At least you have variability in your squads... try running around with a buncha bolters (A squad of Noise Marines for the same points (Mark + Sonic) can dish out MORE firepower than a squad of Thousand Sons, don't have the Slow and Purposeful snooze move. Oh, but they lack the extra wound... Yay... At least your list ain't dead boring... No wonder no one likes the Thousand Sons... They got SHAFTED. Great models, boring army list (Worse selection than the NECRONS!)

You will feel the wrath of the thousand sons with a bolt of change up your @$$ ;D

No seriously, Thousand Sons are tricky to play, but it's worth it. you really shouldn't underestimate a whole squad being able to take a bolt of change ( Str 8, and tzeentch = no psychic test ). Of course, I mean a squad of chosen.

And to clear up something said before, favoured gifts are NOT interchangeable. That means a character with mark of Khorne can NOT take slaaneshi combat drugs and so on and so on.

The only thing a statured prince can be screened by are vehicles and terrain
You accuse me of being a madman. What right do you have to judge what is sane and what is not? I have fought with the shadows on the edge of your vision I have seen the faces that laugh at you in your nightmares I have entered the realm between worlds there there is no time or place I have clashed with creatures the sight of which would sear your soul to the core I have faced death eye to eye, blade to blade. Yet you accuse me of being a madman you who have never had your sanity tested so sorely

You show me where it says a stature lord can't be screened by infantry.  It's not a vehicle.  It too is infantry.  it has a toughness value, therefore it is a "model".  It does not follow the IC rules insofar as it can be shot when within 6" of a friendlyy unit, but if it is twice the height or less of the friendly models in front of it and they're close enough together, they WILL screen it.  It does not need vehicles or terrain to hide behind, it just needs to be small enough.  The GW-made prince is easily small enough.  Mine uses the new Inquisitor unbound Daemonhost  as the base model, and so is WAY too tall.

Show me where it bars me from using infantry models to screen another infantry model, and I'll agree.  Until then, screen those stature lords, people!

ok i did that cuz i dont know how to double post. david i must agree, already they have a cheesey daemon prince running around and expect it to be able to be screened by normal infantry, that must be the cheapest thing i have eva seen. ok spellbound heres where it sez it.
wen a daemon prince takes stature it becomes a monstrous creature. and its well known knowledge that montrous creatures cannot be screened by other models or infantry, so as to quote u.

show me where it bars me from using infantry models to screen another infantry model, and ill agree. (well there it is)
until then, screen those lords ppl!
my response, go ahead it doesnt do diddle squat.

I hereby quote from the book

Quote
A model with daemonic stature can be shot at even if it is with or within 6" of another squad

For records, I am myself a chaos player, but I do not accept rule bending ;D
Thousand sons: " Emperor, we want to fight for you again. We love you. "
Emperor: " Never!! I will not allow tainted blood to join my ranks !!! "
Thousand Sons: " But we have no blood. "
Emperor: " Oh....well, ok then. Welcome back !! "

Also it states under stature description the model must be 10' tall I think that might be more then double normal infantry model height (probally just me wrong again  ::) )
