Kitbashed Sorcerers in Terminator Armor

I finally finished my sorcerers in terminator armor. Originally, I was a bit annoyed that GW doesn't offer an official model, but after creating these I'm quite happy with them.

Sorcerer VS Infernal Master VS Exalted Sorcerer after the Dataslate

For a while, IM was like 15 extra points on the sorcerer/exalted sorc., but with the current state the difference is now just 5 points. With his S6 vs S5 for the sorcerer he's also dealing more damage on average than a sorcerer against any type of target (even when sorcerer gets full hit rerolls to fish for those Sustained 3). Of course Sorcerer will have the slight edge when he activates the ability. Exalted gets the edge with his blast, but falls short otherwise

We're also at a point where the Winged Daemon Prince has become much weaker with the T5 upgrade (he basically got -1 to W, which makes his reroll ability even weaker as well). This means the only good alternative for Eldritch Vortex is the IM. In summary:

Infernal Mater

  • 5 points more expensive
  • Better damage overall (with hazardous "risk")
  • Better overwatch
  • Best unit for the Eldritch Vortex, making him a beast
  • Slightly more survivability with his automatic 6 on a Sv

Sorcerer

  • 5 points cheaper
  • Gets a nice go turn which deals massive damage, specially with Hit rerolls

Exalted Sorcerer

  • 5 points cheaper
  • 4++ and resurrect rubrics (niche in squads of 5)
  • Better damage than Sorc and IM if he can have Blast, but wrose than IM otherwise
  • Can take Incadaeum which is usually good

So, with just 5 points in difference do you think IM is a much better option to lead rubrics now? Maybe Exalted Sorcerer, with his 4++, Blast weapon and the ability to take Incandaeum?

Quick rules question

I know healing got changed in 11th to revive dead models but on the chaos spawn it says one model in this unit so if my opponent kills one spawn this rule wont bring back the dead one right?

My first TS infantry

Need to finish rims, but that’s going to be done when I am done with the second squad and termies.

BTW not a newbie in miniature painting, just never tried to paint chaos before this summer.

What do i need to add?

I wanted to start a chaos army and i didn't known who to choose so i went with Thousand Sons and Red Cosairs. This is what I picked up for my Thousand sons Army and I have questions.

Did I make good choices with these boxes?

Am I at a good starting point?

How many points do I even have?

If anything what should I add or what am I missing?

With the New Points Update. It’s time to start incorporating Daemons so I can have Units on the Board.

I’m still waiting on Two Blue horrors and two screamers.
