Editing Tactics - Thousand Sons (section)

It have giant "NO" written all over it, even more than Athanaeans. This is what you take to prevent enemy units from... basically doing anything useful. Even powers that do damage are there mostly to slow down enemies tather than killing them.
*'''Kine Shield''' - Baby's first Void Shield. So NO, your bolts cannot hurt my infantry. OK, they technically can, but on 6+ and they basically become AP-. Any heavy weapon worth it's salt would probably blow the shield off, but at least it would soak that weapon hit. Sacrifice turns it into a proper AV12 Void Shield.
#'''Press''' - S-1 test or the target is pinned. Even if it's Fearless, MC, Bike or cannot go to ground for some other reasons. It means they cannot move and only fire snap-shots, but get +1 to cover saves, and if you charge them they don't get to overwatch and strike at I1. Combine with Enfeeble or Bend Fate to Press down things with high Strength, like Monstrous Creatures or Crisis suits. Sacrifice forces a re-roll on successful test, so you can press down even S5 with a good chance.
#'''Barrier''' - No, you cannot move there. You cannot even fly there. That wall is absolutely impassible. The most obvious use of it would be to prevent enemy charges and block retreat paths. Also one troll-tastic tactic is to block a flyer with two barriers so it cannot turn neither right nor left and thus is forced to either land (if it have hover mode) or ''crash'', although it requires you having two sorcs with this power. Sacrifice doubles the length of a barrier and allow you to break it in the center and place it more freely.
#'''Rockfall''' - Everyone Dies. OK, not everyone, Probably even no one, because it lacks AP. On the bright side it's a large blast, barrage, have huge range, have strikedown to slow down survivors, and is harder to deny, because adamantium will cannot help you against rocks falling from the sky. Sacrifice grants more strength which is good and AP5 which is almost always won't make any difference.
#'''Thief''' - Extremely short ranged malediction, it allows you to steal enemy weapons and give it to allied models nearby. Any weapons. From a lowly flamer to Drachn'yen. Well you cannot use weapons from Monstrous Creatures and Tyranids (even if you have monster of your own nearby to give it to him), but you can still rip that weapons out of them. Cannot target vehicles, so no ripping out D-strength chainswords from Knights. Sacrifice ''triples'' the range to much safer 18". Great power to put on a Sacrificial Scroll if you expect the likes of Abaddon or Lysander, especially if you take a Rubric Swordmaster along to use the stolen weapon. Be warned, however, this may cause the opponent to try throttling you.
#'''Long Hands''' - No, you cannot have Precision/Rending/Bladestorm/Gauss/Tesla guns. No, you cannot jump or thrust move. No, you cannot run. No, you cannot shoot out of hatch or disembark. No, you cannot use your grenades. Because one of them just exploded. No, no, no, no, no. While any of these effects is rather minor and very situational compared to other psy powers, this one have ''insane'' versatility in a ways of screwing your opponent.
#'''Throw''' - Psychic Lifta-Dropa. Throw chunks of units out of coherence to shut that unit down until survivors rejoin the squad, crush enemy tanks by trowing other tanks at them! Fun at many levels.
