In the grim darkness of the far future, there will be only those with the wisdom to see the real path.  

Thematically the Scourged are the prime example of being careful what you wish for. Having the ability to hear all spoken lies hasn't done them any favours, so of course they decided to sign up with [[Tzeentch|the greatest liar in existence.]] Don't judge, we all make terrible life choices every now and again.

Crunchwise the Scourged excel at disrupting opponents that rely on powerful deep strikes or psychic powers. They also reward MSU with high strength, low volume of fire weapons such as melta. 
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
*'''Renegade Trait: ''Omniscient'':''' You can re-roll one hit roll each time a ''unit'' shoots or fights, and always overwatch on a 5+. Note that the re-roll is once per unit, so you'll get more use out of it with MSU. Of course this is useless on auto-hitting weapons.
**As of the FAQ all The Scourged units must be Tzeentch marked if they are able to do so.
*'''Warlord Trait: ''Shattering Truth'':''' At the start of each fight phase, you can pick an enemy unit within 3" of your warlord. That unit cannot be picked to fight with in the fight phase until all other units able to fight have done so. If the target unit has an ability that allows it to fight first, it instead fights as if it didn't have that ability. Can be used to fuck over really hard-hitting units if they're engaged by several units and would normally be able to be chosen after you've selected a few to attack, so just like their trait, works much better with MSU spam.
*'''Stratagem: ''Prescience (2 CP)'':''' When an enemy deep strikes within 12" of a {{W40kKeyword|SCOURGED INFANTRY}} unit, that unit can make an out of phase shooting attack against the deep striker. Unlike most similar stratagems this one doesn't have a -1 to hit installed! Beautiful against GSC.
*'''Relic: ''Book of Untruth'':''' Anytime a psyker within 18" of the bearer successfully manifests a psychic power, roll a d6; on a 5+, cause a mortal wound. This effectively means a mortal wound once per 3 successful enemy casts - which is not going to hurt anyone, unless you are playing against Grey Knights or Thousand Sons.
