Dark Apostle (Warhammer 40, 000 S.)

Product Information

The Chaos Space Marines are set to receive a huge wave of new reinforcements in the near future – not to mention the amazing Daemonkin units in Warhammer 40,000: Shadowspear – so this week, we’re taking a closer look at the Traitor Legions themselves. Give praise to the Dark Gods, as today we’re looking at their most devout servants, the Word Bearers. Who are the Word Bearers? You can’t have more Cultists units in your army’s Chaos Space Marines Detachments than Traitoris Astartes CORE INFANTRY, and a Cultists character can’t be your warlord if your army contains any HERETIC ASTARTES CHARACTER models. This baffling rule prevents you from overdoing it on Cultists, a thing no one is worried about. It makes even less sense with a Cultist HQ, as it seems like an all-cultist army should be possible. Legion Traits

The boy who would become Erebus was born to common parents on the world of Colchis in the late 30th Millennium. Even at a young age he felt it was his purpose to manipulate, deceive, and sow discord among his fellows. He felt a thrill testing his own limits with such immoral acts, which as a boy first manifested in his teasing and torturing of Colchis' desert scorpions. Along with a shiny new miniature, Dark Apostles have been blessed as unholy conduits of the Chaos Gods. In addition to granting their Leadership characteristic to nearby units, Dark Apostles can now chant prayers to inspire their brethren.

That which we foolishly call truth, is only a small island in a vast sea of the unknown. For Man to truly flourish he must be willing to abandon the ever shrinking island of such petty 'truth' and surrender himself to the reality of that which is beyond." Kor Phaeron retreated all the way to the Maelstrom, a turbulent Warp rift similar to the much larger Eye of Terror, where the Immaterium of Chaos seeped through into the material realm of the universe. Like his Battle-Brothers, Marduk swore his eternal enmity towards the hated Ultramarines and everything they stood for.

The Emperor has denied all claims to godhood, but there are other gods, older gods, gods who will hear our pleas and reward our service with more than empty promises and false dreams. In their name we will have our revenge, and the Emperor will regret that He spurned our loyalty in the ashes of Monarchia." As Kharn and Tal were close comrades, Erebus was nearly killed by the World Eater once he discovered the First Chaplain's hand in his friend's death. Erebus was viciously beaten by Kharn before being forced to teleport himself from the World Eaters' flagship, the Conqueror.

Forsaken Punishments

Now that Jarulek was dead and Marduk had risen to the leadership of the 34th Host, he still had to achieve something of worth to the cause of Chaos before presenting himself for approval before the Dark Council on their daemonic homeworld of Sicarus, located deep within the Eye of Terror.
