DAEMONOLOGY (SANCTIC)
Daemonology (Sanctic)
Daemonologists study all things to do with Chaos and the Warp. They can manipulate the interactions between the Immaterium and realspace, allowing them to manifest all manner of destructive powers and amazing feats. However, Daemonology is the most difficult and dangerous of any discipline to master, and many who have tried have perished, been driven insane or else have been irredeemably corrupted by the very power they once sought to use against the forces of Chaos.
Banishment
(Primaris Power)
| The psyker bends his will to dissolving the bonds that tether the daemonic to the mortal plane, casting them back into the Warp. |
Warp Сharge: 1
Banishment is a malediction that targets a single unit with the Daemon special rule within 24". Whilst this power is in effect, all models in the target unit suffer a -1 penalty to their invulnerable save (normally reducing it to 6+). This is cumulative with any other modifiers to a Daemon’s invulnerable save, but cannot make it worse than 6+.
1
Gate of Infinity
| The psyker punches a corridor through the roiling Immaterium, allowing him to cross great distances in the blink of an eye. |
Warp Сharge: 1
Gate of Infinity is a blessing that targets the Psyker. Unless the target is Zooming or Swooping, remove the target and his unit from the board. It then immediately arrives anywhere on the board using the rules for Deep Strike.
2
Hammerhand
| Focussing the raging power of his mind, the psyker augments the strength of his comrades to the point where they can crush flesh and bone with a single blow. |
Warp Сharge: 1
Hammerhand is a blessing that targets the Psyker. Whilst the power is in effect, the Psyker and his unit have +2 Strength.
3
Sanctuary
| Chanting words of warding, the psyker creates a zone of light around him that can both protect him from harm and repel daemonic creatures. |
Warp Сharge: 1
Sanctuary is a blessing that targets the Psyker. Whilst the power is in effect the Psyker and all models in his unit receive a +1 bonus to their invulnerable save (models that do not have an invulnerable save gain a 6+ invulnerable save whilst this power is in effect instead). In addition, all units with the Daemon special rule (friend or foe) treat all terrain, including open ground, within 12" of the Psyker as dangerous terrain.
4
Purge Soul
| The psyker draws upon every ounce of willpower he possesses to purge the evil of his foes’ souls, scouring every trace of corruption even if it destroys them in the process. |
Warp Сharge: 1
Purge Soul is a focussed witchfire power with a range of 24". Both the Psyker and the target model roll a D6 and add their respective Leadership values. If the target’s total is greater than the Psyker’s total, nothing happens. If the Psyker’s total is greater than or equal to the target’s total, the target model suffers an automatic Wound with no armour or cover saves allowed. Purge Soul has no effect on vehicles.
5
Cleansing Flame
| The psyker harnesses the very fire in his soul, creating a wall of white-hot psychic flame that blasts forth and purges his foes from the battlefield. |
Warp Сharge: 2
Cleansing Flame is a nova power with the following profile:
| Range | S | AP | Type |
| 9" | 5 | 4 | Assault 2D6, Ignores Cover, Soul Blaze |

Vortex of Doom
| The psyker rends the material realm asunder, tearing a rift between the material realm and the howling destruction of the Warp, condemning his foes to total destruction. |
Warp Сharge: 3
Vortex of Doom is a witchfire power with the profile below. If, when using this power, the Psyker fails his Psychic test, he automatically suffers Perils of the Warp.
| Range | S | AP | Type |
| 12" | D | 1 | Assault 1, Blast, Vortex |
