Warhammer 40k is a tabletop game that combines elements of science fiction and fantasy. The game was created by Games Workshop, who holds the rights to it.
It’s set in a dystopian future where humanity has spread across the galaxy and formed alliances with other races. In this world, there is an ongoing war between multiple factions vying for control over resources and territory.
The Thousand Sons are one of these factions–a group of Space Marines who have been corrupted by Chaos (an evil supernatural force) but retain their loyalty to their Primarch Magnus the Red (also known as Prospero).
They are led by Ahriman, who uses his psychic powers to manipulate his enemies into making fatal mistakes during battle.
10) Tzaangors
These units are very cheap and can be taken in large numbers. They have a lot of attacks and can re-roll all misses in close combat if a character from your army is within 6″ of them at the start of your turn.

9) Chaos Spawn
These units are cheap and can be taken in large numbers. They are also very tough, making them great for absorbing enemy fire. Chaos Spawn can also dish out a lot of damage in close combat, making them a versatile unit to have in your army.
8) Rubric Marines
One of the unique things about Rubric Marines is that they are immune to the effects of the Warp, which is the source of all psychic powers in the game. This is due to their armor, which is made up of a material called “Rubricae,” which protects them from the dangers of the Warp. As a result, Rubric Marines are completely immune to psychic powers, which makes them very difficult to take down.
Rubric Marines are armed with a boltgun and a power sword, which makes them effective at both long-range and close combat. They also have access to some unique abilities, including the “Inferno Bolts” ability, which allows them to re-roll failed hits against enemies within 6″. This makes them particularly effective at taking out enemy vehicles, which can be difficult to deal with for other units.
In addition to their standard equipment, Rubric Marines can also be equipped with a variety of heavy weapons, including heavy bolters, missile launchers, and lascannons. This makes them even more effective at taking out heavy armor and other high-value targets.

One of the unique things about Exalted Sorcerers is that they have access to some of the most powerful psychic powers in the game. These powers can be used to buff their own units or weaken enemy units. For example, they can use the “Prescience” power to give themselves and their unit re-rolls to hit, or the “Weaver of Fates” power to give themselves and their unit a 4+ invulnerable save.
You can also summon units of Tzaangors to fight alongside them on the battlefield. Tzaangors are brutish, goat-headed creatures that are incredibly tough and deadly in combat. They are armed with a variety of close combat weapons, including chainswords and power axes.
