Hi guys, I'm trying to build the foundation of my first Heresy army. While reading Book VII I decided I really wanted to imagine the Order of Blindness on the table, that shadowy order of the Thousand Sons who specialised in sabotage and espionage. This interpretation of them has a core of Recon Marines infiltrating into forward positions, before using a combination of Amon's warlord trait and the Guard of the Crimson King RoW to outflank a unit of Destroyers and teleport Sekhmet right into the enemy's midst. I think the biggest issues with the list will be that it might find it hard to counteract dreadnoughts, and that the initial on-table force of Recons and Seekers may get blown away T1 before the heavy hitters can come down. To mitigate this I would try deploy my recons out of sight, and use Amon's warlord trait to bring the Destroyers and Moritat in T2 to relieve some of the pressure. Hopefully then there will be still some nuncio-vox left to guide down the Sekhmet and Amon. I'm also worried about two units of Sekhmet being too cheesy for 2k Centurion. Overall I am aiming to run something that is distinctly Thousand Sons and remains true to the theme of the Order of Blindness.
