The Word Bearers are amazing no doubt. Never should they be underestimated because they have stayed united through everything. They command cultist armies that are massive beyond reason and their arsenal of weaponry is formidable (Defilers, Daemons, Undivided Sorcerors). For Gods sake they still have two Abyss class capital ships in their fleet. The Word Bearers themselves are also badass warrior fanatics as it stands.

As for their overall dangerousness they just aren't the most. With the Heresy they started a war they were never meant to lead. The Black Legion is currently swinging around in Black Stone Fortresses and a Planet Killer. I would say despite all their power they are slightly under the Black Legion and Alpha Legion though in an open fight they probably are stronger than the Alpha Legion.
