Codex - Thousand Sons

Page is under construction.

This codex was made for my Russian fellow and big fan of TS. The main idea was to make heavy-magic army and to somehow make ridiculously expensive Thousand Sons be relevant against horde armies. Now put on your robe and wizard hat.

  • Blessing of the Architect: 4+ invulnerable save.
  • Power of Rubric: Count as having +1 Mastery Level for the purpose of Deny the Witch and number of generated psychical powers.

4) All rolls for denying psychic powers manifested with Sacrifice rule (Deny the Witch, Runic Weapon, Gloom Prism, etc.) suffer -2 penalty.
