Hey, this list will be playing a lot of standard missions, mostly Emperor's Will vs. Space Marines and maybe some Orks or Tyranids with their own Forgeworld goodies. No tournaments yet.. but if I do, it will be down the road and I will not have any other 40k models to sub in.
1848pts:
Ahriman (Warlord)
Sorcerer
-Burning Brand of Scalathrax
9 Thousand Sons
-Rhino
9 Thousand Sons
-Rhino
9 Thousand Sons (hop into Dreadclaw with Ahriman)
Fire Raptor Gunship
-Reaper Batteries w/ Malefic Ammo
-Possession
-Ceramite Armor
-Balefire Missiles
Chaos Sicaran
-Lascannon Sponsons
-Ceramite Armor
Relic Predator
-Autocannon w/ Inferno Bolts
-Heavy Bolter Sponsons w/ Malefic Ammo
What do you think? I hope to paint the Forgeworld stuff up just like my old TS stuff.

Ceramite is useless on the Sicaran. The armor is low enough that Melta would possibly get through anyway, but that's just how I feel.
Malefic ammunition is also absurdly expensive. I'd lose that from the Relic Predator, and I'm not sure what the difference is between that and the regular anyway.
Since Rubrics are terrible anyway, why not just go the extra mile and buy the Banner? Soul Blaze is meh, but it'll help somewhat with hordes, which Rubrics are largely inefficient against anyway.

I couldn't recommend any of those upgrades on the fie raptor either. Trim some points and try and get another unit in!

I disagree, meltas will be glancing the front armour on 5+ and the side and rear armour on 4+, that's nothing to scoff at.

Thank you for all your recommendations regarding the Fire Raptor. natpri771's remarks about the Sicaran are why I wanted the Ceramite. I fear that each army I play will at least have 1 deep striking melta unit.
It is very tempting to try and fit a small unit in.. Suggestions?

Oh and the Soul Blaze, lol.... To be honest I'm not too scared of Hordes. Psychic powers are not the End All Be All but I have scorched enough Tyranid and Ork hordes in the past that I feel Ahriman and the predator is enough at 1850 against the people I play. Flame Breath and Shriek is hilarious... x3
