Has anyone here had any success allying in daemons? I'm currently putting together a list with a Lord of Change, Changecaster, and unit of Pink Horrors.

Lord of change is great, changecaster is kinda unplayable (as are all our heralds really) and pinks can be decent backfield screener, but i'd rather bring blues for the infiltrator utility

Oh and Changeling is almost an autotake IMO (if youre gonna soup that is)

"Thousand Sons only have to take a battle line Daemon unit if they're taking an Epic Hero (each one). So if you want a unit or two of Flamers or Screamers, or even Exalted Flamers or a Greater Daemon, you can. But stuff like the Changeling still comes with a tax".

This should actually be the rule for all chaos armies, as taking a unit of flamers or bloodcrushers was not breaking the meta, it was the nuglings and lone op crap that was.

I like the suggestions so far. A psyker cultist leader would be cool and make them more distinct from CSM cultists. We definitely need some more AT power as well, so devastator style squad would be good.

There are some rumors floating around about daemons being folded into a book with the distinct god legions. I am not sure how I feel about that. On the one hand, every major engagement I have read concerning Thousand Sons post-heresy they always use daemons in droves to supplement their rather small force of rubrics. But then I don't want to book to devolve into magnus plus daemons and lose the thousand sons feel of it. Also that would suck for anyone who wants to run mixed daemons.

thoughts?

AoS does a Tzeentch book and its the most tzeentchian fun i've ever had, you can still opt to focus on mortals, on demons or go for a mixed force. I eagerly await the possibilty of my demons and thousand sons having some synergy

Be careful what you wish for, especially where Tzeentch is concerned. I could be wrong, but I don't see a lot of synergy between Arcanites and Daemons in Age of Sigmar right now.

The main "synergy" is that you can bring them together with no downside really.

-They both benefit from the same army rule, unlike 40k.
-There is no pts limit for either half, unlike 40k
-The army as a whole feels tzeentchian in the way it plays, unlike 40k

It's more of a list composition boon, where lesser demons are your "shitters" that can screen/grab objectives or spread wyrdflame, and mortals are the more punchy half the faction. So bringing horrors, backed up by strong casters and punchy units is really nice.

It would be interesting if they made Rubrics much more elite, instead of Legionaries with a better bolter and 5++. Make them really tough but more expensive, then have the army rely on daemons and mortals for the numbers aspect, which would really feel like the Thousand Sons in the lore.

Rubrics are already muuuuch more elite feeling than Legionnaires tbh.

I wouldn't say no to all is dust being back tho
