Rules
Armour of Contempt: Each time an attack is allocated to an ASTRA MILITARUM VEHICLE, ADEPTUS ASTARTES, SANCTIC ASTARTES, HERETIC ASTARTES or ADEPTA SORORITAS model, worsen the Armour Pe*******on characteristic of that attack by 1.
This rule does not apply to any of the following:
• Models equipped with a storm shield, a relic shield or a combat shield (or a Relic that replaces one of these shields).
• Models with either the Sacresant Shield or Force Shielding ability (Celestian Sacresant and Nemesis Dreadknight units).
• Models that are under the effects of any other rule that worsens or reduces the Armour Pe*******on characteristic of an attack.
Brotherhood of Sorcerers: If your army is Battle-forged, THOUSAND SONS units in THOUSAND SONS Detachments gain the following abilities
- Add 1 to Psychic tests taken for this unit.
- If this unit is ARCANA ASTARTES or TZAANGOR, each model in this unit has a 5+ invulnerable save.
Selection Rules
Cabbalistic Rituals: If every unit from your army (excluding UNALIGNED units) has the THOUSAND SONS keyword, your army becomes a Cabal of Sorcerers. At the start of your Psychic phase, generate Cabal points for your army for each model with this ability that is on the battlefield. 13 generated per turn, 9 for units and 4 from Icon of Flame
In your Psychic phase, you can spend any Cabal points you have to use Cabbalistic Rituals. Each time you do, reduce the total amount of Cabal points you have by the amount shown. At the end of your Psychic phase, any unspent Cabal points are lost.
In your Psychic phase, unless otherwise specified, you can use each Cabbalistic Ritual once, and each unit from your army can only benefit from one Cabbalistic Ritual. A unit can only benefit from a Cabbalistic Ritual if it has that ability.
Malicious Volleys: Instead of following the normal rules for Rapid Fire weapons, models in this unit shooting Rapid Fire weapons make double the number of attacks if any of the following apply:
- The shooting model's unit is within half the weapon's range.
- The shooting model is INFANTRY and its unit Remained Stationary in your previous Movement phase.
- The shooting model is a TERMINATOR.
For the purposes of this ability, a Rapid Fire bolt weapon is any bolt weapon with the Rapid Fire type. Rapid fire for double shot at half range, so 1 at 24" and 2 at 12"
Sorcerous Master: Each time a psychic power is manifested by this unit, each time this unit would attempt to perform a psychic action, and each time this unit would Deny the Witch, measure distances and draw line of sight from this unit's Aspiring Sorcerer or Scarab Occult Sorcerer model. If enemy units have any abilities that require measuring distance or drawing line of sight to PSYKER units, do so to this unit's Aspiring Sorcerer or Scarab Occult Sorcerer model.
Teleport Strike: During deployment, you can set up this model in a teleportarium chamber instead of placing it on the battlefield. At the end of any of your Movement phases the model can use a teleport strike to arrive on the battlefield - set it up anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 9" away from any enemy models. Ran as cult of duplicity for movement army power.
Rubic marines are the core with 40 models with 4 warpflamer, 28 bolters, 4 heavy soul reaper cannon. 1 aspiring sorcerer, 1 warpflamer, 1 soul reaper cannon, and 7 bolter per 10 man squad. Set in 4 squads.
2 sorcerer on disc provide aerial support while ahriman doles out mortal wounds with psychic powers.
2 lesser sorcerer support the core infantry, teleporting units around the board, and pumping stats, You can use every psychic power available in one turn. Buffing, moving, then dealing a massive amount of wounds before you sweep in for the clean up the remaining models while spamming Smite for mortal wounds galore!
This is a very tactical army and uses psychic powers to manipulate your units position on the board, buff your own units, and destroy with offensive psychic skills.
This army is one serious gaming experience, very carefully designed for maximum movement and deceptive game play. Once you buff and set your powers up, you can be in your enemy deployment zone on the first turn. Have fun with an army that refuses to get pinned to one location and can deal around 16-20 mortal wounds per psychic phase.
Tested with 8 wins out of 10 games! Very tricky with mass mortal wounds, backed up with powerful buffs and movement manipulation!
