The total number of the Sekhmet is unknown, but the force present with Ahriman on [[Aghoru]] numbered eighty-one.{{Fn|1c}} Aghoru was one of the first times that they deployed their newly issued [[Assault cannon|rotary cannons]], although they deliberately chose to continue to refer to the weapon by the name of the previous Terminator-issue support cannon, the [[Reaper Autocannon|Reaper]]. This was due to the numerological significance of the word ''reaper'', which fitted perfectly with the philosophy of the Thousand Sons.{{Fn|1b}} Following the [[Council of Nikaea]], the Scarab Occult Terminators took to cutting a vertical scar through the right lenses of their helmets in their primarch's image.{{Fn|1d}}

After the Heresy and the [[Rubric of Ahriman]], the Scarab Occult Terminators were reduced to mere [[Rubicae]] along with most of the Legion.{{Fn|2}} However, unlike ordinary Rubricae, their armour were engraved with arcane formulae and potent spells, so when the Rubric struck them, the energies of these cursed inscriptions blended with remnants of the Terminators' souls, wreathing Scarab Occult Terminators forever in shimmering shields of sorcerous energy, making them resistant to perils of empyric transfer, and therefore ideally suited to teleportation assault.{{Fn|5}} In the 41st millennium, they wage war at the side of Thousand Sons [[Sorcerer]]s though they still kept the old name - '''Scarab Occult Terminators'''.{{Fn|2}}
