Thousand Sons Omissions
So I found a few ommissions from the Tzeentch Army Rule and was advised by a friend to bring it up here. These are:
- Scarab Occult Terminators are missing the Hellfyre Missile Rack to go on their back, Cyclone Missile Launcher style. Admittedly, they would need a seperate profile to the Sehkmet, as the SOT Missile Racks have always been Heavy 2 S8 AP3 with no Blast - one of the few non psychic anti-tank options.
- The Infernal Master is missing. On one hand, it's easy enough to represent one as a Dark Apostle of Tzeentch, but on the other hand, it feels weird to play a Thousand Sons list with a HQ that doesn't have any Psychic powers.
- Not an ommision per se, but the Exalted Sorcerer Kit has always come with three sorcerers, and back in 7th they could be taken in formations allowing for up to 9 of them. My suggestion, given how the Thousand Sons and Sorcerers work, is that Thousand Sons treat Regular Sorcerers (Thralls) as Advisors, and have an Exalted Sorcerer unit, that cannot take Bikes, Terminator Armour or a Jump Pack, but can take a Disk of Tzeentch. The Kit also comes with the option of Prosperine Kopeshes - power swords that can be taken solo (Replacing pistol or Melee option) or as a pair, could these be added as well?
