1850 Thousand Sons/Daemons

[0rph3u5]

Okay first go with a mixed CSM/CD list:

3 HQ

Ahriman
1 Telepathy, 2 Telekinesis

Fateweaver

Chaos Sorcerer
+ Doombolt/random power

3 Troops

Thousand Sons (9)
+ Icon, Meltabombs, Doombolt/random power

Thousand Sons (9)
+ Icon, Meltabombs, Doombolt/random power

Horrors of Tzeentch (9)
+ Changeling, Bolt of Change

3 Heavy Support

Defiler
+ add DCC, Reaper AC

Defiler
+ TL HFlamer, TL HBolter

Soul Grinder
+ Phlegm

Ahriman and Sorc go into the TS squads for cover, Changeling and squad cover Fateweaver, everyone piles around FW for protection and move slowly foward

1. Sorc/Asp Sorc disciplines - which to get? I'm all for Telepathy but it's primaris power is so short ranged...

2. Defilers vs Vindicator/Preadtor combo...

So list went trought its first matches today, with minor changes to the psychic powers (Ahriman got 3x Telekensis, HQ Sorc got Telekensis, Troop Sorcs got Telepathy) - Results:

1. vs Black Templars+Space Marines (the Relic) - at the end of turn 4 all the loyalists were gone but so was half my army
2. vs Tau (Kill the Xeno) - at end of turn 5 (no 6th turn) Chaos was all but defeated, Fateweaver helt on and on - KPs: 12 (including First Blood, Slay the Warlord and two additonal Chaos Spawn) to 6 (including Slay the Warlord) for Tau

Lessons learned:
a) Ahriman with the first 3 Telekensis powers is just badass - rolled 1, 2 & 3 in both matches and appart from a lot of teleportationg failures (of 3 teleportations 2 scattered <6" and straight onto terrain)
b) Aspiring Sorcs with Telepathy curses ensure a good deal of moral checks on the enemy side and take the work away from the Changeling
c) Fateweaver as FMC is "'ead 'ard" but due to the movement required his defensive buff for the army mostly go to waste
d) 6th Ed Fearless makes Spawns real tarpits

I'll be changing the list to Daemons with CSM instead of CSM with Daemons and come up with something nice ... more FMC might be happening...
