Hi,

Steve54 elected me to shepherd the Thousand Sons list to approved.

Needless to say that nealhunt did a splendid job in the past and the shoes he left are real big ones.

As Dobbsy said in the previous thread, he left quite a lot mistakes in the Version 5.2. So my first job had been to identify them and write a new list.

Here we go:

Having just been through the previous threads again, here are my thoughts/suggestions at present.

Neal had problems getting close to the enemy so gave the Thousand Sons access to the wraithgates Biel Tan Rule. It's a fluffy way wich is probably not extremely useful, but we will see.

The Fearless Terminators are still an issue but I left them as they where.

The Anti Air is a bit jolty, but I left them as well untouched, for now.

The current fluff makes it really hard to justify a full thousand sons army in an epic scale, but lets try anyway.

Lets just enjoy the first flawless (you will tell me) Army list in ages and get some reports in.

Please post here or PM me with any questions. Post battle reports in the appropriate forum and link/mention them here. I'm not going to say that someone's opinion is worth more than another's, but if you playtest and share your experiences with the list, your opinion will be worth more :) Playtests against NetEA approved lists are the most valuable.

Ok since there are some groups who did all the work for some wonderfull batreps, I decided to write down all the links down here:

It's great to see an update for the Thousand Sons - finally adding the missing dreadnaughts that have been lost in the warp, and correct stats for the lesser daemons :) Bringing the Daemonic Pact rule into alignment with the Black Legion list is also great to see.

Is the Greater Daemon summoning cost (7 points) new? It's still quite hard to bring out a greater daemon, but that should help a bit. Having to kill off your Thralls without knowing whether you'll succeed in summoning the daemon always seemed like a strictly worse way of doing things compared to the Black Legion method (sacrifice champion, spawn daemon).

I'd love to see an alternative way of adding a Sorceror Lord / Daemon Prince to the list, as the Scarab Occult are incredibly brittle for a 400 point formation. I'll still try them out in my games, as that impression is pretty meaningless without playtest data.

I know of four Australian players who are building new Thousand Sons armies at the moment - one in QLD and three in VIC. I'll try to get a few battle reports for this, but may need to wait for the Christmas holiday period to get some more games in.

Hi Morsla,

thank you for your feedback.

The Dreadnaught was in the 5.2 list as well and I thing the daemonic Pact rule was played like that, but wasn't written down like that before. I tried to include every special rule in the document.

Good Catch. will change that one pronto. It is how ever just in the special rules the reference was always 8 points.
I believe the sacrifice thing would not work for Thousand sons because they know what they doing. And the implicitness of the thralls is just the way Tzeentch likes it. But battelreports will tell the difference.

I see what you mean, I'm finishing a battle tomorrow and will to a report later on. Time will tell.

just looking at doing this for armyforge, would appreciate if you could list all changes from the previous version.... I'm totally unfamiliar with the list and it saves a lot of time and effort if all changes could be summarised :)

I have played a few games with the newly revised thousand sons list and I'll hold any comments conserning balance until I have played a few more, however shouldn't the deciver have infiltrate like the defiler? That would put it in line with the standard defiler and at the same time make it a slightly more palatable option to combine it with rhinos.

Hi Lego,

thank you that sounds splendid, I sincerely hope you write a battle report or two. At least write down your army list and some note about the selection.

About the deciver: At the moment we are using the stats that dobbsy combined out of the old stats for the defiler and the deciver merged into one being and all still for 75 points. Since you have to die one death i say dropping the Infiltrator is alright at the moment.

cheers

Ole

Adding my hat into the ring. Have had a Thousand Sons force for a long time but family commitments have led to reduced gaming time. Hope to get some games in in the not-to-distant future.

Hi,

I updated the first post for battreps. Thanks guys and dolls you are doing a great job. But remember to use approved list as opponents to make them really count.

Things I like to see in battraps are:

Thralls to get a greater Daemon on the floor.
Deciver because they might get really easy suppressed and then near useless.
And Terminators because they might not work as they should.

Opponents I like to see are IG, Space Mariens, Titans, and anybody who can easily shoot those floating stuff.

Cheers

Ole
