Thanks for all your replies. I've played some proxy matches and found it difficult to take out LRs. I ended up making another list and post in the Tactics section @ if anyone is interested in taking a look:

45 points left over.

Go or no go? Thank you.

For the Sons, I'd drop the Bolt for Doombolt or Wind of Chaos, so the bolter shots aren't wasted when you try to pop a tank. Meltabombs are fine, as an emergency thing or points filler, though.

You could drop a unit of oblits for a Sorcerer, give him Lash, and instead put Bolt of Change, wind of chaos, or warptime on the DP.

trust me when you have 1 daemon prince you need 2 so i would suggest taking a second as they always atract all the fire for turn 1 & 2

Yeah, take 2 winged DP's.

10x Berzekers, Skull Champion and Powerfist included (250)
7x Plague Marines, 2x Meltaguns, Plague Champion and Powerfist included (221)
9x Thousand Sons, Aspiring Sorceror with Bolt of Change and Meltabombs included (274)
1x Rhino (35)
1x Rhino (35)
1x Rhino (35)

I'd consider a mono-dimensional list with CSM troops and Plague Marines.

Why does two DPs make a difference?
You are going to lose one - surely everyone would concentrate fire on one
So second one makes combat - is that it? One DP is redundant?

Looks pretty good. I haven't really used the sons yet,so I can't offer anything for them.

You could definitely take out an obliterator squad,and swap it out for some terminators,if that's your thing. The slow and purposeful will get on your nerves, and Termies are pretty okay.

Welcome to Dakka beefybchu:

Princes are great in pairs, as for lash princes, just don’t play relying on them.

Zerkers are ok.
Plague marines are ok.
TS: the dustbuckets IMO need to lose BoC, go for wind instead.

Oblits are a bit much IMO.
I suggest the AC/LC pred in exchange for one set of oblits, just to add a bit more anti-transport.

LRs are gonna be a pain in the ass regardless.

Deep Striking the Oblits for mult-melta action is probably your best chance against them without altering your list considerably.

Just keep in mind that those Oblits are probably toast after that.
