Bearing the Word

Not long ago, I looked at my CSM army - and what I saw was not what was my idea of chaos, sooo... I borrowed spray-gun from friend and suddenly all marines were equally red.
Yup - I started to paint Word Bearers, and of course it means some conversions :D
Firstly I needed a leader - so started my Dark Apostle project:
This is effect of first few hours of work - still needs more time. For now only ready element is back pack. (magnetized, so it can be changed to wings)

And one thing I want to say from the start - WB are quite unplayable on current codex, and I will mostly play it on Crusade tournaments, organized by Liwan in Warsaw, which has special rules for Cult and known Legions of Chaos. When it's clear, I see no reason to hide that there are moments when You want to win a game or two, even when playing with skilled gamers. So my Word Bearers will have some Blood Angels formations and 'cause I need fluffy reason for that, I have made some story.
The 175th Host of Word Bearers was blessed with gifts of the Chaos Gods in more direct way that most Hosts. Some of most Zealous brothers, are blessed by all Four: Slaanesh makes them agile in assault, Nurgle makes them immune to wounds caused by weapons of mortals, Khorne grants these warriors with fighting instincts, and Tzeentch gifts them with a blessed madness.
And I will use concept of Acolyte a bit more than it was revealed in books: There is a group of chosen of Dark Apostle, from which he will take one for his successor.
