After much of trying to make a Thousand Sons list in which I could get my blue dudes into rapid fire reliably and cheaply, I've found this is impossible and I'm trying to make a gun line list. Let me know if you think this is even a viable tactic and how I can adjust my list. Thanks!

Ahriman (Warlord)
9 Thousand Sons- Melta Bombs, Rhino (Ahriman goes here)
10 Thousand Sons- Melta Bombs, Rhino
Heldrake- Baleflamer
Heldrake- Baleflamer
Aegis Defense Line- Quad Gun
Vindicator- Daemonic Possession
Vindicator- Daemonic Possession
Vindicator- Daemonic Possession
20 cultists- autoguns, shotgun on champion
Herald of Tzeentch- disk, lvl 3
10 pink horrors

cultists man the quad gun and hold backfield objective, tsons sit around in their boxes until its time to capture midfield. Drakes benefit from being off the board for the first few rounds so they can help clear objectives later. herald gets div prim so vindies/tsons can reroll scatter

I still think that inferno bolters overlap baleflamers, but the bale flamer ignores cover.

I think that if you were to do a gun line list then I would drop ahriman and just take a regular sorc with MoT. Swap vindicators for las preds. Oblits with MoT is viable.

But if you insist on taking ahriman, I would take 3 squads of 20 Thousand Suns and just foot slog which ever does not get infiltrated.

I think you'll find that it's real tough to build a gun line because of the range of your weapons. You are better off advancing and shooting your opponent into a corner. and then fry them with the bale flamer or with the vindicator pie plates.

basicaly use your thousands sons as a scare tactic
