I'm wondering how you guys think it will fair up against thousand sons?

Cheers,

Thousand sons are expensive, make them come to you as your heldrake burns up all his guys. The ap3 on their boltguns will almost make sure any wounds that get through will hurt unless in cover, but it will be hard for them to get through your t5. That would be my plan anyway. Use the oblits to rip them apart as they make their way crossed the field. Try to snipe any psykers.

Think about swaping out oblits for havocs +4 ac. Volume of fire >low ap.

Or tie his units down with maulerfiends. If desperate proxy your oblits as murtilators and ds them close as fire magnets to avert massive ap3 for a turn.

Since he has a lot of AP3, why not go for more 2+ saves? Then again, 2x2 Oblits seem good at this points level. Stay in cover with your Plague marines and go for the objectives in the last couple of turns. Should do it!

As a TS player,two of the things that annoy me are a good CC unit and 2+ saves. Mutilators or CC termies are a good choice.
