===Special rules Demiurg <span style="color: red"> '''WIP''' </span>===

{{W40kKeyword| storm}}: Storm weapons are weapons that are fully automatic if a 6+ is rolled to hit you count that hit a 2 hits instead.

{{W40kKeyword| Ion Dampener}}: Models that have a Ion Dampener may roll a D6 each time they would suffer a Mortal Weapon from overcharging an Ion Weapon weapon they are carrying, on a 3+ this damage is ignored.

'''Runes of the Stone-Kin''': Demiurg Runesmiths differ from the usual hectic and forceful calling of power employed by Chaos sorcerers and Ork Weirdboyz. Instead carefully carving and preparing ancient runes by inscribing them upon slates of adamantite, before imbuing them with arcane energy in lengthy rituals. In this way the Demiurg can reliably harness the primordial energy of planets that sits beyond the grasp of all but the most willful or powerful of Psykers. However activating these runes comes with a danger of their own as the Runesmith must become the conduit for this energy as the rune is activated, and reports of Rune Smiths who have lost control of this power range anywhere from the caster joining with the stone of the planet itself, to Volcanoes opening beneath beneath the battlefield and drowning entire worlds in lava.<br>
For the purpose of the rules there is no difference between these and normal psychic powers. When choosing powers the caster may choose his powers or roll a D6 to see wich one he will gets.
