I don't know the army well, what's the draw for the Tzangors? I started making your list in Battlescribe, then got distracted and came up with pretty much a full marine list trading 18 tzangors, the shaman and the spawn for 15 more Rubrics, including one more Aspiring Sorcerer I also upgraded to Ahriman over an Exalted Sorc- I named the list Reunited, and it feels so good. Didn't do any relics or CP spending so there's a relic choice, 12 CP, and 17 Cabal Points. I like the Cult of Duplicity for this too, anytime something gets low it can just fade away, plus with that and two Deep Striking Terminator units you've got a LOT of maneuverability. So back to my question I see a lot of people take Tzangors - what's the draw?

Forgot your question - as far as I know there's only two other primarchs. My main army is UM - and the way I'd run Guilliman he'd be hard to MW spam with his entourage, but truth be told you'd probably be better off ignoring him and wiping out the entourage. He's not much by himself it's what he does to what's around him and Morty can deny almost as well as you can. Most all of your shooting is going to put him on his invuln. I'd just Volume of Fire him down - ending it with Magnus if necessary. You didn't mention your great cult as far as I can see. That could help too, depending on which one. He should run out of Denys before you run out of Smites, so you can land those or something else on him too.

I guess Tzaangors offer cheap bodies. They also offer some melee options in a list that prefers shooting. I like your list though! I had gone Cult of Time to stack buffs on the Scarabs and make them heal better, also for the Exalted Sorc to get Immaterial Echoes and Scrolls to become an unstoppable MW gun. But more maneuverability is nice...!

Yeah there are just too many ways to use the Redeploy power.

Early on jump on objectives early,

Mid Game to pull out a hurting unit, and Swap it with a stronger one

[Never mind, had the phases jumbled]

Rethinking the list a bit. More bodies, fewer characters, suffers a bit on Cabal points but I think has better board presence:

+++Cult of Duplicity+++

Exalted Sorcerer (150) Disc, Rehati, Athenaean Scrolls, Tzeentch's Firestorm, Glamour of Tzeentch
Infernal Master (90) High Acolyte (Master Misinformator), Glimpse of Eternity, Malefic Malestrom, Weaver of Fates
10 Rubrics (279) 9x Warpflamers, Warpflame Pistol, Icon of Flame, Pyric Flux
5 Rubrics (115) Icon of Flame, Temporal Surge
5 Rubrics (105) Temporal Surge
10 Cultists (50)
10 Cultists (50)
10 Tzaangors (75) Herd Banner
Chaos Spawn (23)
Chaos Spawn (23)
10 Scarab Terminators (445) 2x Hellfyre Missiles, 2x Soulreaper Cannon, Rites of Coalescence, Presage
Mutalith Vortex Beast (145)
Magnus the Red (450) Warlord

2000pts, 11CP, 15 Cabal Points

- Plenty of CP
- Terminators backed up by HQs form central thrust
- Warpflamers are secondary threat
- Vortex Beast is teleporting carnifex
- Plenty of bodies to hold ground
