Try running one like this:

Mark of tzeentch, Dreadaxe, Wind of Chaos, Spiky Bits, Close COmbat Weapon, Daemonic (stature, strength, aura, flight and essence or mutation)

Works absolute miracles for me.

Drop the familiar - I don't think he can have it. And I hope you're making Bolt of Change your "free" psychic power and taking wind of chaos for the lesser points cost...

Hmm. Take a Power Weapon on the Champion.

Whooooa. Slow down.
Drop the Focus, Familiar and TTP.
Pick up: None.
Drop: Daemonic Strength and Power Weapon.
Pick up: Power Fist.

Why? The power fist will work better vs. vehicles. Plus, all that Psychic potential... 104 points for a model not even close to as good as your Daemon Prince. My Champions have Mutation, Wind of Chaos, Power Fist, Bolt Pistol, and they do massive damage in games.

Likewise.

Fair enough.

Drop the Parasitic possession, too many points. Warp Flame might also be too much. You only want this thing as a transport, I try to keep mine at 58 points.

Good.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++

You don't have enough units.

In my 1,000 points, I have three units and a Daemon Prince. In 1500 points, I have four units, a predator, a Daemon Prince.

In 1850 points, I have five units, a Daemon Prince and a Defiler. Plus some extra goodies to fill up the remaining points left over.

Taking two units and a unit of Daemons isn't enough models IMO, and taking the Lord of Change is a risk.

You could also take some Rubric Terminators - for 426 points, you get a unit like this:

Thousand Sons Unit Theta (Terminators)
9 x Rubrics w/ Mark of tzeentch; Terminator Armour
Champion w/ Power Weapon; Chainfist; Wind of Chaos; Daemonic Mutation
8 x Rubrics w/ Combi-bolters; Power Weapons


Works a treat.
