Yeah, I have the exact same problem - my nice OOP sorcerer model with power axe has just ben kicked out of the Legion, and is considering joining the bloodthirstier brethren of Khorne next door.

An Exiles list + CAD looks interesting. Anyone's tried that yet?

I've put together a few builds of that nature. My problem with it is the *extremely* low model count in an army like that. Ahriman and his three buddies make a hell of a superunit, but they aren't enough to win games by their lonesome.

I have an Exile list that I've yet to try on table. And yes, Ahriman and his 3 buddies suck in a whole chunk of points. At 1850, I also put in a CAD with 2 Sorcerers, a min squad of rubrics, a favored squad of rubrics in Rhino, a Heldrake, and a Land Raider to put in 5 of the 6 IC sorcerers with the min squad of rubrics. A hefty 23 models in the army - that's tiny! Of course I could lose the Land Raider, but heck, might as well. Playable? No idea.

Worth a try. Let us know how it works out.

I'd think having Ahriman and Co on discs is wise l.
