Rules Changes: I edited the codex updating it's outdated rules for 5th ed. Gave them Stubborn USR because their rule helped them in combat res so they wouldn't retreat so stubborn was it's closest substitute, and gave them Acute Senses to replace their "auto-senses" which let them use the Auspex in their previous rules.

Played one game versus Tzeentch CSM

I decided to go for a "Expendables" sort of feel to the army even calling my Sergeant "Stalloneious" for fun. Placed the sergeant, the dude and the flamer guy in reserve outflanking. Deploying only the rhino, the 6 marines and the missile launcher guy.

Mission: Capture & Control
Deployment: Pitched Battle
1st Turn: Tzeentch

Scene 1 -
Deployed rhino and Infiltrated my guys on the field with the missile launcher being closest to the enemy taking a vantage point high up on a tower. He went first and used his winds of chaos as well as concentrated shooting from the havoks and predators to kill my missile launcher dude. Who withered lots and lots of fire and finally succumb to exhaustion from long hours and too may retakes. He went to take 5...

During the retaliation scene the marines were heated over the loss of their brother-in-arms and so they charged head first bolters at the ready and shot up all enemy vehicles! Wrecking both predators with their powerful bolters and destroying another rhino while immobilizing/stunning the other 2 and getting 3 wounds on the daemon prince.

Scene 2 -
The battle continued progressing aggressively as the thousand sons found themselves with their support units blown to kingdom-come and their transports incapacitated so they came on foot and rapid fired on our brave heroes through tons of focused fire they managed to take out one more brave soul.

But all was not lost yet the marines phoned-in for back up....the transmission seemed to have been delayed in the sector, so they pressed on confident in the knowledge that their friends would bring them aid. So they struck back..."this one's for charlie!" said marine Ryan. The daemon prince was shot down, all rhinos were destroyed, and the thousand sons ate a grenade that wounded 7 but only 3 died from....damned sorcerers! Ryan was caught in an ambush and engaged enemy forces fighting for his life whilst awaiting reinforcements

Scene 3 -
The thousand sons had 2 units left which contniued to focus fire rapid fire into our heroes taking out 2 more thanks to their ap 3 bolters, in combat ryan struggles for survival fighting against the odds vs the thousand sons horde! They end at a stalemate...

Out in the distance a shiny pair of glasses can be seen, it is Stalloneious finally arriving to the battle field....on the far...far...far....left side. On the way to the battle he goes through a "Rocky" montage video of his progression as he prepares to join the fight...he takes his time. More thousand sons drop dead from bolter fire and Jet-leetious jumps into the fray to try and help Ryan out of there but fails, the thousand sons prove that their power armour is tough and well built.

Scene 4 -
The evil thousand sons use nerve gas on the marines and somehow manage to nail marine ryan with a force weapon that sends him packing to the hospital..some kind of evil stomach virus that removes them from the script (someone's clearly been sleeping with the director in the thousand sons camp). With Ryan gone is all up to Jet-Leetious to hold his own against the thousand sons and he perseveres.

The flamer guy finally shows up...stalloneious is still signing autographs and "The Dude" must've been negotiating scripts for his next film or taking a dump back in his trailer who knows...he's the diva of the cast. Things are not looking so good while many thousand sons are perishing they are not dying fast enough, flamer guy manages to lend a hand bringing some fire power...literally to the field reminiscent of the old Mortal Kombat days...TOASTY!!!

Scene 5 -
Finally the dude is forced out to work...but he decides now it's his time to get a montage video of pure build up on the far far far left of the table behind stalloneious, speaking of whom...he is just close enough now to smell the action...just 8 inches away after making his move...he makes a run for it...but trips and misses the mark by a split hair. Jet-Litious does his best to prove that he is THE ONE but to no avail...even winning combat with kick *** kung fu doesnt faze the thousand sons. They take out one last marine to which Toasty!!! replies with pure unadultered promethium shower that they seem to bask in as it reminds them of a cool autumn day in the warp apparently. Thousand sons run towards their home objective and run towards mine in an effort to contest but are stopped by none other than Space Marine VanDammos who is too busy split kicking the pillers in the ruins to shoot his bolter properly and does nothing but stall the thousand sons....

At this point the movie comes to an end credits roll....it's a draw....


After Credits Scene 6
After the cliffhanger of the sergeant not reaching combat, having a marine stuck in combat and the dude stopping to comb his hair...the thousand sons attempt to shoot down toasty whom they seem to dislike for his ability to cast fire with his Mangekyo Sharingan Amaterasu skills and fail to kill him, the thousand sons run right past vandammos split kicks and contest the objective. Being unable to remove them in time or to contest the enemy objectives...the film ends in a dramatic failure of the movie marines to save the day.


Afterword
This film was never released to the public and was later been revealed to be either a hoax by Tzeentch or an April Fool's Day joke from the Emperor himself (hey humor doesn't go away with death)
