Subject: Want to start Thousand Sons.. What do I need..?

So, I'v been glancing at Chaos Marines, And Thousand Sons (Also Death Guard) for a while now and with the Thousand Sons getting amazing new models (My favorite marine models ever) and the Traitor Legions supplement bringing rules for all the legions, I thought, Why not take the plunge? So far I have the Chaos Marine Codex, 24 Rubrics Marines, 2 Aspiring Sorcerors (The old finecrap models unfortunately..) a Chaos Rhino, And a Chaos Predator. Other then the Traitor Legions book (It does have the rules for the new Thousand Sons models right?) What else would I need to buy to get started with my Thousand Sons? I'd like some advice at what models to buy to get up to a small starting force of thousand Sons.

yes traitor legion has the rules. in terms of bare bones, well you'll need a sorc for your HQ, I'd reccomend getting a squad of the occult terminators so you can build the basic war coven formation.

Do you want to use Magnus? You will need Wrath of Magnus for him.
Do you want to use Daemon support (great for WC batteries)? In that case you will need the Daemon codex (optional Curse of the Wulfen and Wrath of Magnus).
The most use Thousand Sons Detachment involves a maxxed out War Cabal, if you want to use this you will need 15 Terminators, a box of Exalted Sorcerors and, if you want, Ahriman. I like to support this with Ahriman's Exiles (sweet 3+ casting) and a Daemon detachment for cheap warp charges to fuel your psychic phase.

He is...
Traitor Legions doesn't contain the Discipline of Change however, but it still contains Discipline of Tzeentch as well as all the rules for the new TS-units (Magnus, Rubrics, Occult Termies, Tzaangors, Exalted Sorcerers, Ahriman) and TS-formations.
OP; Unless you're gonna play CAD (which is totally feasible due to how lack-luster the TS "decurion" formation is), I suggest at least one box of Scarab Occult Terminators, since both the Core formations for Thousand Sons require them.
(War Cabal requires 1-3 units, Sekhment Conclave requires 3-9 units.)

Does Wrath of Magnus have anything for Thousand Sons marines (Not daemons, Exept Magnus) that isent in Traitor Legions?
I think I'l buy the Traitor Legions book, A box of Occult terminators, And either Ahriman, Or the box with the 3 Sorcerers to get started. ^_^

Nope. Just fluff and tzeentch daemons.
Just to be awkward, the full lore of change, which Magnus knows all of, is printed in Curse of the wulfen, not Wrath of Magnus.
(I think it's in the new edition of chaos daemons too)

That is definitely an improvement on the old model, not sure if they have gone over the top with it though. :/
Will have to see some more pictures of it (and Kairos Fateweaver) before I make my decision.
