Magic Standards
This totem causes those to look upon it to realise their own mortality, as images of the futility of their own small lives within the grand scheme of the Old Ones wash though their spirit.
All enemy units with Line of Sight to the Totem of Prophecy suffer a -1 penalty to their Leadership. This standard has no effect on models with Immunity (Psychology).
Beams of intense sunlight streaming from this standard make it impossible to focus upon it without squinting, making it nigh impossible for archers to draw a bead on their target. Those who stare too long at the Sun Standard are said to go blind.
