So I'm all about the models. Have loved the recent thousand sons and death guard releases and was wondering if they could be put together to make a viable 2000pt list?

Thought rules wise they would synergise reasonably well as both are about dishing out mortal wounds but have no idea where to start to put together a force that is balanced (doesn't need to be uber competitive at all). Wanted to incorporate a few fav models from the two armies.

TS:
Ahriman
Horrors (assume they will be put into the ts codex)
Rubric marines
Maulerfiend
Heldrake

DG:
Mortarion
Plague marines
Nurglings
Blightlord terminators

Happy to drop or add anything else to make the list balanced (if it is at all possible).

Any help would be much appreciated!

To maintain the benefits of "pure" legion detachments it's best to split off the daemon units into another detachment, or summon them in.
I think there may be some synergy, in that The CSM psychic discipline is rather good and Ahriman is a good caster. Doubling down on psychic powers could be a strong way to play.

Thanks for your reply.

Will try and put a list together, have no experience with Chaos though and don't have any of the codexes so will probably be way off the mark. Think I'll just start with models that I like and go from there..

So have put a rough list together. I'm probably barking up the wrong tree but you never know!

Any thoughts?

Perhaps mixing Death Guard and Thousand Sons is the wrong way to go. Certainly it constitutes a small army.

Not owning any of these models its hard to try them out, perhaps I'll ask to proxy the whole army so I can try before I buy.

Does anyone have any experience with mixing these two Chaos gods? Any advice or thoughts greatly appreciated!
