The 千子 are one of the most potent psychic armies in Warhammer 40K. Their core mechanic revolves around Cabal Points and Rituals — every Sorcerer unit generates Cabal Points in the Command phase, which are spent to cast powerful ritual effects.
All is Dust is the army-wide passive: Rubric Marines and Scarab Occult Terminators improve their armour save by 1 against Damage 1 attacks, massively boosting durability. Most units also have a 4+ invulnerable save, giving reliable defence against high-AP weapons.
Tactical style: mid-to-long range psychic shooting plus a steady advance. Rubric Marines form a dependable battle line, Scarab Occult Terminators are the elite core, and Daemon Engines provide heavy firepower and melee threat. Magnus the Red is an overwhelming battlefield dominator.
Daemon Primarch. M14" FLY, T11, W16, effective 3+ Invulnerable, 4+ Feel No Pain vs Mortal Wounds. Generates 3 Cabal Points per turn. Gaze of Magnus (D6+3, S9, AP-3, D3) and devastating S16 AP-4 D4 melee output. Can Deep Strike. The centrepiece of the entire battle.
▶ SUPREME THREAT — 全場最高優先度
▶ SUPREME THREAT — highest priority target on the board
Arch-Sorcerer of the 千子. Generates 2 Cabal Points. The Black Staff deals D6 Mortal Wounds each Shooting phase (no hit roll required). M12" when mounted on a Disc. His attached unit gains FNP 4+ vs Psychic weapons. 5 melee S7 AP-2 D3 Psychic attacks.
Sv2+, 4+Inv, All is Dust（對D1攻擊有效為1+ Sv）。深擊。業火組合爆彈槍+地獄火飛彈架提供強力遠程，普羅斯佩羅彎刀S5 AP-2 D2近戰也不弱。術士統領的力場武器S6 AP-2 DD3。
Sv 2+, 4+ Invulnerable, All is Dust (effective 1+ save vs Damage 1 attacks). Deep Strike. Inferno Combi-bolters and Hellfyre Missile Racks deliver heavy ranged firepower, and Prosperine Khopesh S5 AP-2 D2 melee is no slouch either. Sorcerer leader's Force Weapon hits at S6 AP-2 DD3.

All is Dust讓他們對D1攻擊有效2+ Sv（加上4+Inv）。業火爆彈槍AP-1穩定輸出。扭曲噴射器D6自動命中忽略掩護。靈魂收割者加農砲提供毀滅傷害。
All is Dust gives them an effective 2+ save vs Damage 1 attacks (on top of 4+ Invulnerable). Inferno Boltguns put out steady AP-1 damage. Warpflamers auto-hit D6 and ignore cover. The Soulreaper Cannon brings Devastating Wounds.
▶ 目標 HOLDER — 需高AP或多傷武器清除
▶ OBJECTIVE HOLDER — clear with high-AP or multi-damage weapons
T10 W14 5+ Invulnerable. Its Warp Vortex inflicts D3-D6 Mortal Wounds on enemies within 9" in the Shooting phase. A 6" aura boosts friendly Sorcerers' Psychic weapons by +1 Strength. M10" gives it real mobility. The main threat is its buff aura rather than its own damage output.
▶ SUPPORT THREAT — 優先消除其buff光環
▶ SUPPORT THREAT — prioritise shutting down its buff aura
Infernal Master 地獄師Infernal Master
MEDIUM
提供二選一buff：不屈之軀 5+或重擲命中1。帶入1個秘社點數。75點低廉但buff效果穩定。Fires of the Abyss提供D6 S5爆裂靈能射擊。
Offers a choice of buffs: 5+ Feel No Pain or reroll hit rolls of 1. Contributes 1 Cabal Point. Just 75 points but delivers rock-solid buffs. Fires of the Abyss grants a D6 S5 Blast Psychic shooting attack.
▶ BUFF PROVIDER — 消滅以弱化石像陸戰隊
▶ BUFF PROVIDER — kill him to weaken the Rubric Marines
A cheap screening unit. Sv 6+, 6+ Invulnerable, W1 — extremely fragile. +1 to hit on the charge gives them some melee bite. Key ability: they regenerate D3+3 models each turn, making them a persistent attrition unit.
