What confused me was the following...

HQ-
Ahriman 250pts
Chaos Sorcerer with Mark of Tzeentch (x2, 290pts)

It looked like you had Ahriman and two Sorcs because I have no idea was the x2 ment... looked like either you have 2 Sorcs or two marks of Tzeentch.

OH! i need to change that, orginially i had the warcoven in there and they were part of that with the other sorcerers, it is just one... and disreguard the points too, i downloaded a codex and found out later it was a player edited codex on how they though the game should be run.... sorry for the confusion.

Oh my, lol.

Make sure ya have the right points before saturday!

yeah a buddy of mine is going to loan me his actual codex, no since in buying one when the new one is about to come out

Good luck with your game! show them the 1k sons are to be feared! and if you wanna wait til the new codex you could get army builder its a very useful tool to have especially if you play multiple armies.

From what I understand, this current Codex may still be viable and might be upgraded through White Dwarf (Like SoB and Demons). From what I hear, there will end up being two Codexs, this one is 'Chaos Renegades' and the new one will be 'Chaos Legions'. If this is actually true or not...who knows.

Been waiting since last December for this new codex when it first was suppose to be released. Till I have it in my hands and GW says there is only one Codex, I will just have to wait and see.

Viable meh, but a general sh*t sandwich, definitely, my friend

i can only dream in the new codex daemon princes would be moved to elites!

i agree that would be pretty awesome, or maybe even the Chaos Sorcerers to Elites,

I mean you have a Chaos Terminator Lord, you could choose to take the sorcerer as a "Sorcerer Lord" as an HQ or a sorcerer just as an elite unit,
the "sorcerer lord could be similar to Ahriman in that he is mastery lvl 3 or whatever, but could come cheaper point wise, and that would let you take more regular sorcerers at lvl 2 instead up them eating up an HQ slot

I would buy that. Heck, I wouldn't mind seeing them as HQ that take up zero force org slots, like IG Tech priest and Ministorum Priests (like the worthless greater Demon). Then you can also make mastery level cost something as well, like in the old days. So you can buy a guy and then pay more points to up hos mastery level from the base level to say lvl 3. Then make your true HQ sorcs mastery level 3 with a upgrade to make it 4 for points... because with Chaos it makes sense for the strongest to lead.

id like to take termi lords with daemon weapons more but for how cheap are princes are currently theres just no reason not to take them!

and dont diss the greater daemon ive had them do huge damage most of the time when i take them deffinately worth 100pts!

So my game went well this weekend, i won, BARELY! but i did win.
it was a 1000 point game,

army list was

HQ- Chaos Sorcerer with Mark of Tzeentch
130 Points

Elite- Dreadnought with Plasma Cannon
105 Points

Troops- Chaos Space Marines (8) with Aspiring Champion with Power Weapon and Plasma Pistol, Icon and Mark of Tzeentch 180 Points
Thousand Sons (8) Aspiring Sorcerer, Mark of Tzeentch 244 Points

Fast Attack- Raptors (4) Aspiring Champion with Lightning Claws 140 Points

Heavy Support- Havoc Squad(4) Aspiring Champion, 2 Heavy Bolters, 1 Lascannon, 1 Missile Launcher 175 Points

Interesting, what powers did you give the Sorcerer HQ?

The Aspiring Sorcerer also must purchase one, for a total of 254pts per basic 9man Thousand Sons squad.

i used the army builder and thats what i gave me, i guess i didnt click a box somewhere but oh well i still had the extra points for it to be legal anyway
and for the HQ sorcerer i got telekine dome so i swapped it for assail because almost all my units have invuln saves already cause of the mark of tzeentch
and i got the vortex of doom , for the aspiring i got shokwave, didnt like it and took assail for him too,

I played again a Tyranid army, they had more models than me but i killed them faster, me and the other guy just played till there where no more models left, who ever killed all of
the other guys first won (we are both still pretty new to the game)

My Invulnerable saves helped alot! My havocs and my Sorcerer killed most of his units, when it was all done i still had 4 of my 5 havocs, my Sorcerer, and 6 of my 9 Chaos Space marines
He got the Rest and my dread had killed 2 of my thousand sons -.- but such is life anyway it was fun and i think i did pretty well, just used the raptors to slow some of his monsters ( i dont know all the tryanid unit names but they were the smaller ones, they all look the same to me) and they killed a few and i just stayed back and shot and used my magic the whole time, i moved around to the side with my chaos space marines but my thousand sons units where too slow and got killed but hey its all good, i had fun and learned a little more about 6th ed looking forward to my next game this weekend, i'll let you know how it goes
