In a 6th Ed battle you're going to struggle against any flyers, so I'd recommend taking a unit of Tzeentchian Havocs behind an Aegis Defence Line with a Quad Gun. Not only will the Quad Gun offer you Skyfire, but your heavy weapons will be protected by a 3+ invulnerable cover save (4+ for the Aegis and another 1+ for Mark Of Tzeentch). Makes them a real pain in the backside to get rid of!

[Dragonlv8]

Mark of Tzeentch is +1 to Invulnerable save therefore not worth it on models that don't already have one because 6+ doesn't mean a lot. Better saving the points and not taking a mark on said squads.

[Blenderovski]

Ah! I've been reading up... It improves baseline Invulnerable Saves, not cover... Boooo!

[lobo60]

Yes, the Fliers have been giving me a little alarm. I have recently added a blob of cultist to give me a scoring unit that is cheap. and I may just get a heldrake for fliers.

[lobo60]

do you think giving my terminators "mark of Tzeentch is a good idea or should I go with something different?

[Blenderovski]

It would certainly make them nice and hard! Invulnerable 4+? Yes please! Mark of Slaanesh wouldn't really help them... Mark of Nurgle would make them tough, but they'd still have the same issues against any weapons that will get over your regular 2+ save. I'd say if you're giving them any kind of mark, give them Tzeentch.

if you go with termies the Tzeetch is a great addition. for the points though I would argue and plas chosen squad would be better and cheaper. for the sorc being Tzeetched marked with sigil 3++ no sure on the halberd but i make my sorce more CC with a force weapon than anything. talons are pricy for what they do you may want to try out melta bikers nurgle marked cheap and T6. another option I take a lot is a trim siren icon noise squad with slan lord and a strike at ini power weapon the unit can gut through power armor like its nothing quickly and pave the way for your army's big hitters.
