Goatboy’s Grimdark Armylist: Thousand Sons Blue Psychic Tank Attack!
Goatboy here with an armylist from the new Thousand Sons codex, that’s all vehicles, no Battleline!.
I think there is a very strong vehicle build in here using the new Robots, some Daemon Engines, a mixture of Thousand Sons Monsters, and good ole Psychic Leaders. This might be a good list for any kind of Team event where having an option that can floor things on an open field would be a powerful thing to have. Plus you wouldn’t have to paint a ton of Rubricae.
The armylist will be using the Warpforged Cabal Detachment which is the vehicle-focused option for the Thousand Sons. The rule for the detachment gives the ability to reroll either a hit, wound, or damage roll. If you happen to be within 6” of a Thousand Sons Psyker you get to reroll all of those per vehicle within range of their Psychic Daddy.
Also, your Deadly Demises are on a 5+ if you are within 6” of the Psyker so be ready to lose your Sorcerer if too many tanks explode. You also get some sweet Enhancements that do things like give your infantry-based Psychic Characters Lone Operative if they are within 3” of a Vehicle and even better bonuses to your rituals.
As you can tell from the right up above will most likely see a ton of robots, some characters, a few tanks, and maybe a Mutalith or two. Let’s get to brewing based off of the points given to use early by GW. Now these might change again before they become official and bonafide.

Yup there is no Battleline for the army. The Sorcerer in Terminator armor is there to Deep Strike in and throw a Psychic hit on something if needed to activate some of the armies powers. Right now it will have a ton of attacks, get a good deal of rerolls, and just be a brutal thing to try and get too.
The three smaller units of Robots is there to get in the way and hopefully let your army do the good work of creating a Castle of crap that is murdering you downfield. The Tzaangor parts are to cover objectives, help give the Daemon Prince Lone Operative, and just give you some action play as needed. Happy Gaming!
ALL IS DUST!
