Had a chance to work through a point list for this properly
Can currently run 1,493 points, so call it 1,500
with the planned additions can run to 2,000, this is two formations.
Battalion Detachment (Thousand Sons) 1,003
- Ahriman (131)
- Sorcerer (102)
- 15x Rubrics, icon (333)
- 15x Rubrics, icon (333)
- 20x Cultists (1x heavy stubber) (104)
Vanguard Detachment (Chaos Space Marines - Tzeetch) 997
- Warpsmith (109)
- 5x Chosen (4x melta gun & plasma pistol & power sword) (142)
- 5x Chosen (4x plasma gun & plasma pistol & power sword) (158)
- 5x Chaos Terminators (heavy flamer, power sword, 2x chain fist, 2x power fist, icon) (277)
- 5x Havocs (4x heavy bolter, power sword) (108)
- 1x chaos predator (auto cannon, combi bolter, 2x laser cannon) (203)
comes with 4 whole command points (wow)
Seems reasonable, the chosen are somewhat overkill for support units but they are the only way in the book to run them, plus side is when they get close they can also fight. lacks long range anti tank, but can plaster with nasty at closer range, against weaker enemy armour can machine gun it to death.
Warpsmith is overkill to babysit a single predator, but I have the model, and lack another third HQ...
Could likely run to 2,500 as well once upgraded as will have a second terminator unit (+277) and ten more rubrics (+200), whats left goes on more cultists.
Also tempted by a second havoc unit with missile launchers for 168, likely in place of the predator at that point, dropping the warp smith for a lord (re-roll to hit of '1', to run along side the plasma unit...)
Pity there is no option for a formation standard as the model is very nice
