Full wording ▾
When gathered in significant numbers, empyric eddies gust around the eerily silent Rubricae, reinforcing the sorcerous shackles that bind their spirits to their armour. So empowered, the Thousand Sons’ battle-brothers become nigh invulnerable. The rune-etched sarcophagus of their battle plate must be hacked apart piece by piece before the unquiet spirit within submits.
