Editing Warhammer 40,000/9th Edition Tactics/Thousand Sons (section)

====Boxes====
Boxes, boxes, boxes! Currently there <s>are two sets</s> is one set that you can buy to make ok-ish savings compared to purchasing the kits individually.
*'''Start Collecting: Thousand Sons:''' A good launching off platform for new players. Contains Ahriman (weird for a named character but there's not much else), 1 unit of 10 Rubric Marines, 1 unit of 10 Tzaangors, and 2 Tzaangor upgrade kits, in case you want them to have the chainswords and pistols (you don't). '''No longer in production.'''
*'''Combat Patrol: Thousand Sons:'''  A box containing the Infernal Master, 5 Scarab Occult Terminators and a lot of Tzaangors at 20 of them. An alright set, but you're gonna want more than just that, consider it an addition to the Star Collecting Thousand Sons box.
**Alternate Opinion: You can take one unit of Tzaangors for each Rubric/Scarab, and no more than that; this box comes with 20, so it's only good value if you're going to max out this one unit, or devote yourself to an army of Birdmen. The Infernal Master, like a lot of the "box exclusive HQs" are <s>kinda trash and gimmicky</s> tricky but potent, has brutal debuffs, a Cabal/self psychic test booster, and longer ranges for the two buffs it DOES have. Buying a Demon Prince and Scarabs separately is cheaper and more useful.
**Secondary Alternate Opinion: This is a pretty potent start for a Thousand Sons army. '''Infernal Masters''' are brutal force multipliers thanks to just having Malefic Maelstrom and Glimpse of Eternity, and Scarab Occults are the backbone of most Thousand Sons armies. While you can only use one 20 man unit of Tzaangors from this box, the Tzaangors themselves are at least usable. If you are in need of Tzaangors (especially with the Warpmeld Army of Renown for them), a unit of Scarab Occults and an Infernal Master, there's worse you can do. Besides, nothing stops you from [[Proxy|just using the Infernal Master as a fancier Sorcerer.]]
