I'd just started collecting up Tzaangors for my next army when the new codex info got leaked and while I know the points are likely going to a shake up long before I can acquire all of these models (unless I trade in an existing army), this is what I'm currently aiming for.
Detachment Warpmeld Pact:
Sorcerer Enh: Brey Lord: 90pts (Leading 20 blob of Tzaangors)
Tzaangor Shamen x3: 165pts (Leading Lance Enlightened)
Deamon Prince x2: 340pts
Tzaangors with Pistols and Chainswords 20x1 / 10x4: 440pts
Tzaangor Enlighteend with Greatbows x18: 240pts
Tzaangor Enlightened with Lances: x18: 240pts
Mutalith Vortex Beast x3: 480pts
Total Points: 1995
Army looks to be pretty fast and take over the midfield early (very much my playstyle) with scout on the Tzaangors and 9 or 10 movement on everything else. Precision on all the Enlightened attacks are going to pop characters left and right as well as chewing threw MEQ units. Deamon Princes give stealth aura and provide extra casts while Vortex Beasts are the main anti-tank unit. Tzaangors are the action monkeys and light infantry killers.
Lots of neat tools in here like having stealth and 4+ invul on a 20 man Tzaangor blob and a revival strat for D3+1 (not sure if that works on Enlightened too, but would be bonkers if it did. Advance/Shoot and charge on Vortex Beasts is really strong. Having Lethal hits on a big Tzzangor blob seems really good as well. Making spawn when your characters die is really neat too.
All and all, this detachment looks like a lot of fun and I can't wait to give it a try.
