GW hasn’t forgotten about the Tempestus Scions in Psychic Awakening either. Check out these six new Regiment rules that have just been spotted.
Warhammer 40,000’s Facebook dropped six new regimental doctrine rules for the Tempestus Scions in recent light of all the other new Guard support coming to Psychic Awakening: The Greater Good. Check out the latest.
Tempestus Scion Psychic Awakening 40k Rules REVEALED
Starting off, Crack Shots gives your entire force of hotshot lasguns more potency. Being the longest-range of any of the other Scions, they’ll be able to start throwing down shots a bit before most other ground troops can. This is great for sitting back on objectives while still making the most of your points by firing their guns, which at -2 AP, is nothing to joke about.
Kills Count as Double Kills
Death from the Dark is one of the coolest ones out of the list, essentially doubling the number of units lost for morale. Even if you kill two Primaris units from a squad, they’ll have to take a -4 Ld check.
Encouraging For Mechanized Infantry
These dudes are cool because their Infantry is jacked enough to tote things like lascannons and heavy bolters without suffering the -1 to hit penalty. On top of that, you’re encouraged to bring plenty of transports to your game, giving them +1 to hit as soon as they jump out of the truck.
Random Exploding Hits
This is just random value. You can either spam cheap weapons and proc as many 6’s as possible or bring high-quality firepower like plasma and hope you spike a few rolls here and there. Just remember you also have to be within half range.
-3 AP Lasguns Here we Go!
For Prized Weaponry, you can say hello to all of your lasguns being a whopping -3 AP…This is like all of the Space Marine doctrines rolled into one as it affects EVERY weapon.
Another 6+ Exploding Hits Doctrine…
For these guys, they’re similar to the Predatory Strike rule from above. However, they get exploding hits when they target the closest thing and it’s only for infantry. This might be the weakest of all the new rules.
Overall, Scions are getting a whopping helping hand from GW with access to things like -3 lasguns and doubling the number of models lost for morale.
Which rules will you be using in your next game of 40k? Do you currently run an all-Scion army?
