The issue with this is, presuming you had a Disc as well, for about 40pts more just be a Daemon Prince. Paradigm of Change- For 15pts become a mini Daemon Prince with +1 W and A.Provided you can get a third power off at least 3 or 4 times, it becomes well worth its cost. Good to have for the option, but will generally be dependent on how much either of those powers will be useful to you. Effectively letting you cast a Smite or your Cult power, it’s a solid upgrade, if a slightly expensive one. Rehati- Cast an extra Power for 25pts.Cults of the Legion – A selection of rules depending on what Keyword you give a Detachment, described below.Pretty standard, and whilst they are great, taking more than 1 would already be a significant chunk in points, let alone the extra Detachment cost. Jealous Tyrant – 1 DAEMON PRINCE per Detachment.Being limited on BRAY is fine, as you probably weren’t looking to spam those anyways. Mere Servants – You can’t have more than one of each CULTIST and BRAY than RUBRICS or SCARABS, which is fine as those are some of your best units, and Cultists…aren’t.On top of that, everything barring CULTISTS and SPAWN gets a 5++, a crucial survivability boost, granting you a save in most situations, which in today’s age of lethality is fantastic, and makes your Vehicles always have at least a chance of sticking around in the face of fire. Brotherhood of Sorcerers – All your PSYKERS get +1 to Cast, which is fantastic for reliability in the all important Psychic Phase.The first two are fairly standard, but giving you ObSec Terminators makes the Thousand Sons great for the Primary missions, letting them steal Objectives from even other elite units. Objective Secured on your RUBRIC MARINES, BRAY and SCARAB OCCULT units.If your Detachment is Battle-Forged (which will be most armies) and only has THOUSAND SONS units in it. Psychic Powers are marked with their corresponding letter to identify them (so Witchfires are W, Blessings are B and Maledictions are M). Some abilities interact with certain types of Psychic Powers, be they Witchfires, Blessings or Maledictions.‘Infiltrate’, “Scout” or similar, means the unit can be deployed anywhere on the table over 9” away from enemy models and the enemy deployment zone, instead of deploying normally. ‘Deep Strike’ essentially means the unit can be placed into Reinforcements and arrive more than 9” away from enemy units.‘First turn of combat’ means any rules that trigger when you Charge, are Charged, or Heroically Intervene.Per the Core Rules, anything that might also happen on a 6 to hit (such as auto-wounding) does not apply to the additional hit, only the original. ‘6s explode’ essentially translates to ‘An unmodified 6 to Hit does an additional hit’, so read that as ‘Does 2 Hits instead of 1’.X+++, or ‘shrug’, ‘Feel No Pain’ or ‘Ignore Damage roll’ depending on how you’re feeling, means it is a dice roll to ignore each point of damage, which is taken after any failed saves.Some common shorthand terms found throughout. There are occasional exceptions that will affect all THOUSAND SONS units, these will be called out. Don’t forget that this presumes you have the Codex, so some basic things may not be explained here.Īny of the rules discussed below apply only to THOUSAND SONS models with the same Keyword, so no overlapping or crossing of Auras (no CULT OF MAGIC Auras or powers affecting CULT OF DUPLICITY units, for example). Here are some key points to remember when reading this Primer, mainly to save it being typed out every time.
