Rules (3)
Sorcerous Master 
Each time a psychic power is manifested by this unit, each time this unit would attempt to perform a psychic action, and each time this unit would Deny the Wtich, measure distances and draw line of sight from this unit's Aspiring Sorcerer or Scarab Occult Sorcerer model. If enemy units have any abilities that require measuring distance or drawing line of sight to PSYKER units, do so to this unit's Aspiring Sorcerer or Scarab Occult Sorcerer model.
Malicious Volleys 
Instead of following the normal rules for Rapid Fire weapons, models in this unit firing Rapid Fire bolt weapons make double the number of attacks if any of the following apply:

• The shooting model’s target is within half the weapon’s range.
• The shooting model is INFANTRY and its unit Remained Stationary in your previous Movement phase.
• The shooting model is a TERMINATOR or BIKER model.

For the purposes of this ability, a Rapid Fire bolt weapon is any bolt weapon (as defined on paeg 176) with the Rapid Fire type.

Profiles:

Abilities
All is Dust:

Each time an attack with a damage characteristic of 1 is allocated to a model in this unit, add 1 to any armour saving throw made against that attack. In addition, models in this unit do not suffer the penalty to hit rolls incurred for firing Heavy weapons in the same turn that their unit has moved.

Arcane Automata:

Each time a Morale test is taken for this unit, it is automatically passed.

Mark of Tzeentch:
  • Once per turn, the first time a saving throw is failed for this unit, the Damage characteristic of that attack is changed to 0.
  • If this unit has the ICON keyword, each time a model in this unit makes a ranged attack, improve the Armour Penetration characteristic of that attack by 1.
