306- x12 Thousand sons- wind of chaos
Remember that you
have to have an Aspiring Sorceror in each Thousand Sons squad (it's the Sorceror's will that directs the disembodied standard troops), and they're almost 3 times the cost of one standard troop model; a squad of 12 including a Sorceror with Wind Of Chaos actually comes to 343 points.
Sticking as closely as I can to what you've said you want, here's a Rhino-free 1,500-point suggestion:
HQ
• Daemon Prince - Mark of Slaanesh; Wings; Lash of Submission
155 points
ELITES
• 5 Terminators - Icon of Chaos Glory; heavy flamer and powerfist; 4 combi-meltas
195 points
TROOPS
• 9 Thousand Sons - Aspiring Sorceror with Bolt of Change
269 points
• 9 Thousand Sons - Aspiring Sorceror with Bolt of Change
269 points
• 9 Thousand Sons - Aspiring Sorceror with Bolt of Change
269 points
• 9 Lesser Daemons of Tzeentch
117 points
HEAVY SUPPORT
• 3 Obliterators
225 points
TOTAL:
1,499 points
Now, I'm a
crappy player and tactician, but to me that's too many expensive footsloggers for 1,500 points even with a Lash to drag things around a bit, and also not enough heavy support. And with Thousand Sons squads being as expensive as they are, I wouldn't go to 3 squads of them in a 1,500-pointer unless I was doing a very fluff-centric Tzeentch-only list.
Feel free to ignore this second version, but I would humbly suggest something like this as being more useful while still staying fairly close to your original concept:
HQ
• Daemon Prince - Mark of Slaanesh; Wings; Lash of Submission
155 points
ELITES
• 5 Terminators - Icon of Chaos Glory; heavy flamer and powerfist; 3 combi-meltas
190 points
TROOPS
• 10 Chaos Marines - Icon of Chaos Glory; 2 flamers; Rhino
205 points
• 9 Thousand Sons - Aspiring Sorceror with Bolt of Change
269 points
• 9 Thousand Sons - Aspiring Sorceror with Bolt of Change
269 points
• 9 Lesser Daemons of Tzeentch
117 points
HEAVY SUPPORT
• 2 Obliterators
150 points
• Vindicator – Daemonic Possession
145 points
TOTAL:
1,500 points
As always, HTH.
