Sorcerers of the Changer of Ways

Thousand Sons

“Magic Is Might”

Once the most learned and gifted of the Space Marine Legions, the Thousand Sons were undone by their own primarch's hubris — the Rubric of Ashes turned the rank and file to animate, soulless dust within their armour, preserving them forever as silent, spellbound automata. Only the Legion's surviving sorcerers retain their minds, each a powerful psyker bent to endless research in pursuit of a way to reverse the curse and restore their brothers to life. Serving Tzeentch, the Architect of Fate, in his crystal city of Tizca-reborn, the Thousand Sons wage war with blistering sorcery, warpflame, and the tireless bolters of the Rubricae, seeking always the next secret that might undo their ancient doom.

Army Rule

Rubric Wards

Thousand Sons PSYKER units and RUBRIC MARINES units gain a 5+ invulnerable save, representing the warding sorceries woven through their war-plate. Additionally, each time a friendly THOUSAND SONS unit manifests a psychic power, you gain 1 Cabal Point that can be spent on additional psychic effects.

Tzeentch's Firestorm

Once per battle round, when a THOUSAND SONS unit is selected to shoot, you can spend Cabal Points to grant that unit's ranged weapons the [SUSTAINED HITS 1] ability for the phase.
