Allied unit — Changehost of Deceit

This sheet does not carry the faction's own keyword: a normal Thousand Sons list cannot include it. It only becomes legal when your detachment is Changehost of Deceit — and inside that detachment it measures A at 14/20 against the codex's own sheets.

Measured, per 100 points spent on this unit	Value
Damage into light infantry Wounds the default guns and fists are expected to deal, in one full turn, to cheap 1-wound bodies — our reference horde and infantry targets.	7.9
Damage into elites Same measure against tough multi-wound infantry with good saves — think heavy armoured veterans and terminator-grade bodies.	2.4
Damage into vehicles Same measure against tanks and monsters — high toughness, many wounds. The anti-tank column of the codex.	1.1
Staying power Points of enemy shooting (averaged over 6 reference gun profiles) needed to put 100 points of this unit in the case. Higher = tougher per point.	446.6
Objective control Printed OC across the unit, per 100 points — raw ability to out-number an objective. Ties deny, so more total OC is how you take ground.	4.6
Nerve Chance (%) the unit passes a battle-shock test. Below half strength, a failed test zeroes its OC — a big squad with weak nerve can hold nothing at the worst moment.	58%
Kill points conceded Victory points the enemy’s kill-based secondary missions can bank when this unit dies (big squads, big models and characters all pay extra).	3.1

At 3 models for 65 points, default loadout. Modelled: 0% of this sheet's printed abilities carry a typed verdict.
