I'm going to a tournament tomorrow(!) and I'm insecure about what kind of powers I should aim to get for Ahriman and my sorcerer. I have not had the opportunity to try my list as I was painting like a maniac until yesterday, and I'm not yet used to the new edition (due to university studies, life and stuff). If anyone could give me a pointer I would be grateful

Limiting factor 1: This is the list I have to use. All army lists are submitted to the TO beforehand and any changes will lower my total score at the end of the tournament.

Limiting factor 2: Invisibility is nerfed during the tournament, offering no protection against template weapons/powers.

Limiting factor 3: I have no daemons. I have no time to paint daemos. I can't borrow daemos. - So no summoning



Armylist in spoiler

The Sorcerer has no mark to give him greater freedom picking powers and I will have 10-15 dices to play around with.

All I know for sure is that I'll make Ahriman roll on telepathy at least once for Psychic Shriek (that times 3 should be bad news for almost anything). Besides telepathy, I'm thinking of using biomancy, both for Ahriman and the Sorcerer. But should I keep my Sorcerer pure or mix disciplines on him?

Daemons are planned , right now I don't even have anything for "those" rolls on the Boon table

A pure Biomancy Sorcerer sounds like something that would work.

The Sorcerer and Ahriman will not necessarily go with the terminators, it just looked good that way for the picture.

Ahriman can for example join one of the 1ksons squads in a rhino, and I might (depending on opposition) use the cultists as wound-pool for either of them.
