Right now this is the 1850 list I'm running without Daemons.
2+ rerolling 1s is pretty amazing. The down side is a small model count and it relies on psychic powers for high damage output. Also It doesn't have Obsec making it harder to hold down Objectives. But the list is still fun to play.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/713128/9115270.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/713128/9115270.page GMT [1850] - Thousand Sons - No daemons yet
If you plan on putting Ahriman/Astral Grimoire in a Rubric Marine squad, I'd drop one Rubric squad and maybe make one bigger Rubric squad (20 man, add some flamers even) or just add more Occult Terminators. I'd then add the overwatch item on the other sorcerer and join the large Rubric squad.

I'd drop the exalted sorcerer down to a regular sorcerer, give him terminator armor to go with the Occult Terminators, make both mastery 3 and take Spell Familiar .

You should have points left over to accomplish the above and then have more points over for more stuff.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/713128/9115491.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/713128/9115491.page GMT [1850] - Thousand Sons - No daemons yet

Thanks, I haven't even played this list yet lol, its just kind of a base line for me to build to. There's a lot of Super Heavy going on in my Local Meta and I got a good deal on a knight, so he's getting the Pharaoh Treatment. Plus Folks just LOVE shooting at Knights, giving my delicious Rubric Filled Rhinos time to zip around.

Thats a good Idea on the Sorcerer.... And I assume you were responding the the chap above, my rubrics are in Rhinos. This is my first Chaos Army, hows peoples Milage been on Havok Launchers on Rhinos? Is it something worth finding the points for?
