Aiming for "relatively casual play but if I did some small friendly-ish competitions I wouldn't get smashed".
I want to keep Thousand sons in there as my paint scheme / conversions are thousand sons style.
Let me know what you think, thanks.

10x Summoned Lesser Daemons - Get in on rhino, aim for anything that could assault TS

Heavy -
2x Oblits (seperate) - Tank/Transport Hunters

Also Considered dropping summoned daemons and oblits for 3x terms w/ melta-combi and heavy flame in land raider.
Maybe dropping chosen for something like that?
So many options!? Help!

I would lose the Daemons and take something which would pack a punch against vehicles. 2 Obliterators won't be enough AT firepower for a 1250 point game. I suggest you remove the Daemons and take either a Dread or another unit of 2 Obliterators.

Yep Valkyrie hit one point you will have difficulty with. I also suggest dropping WT off your Asp. Sorcerers for WoC. You dont want 1k sons in HtH and rerolling for two hits really isnt going to make a huge difference anyways. Also not sure why all flamers in the chosen squad. I say 2meltas and 2flamers would work for you better.

Oops forgot you might want to think about trading BoC on your DP for WoC also. I can see what you are thinking with it but to many chances to roll low. I have used this combo before on DPs but it really doesnt do as well as Warp/Wind combo. Plus it gives you a slight chance of doing damage to all tanks with a 4+ glance. Just my opinion though.

Thanks Valk and Vindicator. Both of your ideas make a lot more sense.

Def. get that WoC on DP and Sorcs.

Would it make more sense to get las/rocket or melta/rocket on dread?

what about running Ahriman?

He is IMO more of a fun, and have crap load of points to spend, character. He works great if you want to turn everybody and their brother into spawn but really not worth the ridiculous point cost.

Yeah, I would rather save the points and not use him.

Here's the new list:

Heavy -

Considering dropping dread for another Chosen squad running same loadout? Or if keep dread, lascannon or melta?

Thx

i'd say drop dread and put in three termi's, just to say look over here and make your oppenent Think.

If you feel like having the lesser daemons after all, you need PI on your Thousand Sons so you can saftely DS them, this could be fun to do with the terminators to if you take em. Dreadnought can hurt you alot if you're unlucky, but that's part of the fun I guess xP If you need more anti tank you can always give your sorcerers Bolt of Change, it's not the best anti tank, but atleast it's something.

Yeah I'm a little concerned with the dread, how are defilers? Also If i did keep dread do i want melta or las?
