Hey guys, trying my hand at something a bit new (I usually play Orks). This is my second attempt at a Thousand Sons list, my first game (using Heldrakes and Scarab Occult) didn't go very well so Im focussing this list more around shooting with psyker support. Let me know your thoughts
Battalion:

Ahriman on Disc of Tzeentch with inferno bolt-pistol: 167 pts

4 units of rubric marines, each with 1 soulreaper and one warpflamer, force stave on the sorcerer: 256 pts each

Spearhead Detatchment:

Exalted Sorcerer on Disc of Tzeentch, force stave: 135 pts

3 Hellbrutes with hellbrute fist, twin-las, and combi-bolters: 164 pts each

1 Hellbrute same as above but heavy flamer instead of combi-bolter: 179 pts

Totals up to 1997 pts

Would really appreciate any feedback; thanks guy

I really like the HB Plasma, as its only 1 mortal wound on 1, and cheaper than a las cannon, for average same shots. Though I run mine with a DP nearby to RR 1's to hit. I can say of the 3 games I played with them. Every time I did roll a 1 and wounded myself, at least once per game I rolled a 6 and was able to shoot again.
I really like Helbrutes in this edition. And Rubrics are solid for that bonus Save.

I like the theme and the list. Not going to speak on competitive level, because no one really knows what is what at this time. 8 Str 9shot seems decent enough, plus the -2 on bolters for 1000sons is really good when it come to volume of fire. A DP appose to the second sorcerer would be my only suggestion, this gives RR 1's to hit for a small bubble.

I second getting a DP in there if possible.

Armies that bring weight of fire or that get in your face quickly will be trouble as you have no screen for the Rubrics.
