I think that you should make an effort to add a changecaster and 20 brimstones into that Daemons detachment to make it into a battallion. You could drop one squad of rubrics. This would allow you to have 5 more CP and 30 horrors will be assault 3 and benifit a lot from flickering flames.

I find using Magnus is either hit or miss, if he gets into a list and does some damage then he is a game changer but going second against a decent gunline is disastrous. That said having karios there may help with that.

Also I have played against the Tzangor bomb and it is potentially a game winner. I would look to squeeze that in of you could. Less rubrics maybe would help with this again. Although they've got better with the beta bolter rules they're still expensive.

Okay interesting. What spells should I be running here in your experience?

1k sons have so many spells there's a difficulty in choosing the best 8. I tend to run deathhex and warptime on Magnus. Weaver of fates and glamour of Tzeentch also get used if I'm running him for added survivability. Diabolic strength is a gamechanger for that Daemon Prince.

Then just fit in as many extra moral wound spells as you can so you can snipe characters. Infernal gaze, Tzeentch's firestorm and doombolt can all be good.

Always run gaze of fate and flickering flames on your Tzeentch Daemons.
