====Chaos Daemons====
Unlike with most factions, Chaos Daemons subdivide their psykers, with Daemons of the three non-Khorne deities taking different disciplines.  Be'Lakor, the only Daemonic psyker not of any deity, uses the Dark Hereticus discipline.

|+ Nurgle
! Number !! Name !! Range !! Target !! Description !! Charge
|-
! 1 !! Stream of Corruption
| 7 || Closest Visible Enemy Unit
| Target takes 1D3 mortal wounds if it has less than 10 models, or 1D6 if it has 10 or more.
| 5
|-
! 2 !! Fleshy Abundance
| 18 || Friendly Nurgle Daemon Unit
| One model in the target unit recovers 1D3 wounds.
| 5
|-
! 3 !! Nurgle's Rot
| 7 || All Units (except Nurgle Units)
| Roll 1D6 for each affected unit. On a 4+, the unit suffers 1D3 mortal wounds.

|-
! 4 !! Shrivelling Pox
| 18 || Visible Enemy Unit
| Until the start of your next Psychic Phase, target takes -1 toughness.
| 6
|-
! 5 !! Virulent Blessing
| 18 || Friendly Nurgle Daemon Unit
| Target unit may add +1 to all wound rolls in the Fight phase, and wound rolls of 7+ for that unit in the Fight phase inflict double damage.

|-
! 6 !! Miasma of Pestilence

{| class="wikitable sortable"  style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"
|+ Slaanesh
! Number !! Name !! Range !! Target !! Description !! Charge
|-
! 1 !! Cacophonic Choir
| 18 || Closest Visible Enemy Unit
| Roll 2D6 (add 2 to the result if the psychic test result is more than 10). Target unit suffers a mortal wound for each point rolled above its highest Leadership value. This has the same average mortal wound output as Smite against targets with Ld5, but it's higher variance; At Ld5 it's 28% likely to do nothing at all (either from failing the psychic test or rolling under their Ld) and averages 3.15 wounds if it works, vs. 16% and 2.15 for Smite. Since the Warp Charge was dropped to 6 it's very situational but no longer a garbage fire.

! 2 !! Symphony of Pain
| 18 || Closest Visible Enemy Unit
| Target unit subtracts 1 from all hit rolls until the start of your next Psychic phase.
| 6
|-
! 3 !! Hysterical Frenzy
| 18 || Friendly Slaanesh Daemon Unit
| Target unit must also be within 1" of an enemy unit. It can pile in and attack as if it were the Fight phase.
| 8
|-
! 4 !! Delightful Agonies
| 18 || Friendly Slaanesh Daemon Unit
| Until the start of your next Psychic Phase, roll 1D6 each time a model in the target unit loses a wound. Ignore the wound on a roll of 6.
| 5
|-
! 5 !! Pavane of Slaanesh
| 18 || Visible Enemy Unit

|-
! 2 !! Bolt of Change
| 18 || Visible Enemy Unit
| Target unit suffers D3 mortal wounds; if a Character is slain by this, you can add a Chaos Spawn to your army.  Set it up within 1" of the character before it is removed. If your Heralds cast this, you can expect to succeed 27.78% of the time (less than a third!), dealing 0.56 mortal wounds, on average.  Much more reliable from a healthy Lord of Change, at 58.33% / 1.17 (1 1/6) mortal wounds dealt, but still rather shabby.

|-
! 3 !! Gaze of Fate
| N/A || N/A
| Re-roll a single dice roll later during your turn.
| 6
|-
! 4 !! Treason of Tzeentch
| 18 || Visible Enemy Non-Warlord Character
| Roll 2D6; if the result is greater than the target's Leadership, you can treat the model as Friendly in your Shooting, Charge, and Fight phases, until the end of your Fight phase.

|-
! 5 !! Flickering Flames
| 18 || Friendly Tzeentch Daemon Unit
| Until your next Psychic phase, add 1 to any wound rolls made for the targets shooting weapons.
| 5
|-
! 6 !! Infernal Gateway
| 12 || Closest Visible Enemy Model
| Target's unit and every other unit (friend or foe) within 3" of the target suffer 1D3 mortal wounds each. The number of mortal wounds inflicted is 1D6 per unit instead if the power is manifested with a Psychic test of 12+.

====Heretic Astartes====
Except for the Death Guard, all Legions share this Discipline, which they also, curiously, share with Be'Lakor.  As Be'Lakor does ''not'' have the Heretic Astartes keyword or a way to get it, he only uses the offensive/debuffing powers from this list unless somehow allied into a Heretic Astartes army.

{| class="wikitable sortable"  style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"
|+ Dark Hereticus
! Number !! Name !! Range !! Target !! Description !! Charge
|-
! 1 !! Infernal Gaze
| 18 || Visible Enemy Unit

| 5
|-
! 2 !! Death Hex
| 12 || Visible Enemy Unit
| Until the start of your next Psychic phase, the target cannot take invulnerable saves.
| 8
|-
! 3 !! Gift of Chaos
| 6 || Visible Enemy Unit
| Roll a D6. If the result is greater than the target’s Toughness, it suffers D3+3 mortal wounds. If a Character is slain by this power, you can add a Chaos Spawn to your army and set it up within 1" of the character before it is removed.

|-
! 4 !! Prescience
| 18 || Friendly Heretic Astartes Unit

=====Death Guard=====
Death Guard Sorcerers, Sorcerers in Terminator Armour and Malignant Plaguecasters use the Contagion discipline.

| 5
|-
! 4 !! Blades of Putrefaction
| 18 || Visible Friendly Death Guard Unit
| Add 1 to all wound rolls it makes in the fight phase. Rolls of 7+ using melee plague weapons inflict a mortal wound.

=====Thousand Sons=====

Note: Outdated since their codex release, I'll update it later. Now they have two disciplines, Change and Vengeance, that do a number of cool things, plus one power per cult (subfaction). But they don't keep the range increase (now mostly baked in anyways), nor they keep the penalties removal for casting the same power.

For more info, see their tactics.

Thousand Sons Sorcerers, Exalted Sorcerors and Sorcerers in Terminator Armour use either the Dark Hereticus or Change disciplines. Thousand Sons Daemon Princes and Magnus the Red can use the Dark Hereticus, Change, or Tzeentch (See Daemons) disciplines. Furthermore, their special rule '''Brotherhood of Sorcerers''' adds 6" to the range of all their powers (including Smite) and removes the penalties associated with casting Smite repeatedly.

! 2D6 !! Boon
|-
| 2 || Your character is slain. However, before removing the model as a casualty, you can add a Chaos Spa- Uhm thingie, to your army. If you do so, set up the ''Model'' within 6" of the character before removing them.

| 3 || Add 6" to the Range of all of the character’s shooting weapons.
|-
| 4 || Add 3" to the character’s Move characteristic.
|-
