Greetings everyone. Long time lurker, first time poster . Looking for advice on my list. I got into 40k on the tail end of 7th edition. I am now working on a 1ksons list (finally will have a full chaos undivided collection). I am still new to the game and still making mistakes. I rarely win. I want to make sure my list at least is not killing my chances at victory. I am looking to go to the local LGS and be competitive. I currently play with friends, they have Orks, Admech/Knight/IG soup and Dark Angels. I have a grudge vs the Knight player because I have yet to beat him. LGS Meta has everything. I prefer TAC lists. I do not have unlimited funds, but any advice on what to buy next is also appreciated. Points left over on purpose to adjust. We usually play either BRB missions or ITC. Thanks in advance.

“Nor public flame, nor private, dares to shine; Nor human spark is left, nor glimpse divine! Lo! thy dread empire, Chaos! is restored; Light dies before thy uncreating word:thy hand, great Anarch! lets the curtain fall; And universal darkness buries all.”
I myself recently started building Thousand Sons, because I like their lore and models.
My games are usually fairly small since I only have a few units atm.
I also dislike Tzaangors, but a lot of the competitive lists at tournaments are running blue tides with Tzaangors, Shamans, and Enlightened. Usually paired with Ahriman on a disk.
Looking at your list, you can condense some of it down to save you space, and open up an extra detachment of what ever you want.

Can be added to the Supreme Command Detachment, freeing you up another detachment, since the SCD comes with a lord of war choice.
You can save a few points by switching one or two of the Exalted Sorcs, to normal Sorcs, since they have the same number of spells, casts, and denials minus the reroll 1s that the Exalteds have. Ahriman acts like a Exalted Sorc, with better casts, stats, and still has the reroll 1s.
Im guessing majority of your army is going to be close combat, except for the cultists?
