Editing Warhammer 40,000/9th Edition Tactics/Psychic 101 (section)

====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.

=====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Note: Outdated since their codex release, I'll update it later.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.

|-
| 4 || Add 3" to the character’s Move characteristic.
