Thinking about coming back to 40k, been toying with the idea of TSons.

1850 even, I know it's a little boring, but I'd enjoy putting that many Sons on the table in one game. Competetive (for Sons)? Any glaring errors? Also, I'd like to try Gift of Chaos, but don't know if I can scrape up the points for Focus.

Not bad for 1k sons. You're playing your strengths of multi-wound marines and psychic powers well while trying to minimize your weakness in mobility with lots of armor. Wind of chaos is nice, but shooting is your best friend. You do close ranged fire fights better than anyone, so getting stuck in may be a bad idea. Granted, bolt of change a shooty army does not make. Even so, I'd like to see a defiler or another predator. If you scrapped one of the sons squads you could get a pred and 6 flamers, which would only lose you 5 wounds and gain you 3 more las cannons, which would be nice. It's also more scary armor for your opponent to shoot at, rather than your relatively fragile rhinoes.

Aside from that, the only thing that I can recomend is scrapping all of the sons and convert them into termies; go with 27 2 wound termies and a couple of squads of flamers and you're good to go, except that you still can't deal with tanks.

cheers

You won't see Bolt of Change on an AC in my list, at 24" I'm not going to waste those lovely, lovely bolter shots. I realize you need to get close to use WoC, but if they want to get stuck in, that suits my ACs just fine.

I'd love to see a Defiler, I think it would be my addition at the 2000 point level. I suppose breaking down one of the Rhino squads would nab me another scoring unit, but Flamers seem so redundant when I could have AC/Rubrics with a decent save to boot. Maybe Screamers? I kind of like avoiding Tzeentch's sub-par demons altogether.

What about doombolt on all/most of the ACs?

I'm actually a fan of flamers as they are, basically a devastator squad with heavy bolters and, you guessed it, 2 wounds, even if they don't have that cushy 3+ save.
