I'm not saying that this is the best build but it's not the worst, and your playstyle defines a lot. I personally like cultists. I know others don't. After this, flesh it out based on how you feel comfortable playing, but a Getting STarted box of Tzeentch Daemons, a Mutalith Vortex Beast, or Magnus the Red aren't terrible choices in any case. Nor would another Arcanite Changecult be.

I have two lists I'll share with you - the 1KSons/Daemons list I use, and the 1KSons/Daemons/Renegades List. I find the latter most flexible but I also prefer shooty.
