So basically, the Hexwarp Thrallband centers on a concept titled the Flow of Magic. Your deployment zone is always within your Flow of Magic, and you can capture No Man's Land or your opponent's deployment zone by controlling at least half of the objective markers within each region to put them within your Flow of Magic.
Why would you want to do that? Well, if your Thousand Sons units are within a region that has your Flow of Magic, you get to +1 to wound rolls for psychic attacks. That doesn't mean you're completely reliant on your Flow of Magic, though - if there's no Flow of Magic, then you default to rerolling wound rolls of 1s for your psychic attacks.
You get enhancements that add 2 to the Strength of psychic weapons in the bearer's unit, or increase the range of your psychic abilities while allowing you to reroll Hazardous tests. There's another that switches on Flow of Magic permanently, at the expense of rituals.
We also have a bunch of Stratagems, but the standout one is giving your Rubric Marines Deep Strike, or if you use it on Scarab Occult Terminators instead, they get to Deep Strike more than 6" away from an enemy unit instead of 9". The other Stratagems are fun and cool, giving your pysker units Stealth and if they're within your Flow of Magic, they get Cover too!
But what interests me is the Adeptus Mechanicus detachment slated for tomorrow! I wonder what they'll have in store for my little cyborg soldiers...
