Hey all! I just played my first game of 40k recently, using a ~1k Thousand Sons list. I got pretty roundly stomped by my opponent using Space Marines.

Admittedly, I didn't really make use of rituals or stratagems, and I'm sure we missed plenty of unit abilities, so it may not have been super representative.

Either way, are there any TSons players here? I'd like to pick up some tips if there are any 👀

Yeah, the rituals force you to play in a very limited corset and punishes you for strive from it...

BUT

GW seems to acknowledge that themselves and changed the army rule now with the new book. I think we all have to wait a little more, try out all the new rules and detachment and then conclude our self what to do with TS

BUT (again, I know...)

I'm not a TS Player (a good friend of mine is, tough), so maybe some other players can you give already a better answer.
