Goatboy here. Instead of a list I thought up – look at a list that beat me up real good during the Kansas City Open. Mani Cheema’s amazing Thousand Sons!
Mani Cheema is known on the interwebs as a good player from across the Atlantic and he brought a rough list full of Flamers, Warp Flamers, and Mortal wounds. Heck he murdered 19 CSM Possessed in a turn against me – so you know it is a mean list! I figured I would show it to you and you can see how it can do a ton of damage.

Kicking Butt With the Tzeentch Party!
As you can see it has a lot of Tzeentch Flamers to move fast, a ton of casting ability, and then a ton of Rubric Warp Flamers. He uses a unit of terminators to help anchor his back field. There are a ton of psychic options to perform his secondary’s, and just a lot of movement blocking abilities with all his other units. It is a strong army and is well suited to put the hurt on ya. He lost a close game at the end with the Blood Angels who were not running a psyker. That helped to remove the Wrath of Magnus secondary. Plus Sanguinary Guard doesn’t really care too much about Flamers – especially when charging or in Terrain.
Either way – Mani had a great list we had a nice game and congrats to him for doing as well with something new and unique!
