[[Imagefile:Bearing the Word (Paul Dainton).jpg|thumb|right|A [[Daemon World]] ruled by the Word Bearers]]
From the [[Daemon World]] of [[Sicarus]], Lorgar watches over his Legion and orchestrates the vast corruption from within that the Imperium suffers at the hands of his cults and covens. Unlike many of the other [[Traitor Legions]], the Word Bearers have remained a unified, if loosely organised, military force, the main ruling body of which is known as the [[Dark Council]], which rules in Lorgar's absence.{{Fn|6}}
From the two primary bases of the Legion, [[Sicarus]] and the factory-world of [[Ghalmek]], located within the Maelstrom, the Word Bearers launch twisted wars of faith against the Imperium. On each world they attack, they incubate a seed of heresy that will one day contribute to their ever-expanding web of cults. Sometimes , however, this brings them into competition with the efforts of the [[Alpha Legion]]. Though the [[Alpha Legion]] and the Word Bearers have united several times to take part in the [[Black Crusades]] of [[Ezekyle Abaddon]], they are more usually in states of bitter division and rivalry. However, these things are but distractions as their war against the Imperium of Man is total, and they do not intend for it to end until every icon of the Emperor lies shattered at their feet.{{Fn|1}}
