Well, I'm new to WH40K and i have never played a game. I do have some WH:FB experience, but that's all. Anyway I decided to start collecting a Thousand Sons army (for the fluff). Well anyway my main concern in this army list is to make it a pure Tzeentch Thousand Son army.

Here's the list

HQ:

- Chaos Lord
- Terminator Armour
- Mark of Tzeentch
- Daemon weapon

- Daemon Prince
- Mark of Tzeentch
- Bolt of Change
- Gift of Chaos

Elites:

- 5 Chaos Terminators
- Mark of Tzeentch
- 1 Reaper Autocannon

Troops:

- Thousand Sons squad
- 8 Thousand Sons
- Aspiring Sorcerer
-Bolt of Change
- Rhino
- Dozer Blade
- Daemonic Possesion

- Thousand Sons squad
- 8 Thousand Sons
- Aspiring Sorcerer
-Bolt of Change
- Rhino
- Dozer Blade
- Daemonic Possesion

Heavy Support:

- Defiler

- Chaos Predator
- Side Sponson Lascannons
- Dozer blade
- Extra armour

I have absolutely no idea how it would do on the battlefield and that's why I'm posting it here so that I at least know if it's complete crap or maybe it's even OK.

BTW it's actually 1513 pts this sums up to so please keep this in mind that I'll have to drop something anyway.

Its not Bad, not gak but not the best in the world, just a few pointers, the DP, he'd probly work well, with him ya lord and 5 termy's and a defilor on the front line packing a punch with some AP 3 guns behind them lending support it would work out not bad, but if i was you id drop the DP and make him a sorceror, with the mark of Tzeentch, and a few good power riding up his ally.

BDA

Not bad. Two TS squads in Rhinos. Drop daemonic possession for extra armor. Drop the Lord and add either another DP or 2 Obliterators.

I'd suggest dropping the dozer blade... get a combi bolter or something instead, or drop the extra armour as well and get daemonic posession.

Thanks for the replies first of all.

About the obliterators. Somebody told me that they don't fit into the thousand sons fluff well (I assume it's, because of the mutations), but correct if I'm wrong. And even though they're really cool and powerful I don't want to take them if they don't fit the TS theme, but I'll think about the second DP.

CaptainCommunism: Are you talking about the rhinos or predator?

why not to take possessions?

when the vehicle suffer a glancing hit,with daemonic posession...the results of 1,2,3,and4s will do no harm at all.

and with extra armour...1,2,3,and4s all would harmly.the only effect is a 4 would be downgrade to a 3...

BS3?It is a rhino!look at its miserable armanent...would BS2 and BS6 make any differences?

About the obliterators. Somebody told me that they don't fit into the thousand sons fluff well (I assume it's, because of the mutations), but correct if I'm wrong.

Indeed, they don't fit into a pure TS army.

I'll think about the second DP.

A Lord can be knocked down by a power fist attack (i.e., instantly killed), a DP not.

i dunno but the reaper autocannon seems a bit out of place to me, considering you have nice bolters and devastating magic

Based on your replies and the chaos article I read I thought of the following changes

- Get rid of lord and put a second DP
- Instead of gift of chaos, both DP will have warptime (edit: both DP will be identical in mark, spells and equip)
- Get rid of reaper autocannon (Because now I was 28 points over the limit so by removing it i'm only 3 over the limit)
- To get under 1500 I was thinking of simply dropping a dozer blade off of one of the vehicles, but i'm not sure whether it should be from one of the rhinos or from the predator

What do you think of these changes?

The changes are fine.

Dozer blades can only be used when the vehicle moves up to 6''. Therefore, they are pretty useless for Rhinos (often move with high speed, 12'', and the squad disembarks for rapid firing), but Predators would benefit from it (being obscured gives a 4+ cover save).
