Start Competing: Thousand Sons Tactics
The Thousand Sons are a traitor legion dedicated to the Chaos God Tzeentch, the Changer of Ways and master of sorcery and duplicity. Originally one of the first founding legions of space marines, the Thousand Sons turned on the Imperium after the Emperor ordered their destruction at the hands of the Space Wolves. These days the Thousand Sons are split into a series of sorcerous cabals, run by powerful Psykers who practice dark magic and command powerful legions of Rubric Marines, animated suits of armor filled with the dust that used to be their physical bodies.
Faction Overview
The Thousand Sons specialize in using Psychic Powers to make up for their lack of speed and heavier firepower. In 10th edition game terms, that primarily means dealing mortal wounds, but the faction has a ton of interesting tricks and ways to move around the battlefield that make them a powerful and unpredictable army. While they tend to the more elite side of the faction spectrum and have a limited number of datasheets, the units they have to work with are fairly powerful and it’s pretty common to see Thousand Sons armies made up primarily of battleline units.
