Editing Consul (section)

===[[Diabolist]]===
Is it any surprise that these consuls hailed from the [[Word Bearers|XVII Legion]]? Indeed, as [[Lorgar]] dove further into the Primordial Truth, so too did his sons continue diving into this forbidden lore of the daemons, even as this knowledge corrupted their souls and twisted them. One might assume them as the predecessor to the [[Master of Possession]] that would lead the Legions of Chaos, and that is quite close a guess.

In the Horus Heresy tabletop, these consuls are special psykers with force weapons who partake in forbidden daemonology, essentially becoming daemons. This will require the rest of the army to take Dark Channeling to similarly become daemons if you want the Diabolist to join a squad. Unlike the Librarian, they see no need for a psychic hood since summoning daemons to fuck shit sideways is the whole point of what they're doing.
