See title. I used 4 man Sekhetar Robots the other day, and I really liked the way I could project a real early game threat (at least versus my opponent who misjudged them). Free Overwatch was great! Now I'm wondering about doubling up and going 2x4.

Anyone tried it? What's your opinion?

I will have I think my 9th game this coming weekend and I am really hoping to get a win. My opponent will likely run Deathguard or Necrons with a possibility for Tau.

He really likes to run vehicles so he either will use a ton of drones in dg or a bunch of battlesuits for tau. In Necrons it is mostly just infantry and then the Ctan.

I only have around 3k total of Tsons and the only stuff not in this list is Magnus and 15 rubrics + some leaders.

I wanted to bring all my big hitters but figured it would be unwise to drop all my scoring units to bring in Magnus.

So I am fairly confident with this list, the only thing I am unsure of is I should put my Screamers as a 6 man or 2 3 mans.

I am looking to expand my army. I started with the battleforce that came with the sehkitar robots. I ended getting some tzaangors and a box of rubrics on top of that. I recently saw at a lgs the other battleforce that has the MVB. Are these good to combine?

Hello, I am pretty new to the warhammer game and witha friend we have been dying to try it for some while. I havent played yet and I dont know so much about the rules, but I know a little, so I started investigating what to do and how to play thousand sons, because I find them awesome and I love their lore and I also love Tzeench and the rubric marines. I adore it. But when I saw every recommendation, it said that grand coven was the best detatchment rule, but when I read it for myself I found it was not really that good. At least to me. I found that rubricae phalanx was better and had more buffs, but I also want to understand fully why everyone puts grand coven as their detachment rule, and I also dont want to always be conditioned to use rubrics as my main everytime, and use more of the weird tzaangors and daemon princes.

If someone could please explain it, or give me some advice, I would appreciate it really much.

Thanks!

Hello sorcerers. Now that we’ve seen plenty of the new detachment releases for other chaos armies, what are we thinking we’ll see for our 3 new detachments? Presumably we’ll get a Hexwarp Thrallband rework, but what about the other 2? Personally, I’m hoping we get a detachment for our Demon Princes!
