Scarab Occult Terminators
The Scarab Occult Terminators, originally known as the Sekhmet and Magnus' Veterans, were the Veteran Space Marine Battle-Brothers of the Thousand Sons Legion who served as the Primarch Magnus the Red's elite Honour Guard.
They were made up of the best and brightest of the Thousand Sons Legion's Astartes and were equipped with resplendent crimson and ivory Tactical Dreadnought Armour, with jade scarabs gleaming on their breastplates and golden crests rearing from their Atef helmets.
Their visors were marred by a single vertical slash that obscured the right eye lenses of their helmets. This was in honour of their Primarch, nicknamed the Cyclops, due to the loss of his right eye from peering too deeply into the mysterious realms of the Immaterium.
These fell warriors, whose reputation was well-known throughout the Great Crusade in the late 30th and early 31st Millennia, were the dour Terminator elite of the Thousand Sons Legion, trained all their lives to fight as a single unit and tempered by the long wars of conquest and Imperial Compliance.
The Scarab Occult did not fight as individuals, but almost as a single body of one mind. They formed a wall of hulking, armoured bodies and flashing long-hafted Force Axes.

In battle, they often changed position to counter their foes, and where one of their enemies moved to strike a blow against one of the Sekhmet, his brothers to either side moved to defend him. The Scarab Occult were trained in more than simple bladework and marksmanship.
The psychic sorcery that would eventually condemn their Legion was the decisive advantage held by the Thousand Sons elite in battle. They could ignite the very air and turn it against their enemies like a living tide, twisting their minds so that they struck at their own allies or conjured shields and blades of kinetic force.
The few Sekhmet that remained fled alongside the rest of the surviving Thousand Sons to the Planet of the Sorcerers at the conclusion of the Burning of Prospero during the opening years of the Horus Heresy.
Years later, during their long exile, following the casting of the disastrous sorcerous ritual known as the Rubric of Ahriman, these fine examples of both warriors and psykers also had their physical bodies reduced to dust along with their non-psychic brethren.
Controlled by their Sorcerer masters, the undead Scarab Occult Terminators now advance upon their foes implacably and as silent as the grave.
