New Term At Wizard School: Thousand Sons vs Adeptus Custodes

 Lock up your newt eyes - the wizards are back in 10th Edition!

With only a couple of practice games under my belt, I'm taking the Court of Miracles off to Swindon to face Winters SEO and his Adeptus Custodes!

I have no idea what's good any more - and that's quite exciting. It's like starting a brand new army, except all the purchasing, building and painting has already been taken care of.

Poor Magnus didn't get much of a look-in in 9th Edition, so I wanted to put him through his paces. Rubrics and Scarab Occult are still the backbone, Land Raiders seem to be enjoying a deserved comeback, and even I can tell that Mutaliths look the business (having played their inferior versions for two editions, I feel justified in revelling in their new status as first-on-the-list badasses).

As for everything else - as long as I could hit exactly 2000pts, I was happy!
