Legiones Astartes Thousand Sons

The Thousand Sons are one of the Legions hit hardest by the lack of their Legiones Astartes rule, given that it will probably give them all of their sorcery.  On that note here are some rules to allow thousand sons to have some psychic fun.  Once Forgeworld makes the actual Legiones Astartes (Thousand Sons) this rule will become obselete.

Legiones Astartes (Thousand Sons)
All units with  Legiones Astartes (Thousand Sons) are Stubborn.

Any unit may replace Stubborn with the Brotherhood of Psykers (mastery level 1) rule for 10pts per unit. 

Independent Characters (except Consuls) may replace Stubborn with the Psyker rule for free.  Psykers must buy up to 2 mastery levels for 15pts each.  Any psyker may purchase a Force weapon for 25pts.

Thousand Sons Librarians may replace Stubborn with a 1 Mastery Level for free, this allows them to go to Mastery Level 3.

Thousand Sons Psykers and Brotherhood of Psykers may choose from the Telekinesis, Pyromancy or Divination disciplines.

Any model with the Psyker or Brotherhood of Psykers rule counts as a Psyker for the purposes of the Edict of Nikaea and as such should be declared as a restricted unit. 

The Burning Lore and Brotherhood of Sorcerers
The Thousand Sons whilst having a greater understanding of the mysteries of the warp than almost anyone else in the Imperium are still somewhat limited in their knowledge.  As such they tread down a dark path in some cases knowingly, in others unwittingly.  Instead of taking the rules as given above Thousand Sons may use the rules below.  This can be decided on a unit by unit basis.
 
Any unit may replace Stubborn with the Brotherhood of Sorcerers (Mastery Level 1) rule for 10pts per unit.

Independent Characters (except Consuls) may replace Stubborn with the Burning Lore rule for free.  Models with Burning Lore are Psykers and must buy up to 2 mastery levels for 15pts each.  Any psyker may purchase a Force weapon for 25pts.

Thousand Sons Librarians may replace Stubborn with Burning Lore and get 1 Mastery Level for free, this allows them to go to Mastery Level 3.

Thousand Sons with Burning Lore and Brotherhood of Sorcerers may choose from the Telepathy, Biomancy or Daemonology (sanctic or maelific) disciplines.

Any model with the Burning Lore or Brotherhood of Sorcerers rule does not count as a Psyker for the purposes of the Edict of Nikaea, however they such should still be be declared as a restricted unit.
