Just buy the [https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Start-Collecting-Thousand-Sons-2019?_requestid=5955590 Start Collecting! Thousand Sons] set for $95USD. Note that this is NOT the annoyingly similarly named "Start Collecting! Thousand Sons Collection" which includes the Codex for 40K. You don't need that book for Kill Team. 

While you could get by with just Rubric Marines, you will eventually need Tzaangors to really compete for objectives. The Start Collecting set is the same price as a set of Rubrics and Tzaangors you'd eventually buy anyway but also includes Ahriman (usually $40USD and who you can't use directly, but could easily proxy as a commander or be sold to recoup some of the cost of the box) and 2 upgrade sprues for your Gors (usually $12.50 EACH).

'''Cheap Team $55USD'''

Only for when you must minimize your initial outlay.
Buy 1 box of [https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/rubric-marines Rubric Marines] ($55USD). At 16pts minimum a model, you can pretty much have every single version of a Marine only team on your roster with just the models in the box. Unfortunately this doesn't actually offer much in the way of flexibility. 

From the box, construct:
*1x Aspiring Sorcerer with Force Stave and Warpflame Pistol
*1x Rubric Marine Gunner with Soulreaper Cannon
*3x Rubric Marine with Warpflamer
*1x Rubric Marine with Warpflamer and Icon of Flame
*2x Rubric Marine with Inferno Bolt Gun

The remaining 2 will likely only ever get used in 125+ point games. These can be assembled however you wish with whats left, or even magnetized.

List wise, the Sorcerer must be your Leader. Veteran should be given to a Warpflamer to get them in range faster and Demolitions to another Warpflamer. It is not vital the Gunner be a Heavy, as they already have the Heavy 1 Ability through All is Dust, and the Level 1 Tactic is waste of CP. Demolitions is a bit better, but much for effective on your Warpflamer. Instead you could give Combat to a Rubric because you have almost 0 close combat ability and a spare specialist slot. Neither option is likely to ever make a difference. 
You don't have much flexibility, so if you need bodies for objective games your only option is to take fewer warpflamers and more bolters.

'''Recommended Team $95USD'''

Buy the [https://www.games-workshop.com/en-US/Start-Collecting-Thousand-Sons-2019?_requestid=5955590 Start Collecting! Thousand Sons] set for $95USD.
Has the benefit of being basically everything you will ever need to play TS in Kill Team. It doesn't just buy you a team, but essentially an entire roster. You ''might'' pick up Scarab Terminators at a later date and maybe a commander if you can't/don't want to proxy with Ahriman and you actually play Commander ever but both are far from a necessity. 

Build the same Marine options as above.
From the Tzaangors box, build:
*1x Twistbray (fancy horns) with Tzaangor Blade
*1x Tzangor with Tzaangor Blade and Brayhorn
*5x Tzangor with Tzaangor Blade
*3x Tzangor with Autopistol and Chainsword

Some or all of the Tzaangor Blade Tzaangors can be build with autopistol and chainsword and vice versa. Generally their place is as melee chaff and the shooting is better left to your Rubrics. The AP of the Tzaangor blade is better for that and the autopistol is likely the worst shooting weapon in the game anyway. Ideally limit yourself to a smattering of pistols so they're not ALL completely useless while squatting on objectives away from combat and keep the rest with the Blade.

Your default list will look something like:
*'''[ 8pts] Twistbray [Leader]:''' Fancy horned Tzaangor  model with Tzaangor Blade
*'''[18pts] Aspiring Sorcerer [Combat]:''' Marine model with Force Stave and Warpflame Pistol
*'''[20pts] Rubric Marine [Demo]:''' Marine model with Warpflamer
*'''[ 8pts] Tzangor [Zealot]:''' Regular Tzaangor with Tzaangor Blade
Fill the remaining points out with Warpflamers and Tzaangors as the mission demands. If it focuses on Killing models, take more warpflamers and/or the soulreaper cannon, on Objectives, take more Tzaangors. Usually you won't go all one way or the other as board control and tarpitting is still important in Killing missions and posing a credible threat to enemies is important in Objective missions.
