Why do they have a mastery level and no psychic powers? Also, their leadership is too high for cultists.

Updated power list, also, although it is high, its only so they don't explode when they cast a spell, taking a psychic test on a ld of 7 wouldn't be very fun.

Psychic Focus: If a Psyker with the independent character rule is joined to the Thrall Wizard Squad, then you may choose to drain one or more members of the squad to gain more power. This ability must be used at the beginning of the movement phase before psychic powers are cast. Select one Psyker with the independent character rule joined to the Thrall Wizard Squad and any number of Thrall Wizards or Thrall Champions in that squad to drain. Remove the drained models - no save of any sort is allowed. The models do not count as casualties, so no morale check is required if 25% or more of the models are removed; however, if the entire unit is removed it counts as destroyed and awards victory points as normal if they would be. The nominated independent character then gains a number of warp charges equal to the drained models until the end of the turn.

Sate the Fiends: If a Psyker with the independent character rule is joined to the Thrall Wizard Squad, and suffers a perils of the warp, you may instead allocate the wound to Thrall Wizard or Thrall Champion within 2" of the Psyker.

So, I actually have been trying to think of a good way to make them multi cult. str 2 was because I based them on the psyker battle squad, and removing the CCW wouldn't do anything, because they get one for free according to the BRB if they don't have one. On a similar note, autoguns would make them to good at shooting i think, as they would have rapid fie guns, and magic.

I am aware, I think that 2 attacks is where they should be (Cultists come stock with 2 for example) also, if they use their psychic powers, they can't shoot regular guns anyway. I think pistols/ccw is not the most effective thing on them, but I think making them the most effective they can possibly be allows for them to more easily become unbalanced. Also, I just cannot visualize a spell-caster with a rifle......
