A couple of hellbrutes in your face turn 1 seems scary.

I might take a Sphinx model and make it into a Hell Drake, though.<br /><br />There is always the Demon Codex that we can get decently priced Demon Princes from, though. They will offer us a S8 Ap1 shot with Skyfire if they get wings which is probably what I will end up doing.<br /><br />Sadly, Thousand Sons do not really have a lowered cost, not by much (maybe 27-32 points per unit) but the nice thing is we do get other cheaper options in CSM and Cultists and apparently a ForgeFiend is 140ish with 2 H4 S8 guns for a total of 8 shots, not too shabby IMO. Like you said, we'll have to see how the new codex pans out and go from there.Yrielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15953842551991627206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2206634868661691530.post-10219094332737247562012-09-26T13:45:40.780-07:002012-09-26T13:45:40.780-07:00Or maybe a Tzeench Daemon Prince made from the Sph...Or maybe a Tzeench Daemon Prince made from the Sphinx model . . . <br /><br />But I understand about the lack of flexibility. One would think with the universal lowering of costs of most units there could have been (or may still be pending on the actual rules) a bit more to add.Irwin Fletcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06395342145195922973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2206634868661691530.post-5782928006931935852012-09-26T12:45:57.790-07:002012-09-26T12:45:57.790-07:00Indeed, however, I am pretty disappointed with how...Indeed, however, I am pretty disappointed with how Phil handled Thousand Son units and the Discipline of Tzeench. The Aspiring Sorcerer only gets boon of mutation and Melta Bomb options so he remains Mastery level 1 and stuck with Tzeench spells...Yet he costs as much as an HQ sorcerer who gets tons of options and utility. Regarding Tzeench spells, only 2 of them are useful and the rest suck...Why couldn't he have come up with maybe 7 powers like every other book discipline?<br /><br />I am really scratching my head at some of the changes. Oh well, 2 Sorcerers for HQ every game for me I guess...Yrielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15953842551991627206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2206634868661691530.post-65676445955229114432012-09-26T08:07:22.516-07:002012-09-26T08:07:22.516-07:00I also was a fan of 1k Sons back in 3.5 and with t...I also was a fan of 1k Sons back in 3.5 and with the amount of sorcerers available would laugh when watching opponents whine when they were turned into Chaos Spawn en masse. <br /><br />Here's to the new codex!Irwin Fletcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06395342145195922973noreply@blogger.com
