Prophets of the Blighted Path

The Phropets of the Blighted Path are a Chaos warband drawn from the Word Bearers Traitor Legion who currently resides within the Screaming Vortex, located in the Calixis Sector, a known haven for Chaos renegades and heretics. It is one of the zones within the region known as the Great Warp Storms, which takes the form of a vast, seething cauldron of empyreal energies, every bit as intense as those that spew from the Eye of Terror and the Maelstrom.

Warband Colours
Like the Traitor Legion of which they were a part, the Word Bearers, the Prophets of the Blighted Path's Power Armour is the same colour of spilt blood, a colour often called "Traitor's Red" or "Betrayer's Red," after the Word Bearers changed their colours from slate grey to red during the Horus Heresy. This colour is sometimes worn with black or silver trim. Heretical prayers are inscribed directly into the surface of the Phophets of the Blighted Path's battle plate. Often times the Prophets of the Blighted Path's Space Marines are also seen wearing devotional prayer sheets hanging from their armour's shoulder plates -- the blasphemous words of the Book of Lorgar inscribed upon them.

Warband Badge
This warband typically adopts the symbol of the Word Bearers Legion, the Latros Sacrum, a stylised representation of a roaring, horned daemon's head wreathed in flames, which represented all that the XVII Legion stood for, all that they believed in so deeply and all that they were willing to kill and die for.
