Well I played my first real 40k game today. 2000 point game using this list:

HQ:

Sorcerer with mark of Tzeentch
-Warptime
-Bolt of Change
-Plasma Pistol

Elite:
9 Chosen with MoT
-Bolt of Change
-AS has Wind of Chaos

Troop:

11 Thousand Sons
- Bolt of Change

11 Thousand Sons
- Bolt of Change

11 Thousand Sons
- Bolt of Change

Fast Attack:

15 Raptors with Power Weapon, 2 Meltaguns and Icon of Tzeentch

Turn 1: My Thousand Sons really show me what slow and purposeful is by only moving 2 inches forward, followed by losing 2 to a missile launcher. Raptors begin moving through cover towards a squad advancing on me.

Turn 2: A Rhino moves too close to my Chosen and gets zapped. One casualty on my side to a missile again. Raptors pounce on a squad and force them to retreat.

Turn 3: A Whirlwind take out 3 Thousand Sons, meanwhile my Raptors are now locked in combat with 3 squads of marines and holding their own! Chosen and one of my squads zap a whole squad of marines down in one turn, Thousand Sons stun a Rhino

Turn 4: No deaths except for a few Raptors here and there as well as some marines in the brawl.

Turn 5: Raptors finally buy it but it's too late for another full squad of marines, which are zapped to dust. Rhino finally goes down

Turn 6: One of my Thousand Sons squads get charged and hold out while managing to kill a marine. My Sorcerer shows the enemy Librarian what it is to have true power!

Turn 7: I lose a Chosen but manage to destroy the squad locked in combat with my Thousand Sons squad.

Turn 8: My Thousand Sons squads have all managed to get within rapid range when the game is called because of store closing hours.

Total deaths for my side: 15 Raptors, 1 Chosen, and 6 Thousand Sons compared to 3 whole squads of marines destroyed, 2 Rhinos, Librarian and about two more squads knocked down to half strength.
