Another unit joins up

Tataros Terminators,

As before only the sergeant has the final silver highlights added currently, otherwise a pretty basic load out.

Nice models, less fancy than the MkIII hence a bit less gold trim and as always currently no decals as yet

Think the actual models of the terminators look great, I guess crossing a road is about as safe as when we did up the snorkel hood on a parka jacket when we were at school.
Suppose a terminator don't mind being hit by a car though.

Decals went on easily enough, there are some runes on the sheet that may go on a couple of these as well.

No pic today as there is nothing really any different, but have finished another ten tactical marines, so now have two squads of 15.

Wondering if 8th will allow larger squads in Marine lists or will still be using CSM lists until FW get the "Age of Darkness" stuff updated

I want to see what you are doing with the banner, then I want to see your Gyptians getting done.

Totted this lot up, two ways to run them, one is as normal Chaos Space Marines, comes to 991 points, the praetor as a sorcerer to lead them to fit the theme.

Or can go the actual Thousand Sons Rubric route... 1,341 points

neither of which includes the Knight Errant or Bastion, bastion bringing the second list to 1,501...

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

That looks like a nasty list...
Does it have Lasers or Templars?
