Hi guys, I’d really appreciate some C&C on this army list please. My army comprises a Space Marine chapter that went rogue and started following Tzeentch a few thousand years after the Horus Heresy. Because I’m a stickler for fluff, this therefore means that all units have to have the Mark of Tzeentch, but none of them can be Rubric Marines or Scarab Occult Terminators.
With this in mind, I obviously had to choose a legion that allowed its units to have the Mark of Tzeentch. After a lot of consideration, I decided to go with Thousand Sons rules for a number of reasons I won’t bore you with.
Although fluff is very important to me, I do still want to make a powerful army within my constraints, making use of the Thousand Sons’ special rules, wargear and formations.
My current plan is to use the Chaos Warband formation combined with some unbound units to take me up to the first 2,000 points. So without further ado, here is my list:
CHAOS WARBAND:
Lord with MoT, Terminator Armour, Combi-bolter and Seer's Bane - 160
Sorcerer with MoT, Terminator Armour, Combi-bolter, Force Axe and Astral Grimoire - 130
4 Terminators with MoT, 4 Combi-bolters, 2 Power Axes and 2 Power Mauls
Land Raider with Dirge Caster - 381
5 Terminators with MoT, 5 Combi-bolters, 3 Power Axes, 1 Power Maul and 1 Power Fist - 189
5 CSM with MoT and 1 Meltagun; Champion has Combi-melta
Rhino with Combi-melta -150
5 CSM with MoT and 1 Meltagun; Champion has Combi-melta
Rhino with Combi-melta -150
7 Raptors with MoT and 2 Flamers - 153
5 Havocs with MoT and 2 Plasma Guns
Rhino with Havoc Launcher -162
UNBOUND:
Daemon Prince with MoT, Power Armour, Wings, 2 Mastery Levels and Staff of Arcane Compulsion - 280
Decimator with MoT, Storm Laser [anti-MEQ weapon] and Siege Claw - 245
TOTAL: 2,000 points
The basic plan is to go on the offence. My Lord and Sorcerer will join the Terminators with no transport, and fly them up the table using the Astral Grimoire. The Sorcerer and the Daemon Prince will attempt to activate their Force Weapons each turn in order to exploit the +1 to their (and the Terminators') Invulnerable Saves. The Raptors will most likely cower behind the advancing Land Raider for protection, while the Decimator will usually Deep Strike.
Please let me know what you think.
Thanks!
