I'm trying to get back into the game this summer after another year absent due to school. For an upcoming 1000 pt tourny, this is what i have to work with:

2 Demon Princes
2 Chaos sorcerers
5 obliterators
2 rhinos
18 thousand sons
14 plague marines

I have some spare cash to purchase some other models if this isn't enough. I'm at loss for what to do because I went 0-1-2 in three games i played today.

Thanks gents.

Woops I forgot to add, the build I used today was:

2 demon princes with Mark of Slaanesh and lash

3 obliterators, separated into separate squads but maybe i should have clumped them. gave my opponent too many kill pts that way.

9 TS in rhino
no upgrades

6 plague marines and 1 plague champion in rhino
no upgrades

Total 997 i believe

Your daemon princes are good but you need to give you plauge marines weapons thay can take 2 why arnt you giving them any thats just piontles.
Also your thousand sons chapion hase to have a psychic power just give him doom bolt.
So to fix the list drop the rino off the ts thay don't realy need it thay have slow and puroseful and give the plauge marines 2 plasma guns and get rid of the champion in the plauge.
Also you can drop an oblitorator and keep the rino on the thousand sons and give both daemon princes wings.

In this small of points 2 DP is a bit over board. I'd drop one, give the other one wings, because it needs it. Then give the PM 2x Meltas, and TS a power that you like, and give the Champ a PF and if the points are there beef up the squad.

If your Oblits are dieing so easily, then you're doing something wrong or your opponent is doing something very right. They shouldn't be getting to many shots thrown at them, esp in a 1000pt game. Remember its only a 4x4 tanble so Lascannons and Plasma Cannons already cover most of the table, so you can keep them back aways.

Thanks for the tips guys. I think I was having trouble with the oblits because we used large terrain in all of my matches and LOS was hard to achieve. Also, I played against two BA armies and on GK army that relied soley on transport and CC, so that could have been a general disadvantage I had.
