Detachment Rule
Methodical Conquest
Too much is at stake and the prize too close to risk being reckless now. Instead, the Thousand Sons advance in steady and relentless lockstep, sweeping for threats and eliminating them as they arise.
Each time a THOUSAND SONS model from your army makes an attack while firing Overwatch, an unmodified Hit roll of 5+ is required to score a hit, instead of an unmodified 6. In addition, SCARAb OCCULT TERMiNATORS units from your army can perform the Set Overwatch Tactical Manoeuvre in the same turn as performing the Secure Site Tactical Manoeuvre.
