Nethershriek Mind-Eater

10 pts

This occultist draws upon an eldritch contract with a daemonic gheist. The entity gleefully tears into weak wills, feasts on doubts and screams its burning laughter into the recesses of its prey’s meagre souls.

THOUSAND SONS* or LORD OF CHANGE model only. At the start of your Shooting phase, select one enemy unit within 12" of and visible to the bearer. That unit must take a Battle-shock test; if that test is failed, that unit suffers 3 mortal wounds.

Diabolic Savant

20 pts

By making a promise of blood and souls, this Sorcerer draws an infernal sentience near. It presses against the straining veil of reality, and from its fanged maw spill gibbered secrets of sanity-straining sorcery.

THOUSAND SONS INFANTRY* model only. While the bearer is within 6" of one or more friendly SCINTILLATING LEGIONS units, each time the bearer Channels the Warp, add 1 to the Psychic test result.

Duplicitous Malediction

15 pts

This magisterial deceiver is capable of weaving bewitching illusions across entire battlefronts, hiding their true strength behind twisted falsehoods.

THOUSAND SONS* or LORD OF CHANGE model only. After both players have deployed their armies, select up to three THOUSAND SONS units from your army and redeploy them. When doing so, you can set those units up in Strategic Reserves if you wish, regardless of how many units are already in Strategic Reserves.

Tome of True Names

20 pts

Stolen from Imperial daemonhunters and added to over millennia, this dangerous tome can compel a host of empyric entities to shield the bearer in extremis. Once uttered, however, the names vanish.

THOUSAND SONS INFANTRY* model only. Once per battle, at the start of any phase, the bearer can use this Enhancement. If it does, until the end of the phase, the bearer has a 2+ invulnerable save.
