Editing Psychic Awakening (section)

=== Ritual of the Damned ===
''From the boiling bowels of the warp, the Planet of Sorcerers has vomited forth into realspace. [...] Magnus the Red, Sorcerer King of Prospero, seeks to bring about the ruination of Mankind. [...] We must halt this ritual of the damned.''

Thousand Sons, Dark Angels, and Grey Knights. Magnus is back from his trip to the Webway and gathering tons of psykers for a ritual to rapidly accelerate the rate at which humans are becoming psychic, thereby giving the event title Psychic Awakening some direct meaning. Dark Angels and Grey Knights are sent to foil the ritual. Ends on an ambiguous note, with the Imperial forces breeching Magnus's psychic disruptions in order to call down Orbital Bombardment but unable to tell for the time being whether the ritual was halted, stunted, or potentially completed. In the meantime the survivors have their hands full as the Thousand Sons' attacks on the Imperium have grown even more intense. The action takes place around [[Sortiarius]], with the trailer showing a massive Imperial fleet going towards the Planet of Sorcerers. This time, the new model is Master Lazarus - previously a Dark Angels Sergeant, he's been promoted to Captain of the 5th Company and undergone the Rubicon Primaris after the events of Wrath of Magnus, incidentally making him the first Primaris to become part of the [[Inner Circle]].

Rules-wise, this book grants the Dark Angels the new shiny Primaris toys from the 8.5 Edition Space Marine Codex, as well as rules for the Deathwing and Ravenwing, while the Grey Knights gain a new ability - Masters of the Warp - if they take a dedicated army of Grey Knights. Will this see the Grey Knights actually fixed? Unlikely, but faith in the Emperor is its own reward (Spoiler Alert: It worked waaaay too well). As for the Thousand Sons, they can now dedicate their army towards one of nine Cults of the Legion in a move reminiscent of their [[Horus Heresy]] equivalent.
