So pull ed the trigger and decided to do a 1000 sons pre heresy/prospero army. (And after reading what codex would fit best, ill be using grey knight. i know its been done... oh well)

So henchmen warrior with bolters = spire guard
Henchmen servitors = spire guard
Perhaps a dreadknight as magnus if FW does the model.
Purifiers, termies, strike squad as the thousand sons.
Coteaz as my Phocias Dakar (spelling?) or Ahriman

But an army should be some what competitive.
MY POINT TO THIS POST is...My question is did thousand sons preheresey/ spire guard/ last stand on prospero have access to Storm birds? Or Landraiders... if i used them would it take the fluff away from the army?
I can justify a henchmen deathcult asssassin unit as my "silent ones".. add a banisher. Because Magnus and thousand sons still believe they control the daemons of the warp not the other way..
But how about a landraider redeemer? (using a landraider proteus from forgeworld and modifying the guns) or a Storm Eagle model from forgeworld "counts as storm raven" ?

Would a Land raider or flyer fit the fluff of preheresy thousand sons? ( If i remember correctly, during the 1000 sons horus heresey novel, Ahriman does plead with Magnus to assemble the stormbirds? Assemble the defences, tanks? So even if last stand of prospero didnt use them or didnt mention them taking part in the battle in the book, does not mean pre heresey didnt have access to them?

Thoughts?

Thanks.

Yes they had themm.

In A thousand Sons they use a bunch of Landraiders
they also fly in for assaulting a city.
