Back at it again! Idea is first three squads can infiltrate. Terminators (power lances are for fluff) are flamer heavy as a deterrent to close combat squads--we want Ahriman to shoot 3 witchfires every turn of the game to try to earn those 230 points back. Predators are there to turn 1 kill armor to support infiltrating squads. Hell Blades are to get air superiority for very few points, and the ferrus infernus is there for fluff, his name is Khadeth. You might be able to talk me into switching his loadout but he stays in the list

Prodigal Sons 1850 Points:

Ahriman (Warlord)
5 Chaos Terminators- Heavy Flamer, Combi-Flamers, Power Lances, MoT (Ahriman)
9 Thousand Sons- Rhino
9 Thousand Sons- Rhino
Ferrus Infernus- Dedication to Tzeentch, Host of Daemonic Iron, Plasma Cannon, Power Fist w/ Heavy Flamer
Chaos Predator- TL Lascannon, Lascannon Sponsons
Chaos Predator- TL Lascannon, Lascannon Sponsons
Chaos Predator- TL Lascannon, Lascannon Sponsons
Chaos Hell Blade- Helstorm Autocannon
Chaos Hell Blade- Helstorm Autocannon

as a list: pretty fun, though it's only 26 infantry and 8 vehicles, so durrability may come to be an issue.

for personal TS fluff: up to however you planed yours out

for 'official' TS fluff: Pretty vehicle heavy for a TS warband, and I'm not to sure on the 'dedication to tzeentch' from a fluff stand point for TS (a Legion who pretty well hates tzeentch for the whole prospero and rubricae thing )

True the wording is bad, but Khadeth is probably dust inside, just like the rubric marines. As such, the rules for that special rule fit the bill, giving him a small invuln save.
As for the armor, I know the Prodigal sons don't have 6 tanks and 2 flyers lying around, but seriously, YOU CANNOT footslog rubrics, it just doesn't work out, I've tried it. There's a certain point where trying to stick to lore makes you lose every game you play with these guys.

Does this terminator squad seem good? I was thinking I'd infiltrate them behind whatever LoS-blocking terrain the map has and toss beam witchfires from behind it, and if anyone tries to come around the bend and stop him the termies open up and then charge with le power lances.
