Rune Priest Ridcully Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Okay, so we need to take Ahriman or a Tzeentch Sorcerer to get or rubrics as troops, but after that, what do you take for your second HQ, if any? In the past I've run multiple Power armoured sorcerers, occasionally a terminator one, but have recently beeen thinking of Lords and warpsmiths, possibly with scrolls of Magnus, what do you think and take yourself?

*Furyou Miko Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I either run a second Sorcerer or a Warpsmith. Tried A DP once, but I need the model in case someone Apotheosises. >< Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/272788-secondary-hqs-for-thousand-sons/#findComment-3328084 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesI Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I generally run 2 sorcerers or Ahriman and a sorcerer. I have considered tried a Dark Apostle, but haven't tried it yet.

Rune Priest Ridcully Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 How did you find the warpsmith? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/272788-secondary-hqs-for-thousand-sons/#findComment-3328244 Share on other sites More sharing options...
minigun762 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 If I took a second one, I'd probably consider a cheapish lord with a power fist and sigil. 3++ save to survive long enough to hit something with AP2.

Fun. ^^ I run (her) with the Scrolls, Aura, Mark of Tz and the Murder Sword and use her as a support-assassin type character to mess up enemy tanks and get Slay the Warlord with the murder sword. Since she has an axe and a gajillion attacks she's not too shabby against TEq either.

Ethrion Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Ahriman's lieutenant was always just another level 3 sorcerer on foot leading more rubrics for me until I read about putting a sorcerer on a disc of Tzeentch and giving him the scrolls of Magnus. Not only does that look even better, fit the fluff better by having relics from the primarch but it's badass good as well!

Shuggnuggath Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 I use a Lord of Change. Lvl 3 with 2 greater rewards and a staff of change. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/272788-secondary-hqs-for-thousand-sons/#findComment-3328434 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Priest Ridcully Posted March 15, 2013 Author Share Posted March 15, 2013 I have been thinking of one of those as well :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/272788-secondary-hqs-for-thousand-sons/#findComment-3328449 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune Priest Ridcully Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 I've been thinking a warsmith or lord in terminator amour with Scrolls of Magnus? Any good? Or would a level 3 sorcerer in terminator armour with the scrolls any good?

Rune Priest Ridcully Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 I know, but I'm trying to think outside of allies as I don't like the troops tax you pay for a Lord of change, or the second codex tax...

*Furyou Miko Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I run a Scrollsmith with the Murder sword. Works out pretty well for me. ^^ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/272788-secondary-hqs-for-thousand-sons/#findComment-3332227 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggnuggath Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 A small unit of horrors is cheap and better camping an objective at the back than cultists imo, only one has to expose himself to enemy fire in order to shoot. They don't break from shooting casualties. Lord of Change is awesome in combat and I don't mind as much if he gets killed as he is not the Warlord. Imo a Soulgrinder is way better than all of the CSM walkers, armour 13 is a huge difference. Screamers and Flamers are kind of meh now, though screamers could be good for linebreaker and dealing with enemy tanks at the back of the board.

Excessus Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Screamers also give us much-needed horde(pest?) control with their jump damage. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/272788-secondary-hqs-for-thousand-sons/#findComment-3332407 Share on other sites More sharing options...