M12" fast mover. Fatecaster Greatbow (30" S5 AP-1 D2) with full reroll-to-hit. A cheap flanking harasser used for grabbing distant objectives or pressuring the backfield. W2 Sv 6+ makes them extremely fragile.
▶ HARASSER — 注意其搶點能力
▶ HARASSER — watch for their objective-grabbing speed
Magnus generates 3 Cabal Points per turn, which combined with output from other Sorcerers lets you reliably power top-tier Rituals. His personal psychic damage paired with ritual effects (reroll wounds, ignore cover, etc.) creates an overwhelming psychic firepower web.

COMBO II
AHRIMAN + RUBRIC MARINES
阿里曼 + 石像陸戰隊
Ahriman + Rubric Marines
阿里曼率領石像陸戰隊：2秘社點數+Black Staff D6致命傷害+全隊對靈能不屈之軀 4+。石像陸戰隊在All is Dust下已非常耐打，加上Ahriman的buff形成堅不可摧的據點。
Ahriman leads the Rubric Marines: 2 Cabal Points, D6 Mortal Wounds from the Black Staff, and FNP 4+ vs Psychic for the whole unit. Rubric Marines are already tough under All is Dust, and Ahriman's buffs turn them into an unbreakable strongpoint.

COMBO III
SORCERER TERMINATOR + SCARAB OCCULT
終結者術士 + 聖甲蟲密教
Sorcerer in Terminator Armour + Scarab Occult
術士提供4+Inv全隊+業火組合爆彈槍持續命中1。深擊後在12"內大量射擊（Rapid Fire），配合持續命中持續壓制。All is Dust + 2+ Sv + 4+ Inv讓這個組合幾乎不可摧毀。
The Sorcerer grants the unit a 4+ Invulnerable and Sustained Hits 1 on the Inferno Combi-bolters. After a Deep Strike, they unload at 12" (Rapid Fire) with Sustained Hits piling up the damage. All is Dust + 2+ save + 4+ Invulnerable makes this combo nearly indestructible.
◉
COMBO IV
MUTALITH + PSYKER CASTLE
突變巨獸 + 術士堡壘
Mutalith + Psyker Castle
突變漩渦巨獸6"光環讓友方術士靈能武器+1S。將巨獸部署在石像陸戰隊和卓越術士附近，使Arcane Fire S6→S7、業火武器效果提升。加上Warp Vortex的額外致命傷害害，形成恐怖的靈能火力區。
The Mutalith Vortex Beast's 6" aura buffs friendly Psychic weapons by +1 Strength. Park it near your Rubric Marines and Exalted Sorcerer to push Arcane Fire from S6 to S7 and boost Warpflamer weapons. With Warp Vortex's extra Mortal Wounds on top, it forms a terrifying psychic kill zone.
A 20-strong Tzaangor mob regenerates D3+3 (avg 5) models per turn, making them nearly impossible to completely clear off an objective. OC 2 × 20 = OC 40 is hard for any opponent to outscore. Cheap points with huge OC is the Thousand Sons' hidden trump card — push Tzaangors forward to hold objectives while Rubric Marines shoot from behind.

回合 1 — 靈能布陣
Turn 1 — Psychic Setup
目標: 確立 靈能 INFRASTRUCTURE · 建立秘社點數產出鏈
OBJECTIVE: ESTABLISH PSYCHIC INFRASTRUCTURE · Build the Cabal Point engine
Cabal Point Audit — check every Sorcerer unit's position. Each generates 1 Cabal Point (Ahriman = 2, Magnus = 3). T1 goal: stockpile enough points to cast your first key Ritual.
02
石像陸戰隊前進佔位 — 石像陸戰隊向中場目標點推進。All is Dust使他們在D1火力下極度耐打。業火爆彈槍24"射程在推進後仍可有效射擊。
Rubric Marines Advance — push the Rubric Marines onto midfield objectives. All is Dust makes them extremely tough vs Damage 1 firepower. Inferno Boltguns keep their 24" range effective even after moving.
Tzaangor Screen Push — send Tzaangors forward to form a screen protecting the backline. Even when most of them die, D3+3 models regenerate each turn to keep the screen alive.
Open Fire — Psychic Salvo — pour on every Psychic weapon in the Shooting phase. Ahriman's Black Staff drops D6 Mortal Wounds on the highest-value target. A Ritual that makes Psychic shooting ignore cover hugely boosts efficiency.
