Could Thousand Sons be a good army now?
Thousand Sons - The big rules change here is that when you play the Changehost of Deceit detachment, your Daemons now benefit from the Cabal of Sorcerers army rule. This should open up a completely new playstyle for Thousand Sons players to explore. In support of this, a number of units received some points adjustments down, while the Greater Daemons have mirrored the profile and points changes seen in Chaos Daemons.

My Emperor's Champion and Castellans got more expensive. Crusade Ancient (yawn) and Execrator (on the fence) went down. Still not a great time for my Templars.

This only makes a single detachment better, not the army. The detachment itself isn't great to begin with.

So, it's not as awesome as I was lead to believe?

This certainly makes that detachment better, allowing buffs to screamers who are not terrible and using the AP buff for flamers, but I really don't see any of these changes making that detachment better, or even on par with, the Cabal.
