say that!"
    Burns down Colchis
    "Waaaaaah! You're not a god, you liar!" "I literally told you that I'm not a god several ti-" "YOU'RE NOT MY REAL DAD!"
    Jokes aside, both the Word Bearers and the Ecclesiarchy are just 2 more examples of how sci-fi writers really hate religion.

  5. Lorgar making it so human worlds willingly accept imperial law through faith instead of brutally subjugating the populace by slaughtering them until their spirit is utterly broken. Honestly it's funny how the emperor saw himself as a completely logical being and yet acted completely irrational on so many occasions…
