Do the Thousand Sons still have non-rubricae tactical squads in 40k?

As per the books, no it's only Rubricae and Sorcerers.
Your warband might have some regular tactical squads, for whatever reason you want, like they're still neophytes, not full fledge sorcerers yet. Although there's already Aspiring Sorcerers leading the Rubricae.

Maybe it would just be better to do another Tzeentch-aligned chaos warband?

How many rubric marines are even left?

>>50810778
Yes. Sort of sucks that the other God's dedicated Marines could easily come from other warband's but Tzeentch's only fit the Thousand Sons

>>50810383
Wait, what happens when they implant a new thousand sons marine anyway? Do they have to pass their leadership roll or get dusted as soon as the gene seed matures?

Id say op should just use marine squads as newbies who werent around for the dusting.

holy fuck you have to be trolling. chaos marines don't implant and certainly not the thousand sons. like you don't know the minimum fluff so just fuck off.

even *if * thousand sons did implant, the newbs would suddenly start mutating like crazy because it was a flaw in there geneseed that they had to fix *with* the rubric.

>>50811194
they don't bother with regular marines, sorcerers or gtfo

>>50811269
Lol dude chaos marine implant people too. Or did you think they got rid of all their apothacaries just to watch the deamonculaba work?

>>50811269
It's my understanding, renegades like red corsairs and night lords along with the original legions still use the ol tried and true method of "stuff em full of geneseed and see what takes."

>>50811269
Confirmed talking out his ass with no idea of Thousand Sons fluff.

>>50811484
Not him, but from my vague knowledge of the Thousand Sons aren't they basically souls attached to power armor without bodies?

Rubric marines are the ones who got turned to dust inside their armour. Thousand Sons sorcerers are however 'normal' CSM. The difference is that all remaining TS were psykers after the rubric. These marines still have geneseed however and they still recruit.
