The Word Bearers are a legion of Chaos Space Marines who used to be really, really, really loyal to the Emprah. Like, these guys used to be a church of the emprah. After the Horus Heresy they've become the complete opposite. Now they go around fucking up the emprah's sepulchre planets, relic worlds, and Cardinal worlds, setting up cathedrals to the chaos gods in their places. They are also notable for being the one chaos legion to still have Chaplains, known as Dark Apostles. They're sorta like grimdark Chaos Taliban. Except where the Taliban are noble heroes, the Word Bearers are EVUL. Their hobbies include human sacrifice, prayers to the chaos gods, daemon summoning and occult study.
A Word Bearer first chaplain immediately pre-horus heresy named Erebus was pretty much the driving force behind Horus Turning to chaos. Erebus stole a weapon from the Interex which caused them to get all butthurt and blame Horus and the Luna wolves for the theft. All of this took place during the novel Horus Rising, In The next book False Gods Horus and the merry Luna Wolves take a trip to Davin IV during which all hell breaks loose and Horus takes some wounds and comes as close as primarch can to dying (he basically took a nap) Abaddon having as many daddy issues as Horus decided it'd be a good idea to take up a suggestion offered by Erebus to take him to a local temple ran by the serpent worshiping locals where it was said he could be healed. Erebus sent Horus into a trance and basically whispered sweet nothings about chaos into his ear the entire time planting the very first seed of corruption.
In Dark Crusade, the Dark Apostle Eliphas leads a warband of Word Bearers to take over Kronus. Awesome ensues.
Their primarch was Lorgar.
