Support

Allies

A Word Bearer army may be accompanied with by the following allied troops chosen from the Chaos Codex: Khorne Bezerkers, Noise Marine, Thousand sons and Plague Marines. The reason for this is that only very rarely will the Word Bearers call for aid from these troops who bear specific marks of Chaos. Also, if your opponent agrees before the battle, you may choose allied troops from the Chaos Cult army list and Imperial Guard. You may ignore the command structure, as many officers will have been "purged" long ago, but neither are you allowed to use reserves and pre-battle barrages.
