Basic Sorcerer HQ is basic but fluffy. Yay fluff. The Daemon Herald flies around with Screamers on the front lines trying to get a 3++ invulnerable with rerolling 1s on his squad with the grimoire, casting divination on frontline marines and chomping things to bits. Horrors are cannon fodder and fearless objective campers. Havocs autocannon things to bits. Chaos marines and Sons do what they best - eat Space Marines for breakfast.

My meta is usually pretty heavily space marine occupied, so I have always loved my Thousand Sons. However I do also see some trouble with other Xenos lists. Opinions?

Fun list dude.

I say scrap the disc on the herald and stick him with the pink horrors. Then boost up the number in that squad to 16, so they can get mastery level 3. This formation is know as the Pinkstar, and can kill riptides with all its flickering fire shots.

I dislike autocannons. But it seems you have enough to maybe do some damage. Also I think you miscalculated on the points there. Since you just have 4 autocannons, I believe each squad cost 115 points.

Good luck my chaotic brethren.
