The following rules and Codex changes apply when using a Thousand
Sons Chaos Space Marine army. The entire army must be Thousand Sons,
not just one or two squads.
The Chaos Lord of a Thousand Sons army may only have a retinue of
Thousand Sons, unless he is wearing Terminator armour in which case
he may have a retinue of Tzeentch Cult Terminators.
Special Rules
All Thousand Sons Lords and Sorcerers are Fearless (immune to Morale
and pinning checks). All Thousand Sons characters must take the Mark of Tzeentch, and this
is the only Mark they may bear. Thousand Sons Lords must take the Sorcerer Lord upgrade and must purchase
the Mark of Tzeentch. All Lords, Sorcerers, Daemon Princes and Lords of Change may make
use of minor psyker powers in games where both players have agreed to
their use. There is no upper limit to the number of minor powers that
may be purchased for Daemon Princes and Lords of Change. Thousand Sons squads and Tzeentch Cult Terminator squads may upgrade
one member to a Thousand Sons Sorcerer for +15 points, or for free if
the squad numbers exactly nine models, nine being the sacred number
in Tzeentch's magic and ceremonies. He has the same stats as the Chaos
Space Marine Sorcerer and is not subject to the All Is Dust and Slow
and Purposeful special rules. The upgrade includes a Mark of Tzeentch and further equipment
may be taken from the Chaos Armoury.
Note that a Tzeentch Cult Terminator upgraded to a Sorcerer retains
his Terminator armour, combi-bolter and power weapon.
If the squad forms the retinue of a Thousand Sons Lord then any number
of its members may be upgraded to Thousand Sons Sorcerers.
Any single member of a retinue may be designated an Icon Bearer, even
though no Aspiring Champions may be purchased. If any Thousand Sons in squads are upgraded to sorcerers, the special
rules published in the Chapter Approved compilation allowing Greater
Daemons to possess Thousand Sons Space Marines are not used. Use the
standard Daemonic Possession rules instead. Thousand Sons Dreadnoughts do not roll on the Fire Frenzy chart so
long as they take the Daemonic Possession vehicle gift. Thousand Sons
Dreadnoughts pay only 25 points for this gift. The only vehicle gift allowed to a Thousand Sons vehicle is Coruscating
Warp Flame, other than the Thousand Sons Dreadnought, which may also
take Daemonic Possession. Possessed Chaos Space Marines automatically receive the Demonically
Fast ability in addition to two rolls on the Ability chart.