Daemon Engine Flank Pressure — if you brought a Mutalith or Forgefiend, use their speed to pressure a flank. Make sure the Mutalith's 6" aura covers as many Sorcerers as possible.
回合 2 — 儀式目標 + 深擊
Turn 2 — Rituals + Deep Strike
目標: RITUAL 目標S & DEEP STRIKE ASSAULT · 執行儀式+終結者深擊
OBJECTIVE: RITUAL OBJECTIVES & DEEP STRIKE ASSAULT · Fire Rituals, drop Terminators
Scarab Occult Deep Strike — drop from Reserves into the enemy's soft flank. Choose a spot 9" away from the key target but inside the 12" Rapid Fire band. 5× Inferno Combi-bolters at 12" = 15 shots (Rapid Fire) + Sustained Hits 1.
02
施放關鍵儀式 — 使用積累的秘社點數施放高階儀式。優先選擇增強射擊效率或削弱敵方單位的儀式。
Cast the Key Ritual — spend your accumulated Cabal Points on a high-tier Ritual. Prioritise Rituals that boost shooting efficiency or debuff a key enemy unit.
Magnus — Ranged Suppression — if Magnus is already on the board, use Gaze of Magnus (D6+3, S9, AP-3, D3) and Psychic Maelstrom (2D6 Devastating Wounds) to delete a high-value target. Alternatively, Deep Strike him on turn 2 for maximum shock.
04
石像陸戰隊鞏固目標 — 佔領中場目標點。All is Dust + 4+Inv使他們能在火力下堅守。確保Infernal Master的FNP 5+ buff覆蓋到最暴露的單位。
Rubric Marines — Lock the Objective — claim the midfield objective. All is Dust + 4+ Invulnerable lets them weather incoming fire. Make sure the Infernal Master's FNP 5+ buff covers your most exposed unit.
05
嚎變獸人回復+搶點 — 嚎變獸人在指揮階段恢復D3+3模型後再次前衝。用復活的身體填滿目標點。
Tzaangor Regen + Grab — after Tzaangors regenerate D3+3 models in the Command phase, push them forward again. Flood the objective with resurrected bodies.
Concentrated Psychic Fire — by now you should have stockpiled plenty of Cabal Points. Chain several Rituals in a row to crush the enemy remnants under overwhelming psychic pressure. Every Sorcerer is an independent damage source.
Magnus — Melee Cleanup — if Magnus is still alive, use his S16 AP-4 D4 melee (8 attacks) to outright destroy enemy heavy units. T11 + 3+ Invulnerable + FNP 4+ makes him practically impossible to kill in melee.
Scarab Occult — Commit to Melee — if a stubborn unit needs clearing, charge in with the Terminators. Prosperine Khopesh S5 AP-2 D2 × 3 attacks each, plus the Sorcerer's Force Weapon at S6 AP-2 DD3.
Lock Down Every Objective — fill every reachable objective with Rubric Marines and Tzaangors. 千子 durability and regeneration give you a massive late-game scoring advantage.
CABAL DOMINANCE
Maximise Cabal Point generation every turn. Keeping your Sorcerer characters alive is the top priority — lose the Sorcerers, lose the Cabal Points, lose the Rituals, lose the entire advantage chain.
★
目標點控制
石像陸戰隊和嚎變獸人的高OC配合All is Dust的耐久性，使千子軍團在目標點爭奪中佔有天然優勢。以靈能射擊清除敵方目標點上的單位。
目標控制
Rubric Marines and Tzaangors combine high OC with All is Dust durability to give the 千子 a natural edge in objective battles. Clear enemy objective holders with Psychic shooting.
⚠
反靈能意識
注意對手的反靈能手段（Deny the Witch、靈能封鎖等）。千子軍團的戰力高度依賴靈能武器和秘社儀式，被封鎖時戰力大幅下降。保持多條靈能攻擊路線。
ANTI-PSYKER AWARENESS
Watch for the opponent's anti-psyker tools (Deny the Witch, psychic lockout, etc.). The 千子 lean heavily on Psychic weapons and Cabal Rituals, and shut-down options gut their output. Keep multiple psychic attack vectors open.
