I think you guys are overestiating Magnus, I would say Lorgar is the most powerfull daemon prince primach, we cant say out of all deamon princes, maybe tied with Belakor, but he certainlly has a more impresive resume than Magnus. Lorgar has the love of the Gods, which Magnus does not, Magnus is a pawn. Also Lorgar is more influential, his legion is intact (more so then Perturabo's actually), controlls several planets and stations in the Eye and Melstrum, and he is generally seen as a diety now by many chaos worshipers. As far as inflicting the most damege to the Imperium. The Black Legion has to take the title, I would say. And the IW,WB,DG, somewhere around the same level, then everyone else. But the WBearers could defenatelly do more damege if they wanted to.

Also you guys are way overestimatng Thousand Sons sorcerers. Space Marine captais have taken out Greater Deamons on ocasion. Regular marines have slain Brood Lords. No way one TS soceer can take a chapter! Yes they are powerfull but facing an entire chapter with their magic would distroy them! Chaos magic is dangerous remmember? It turns on you if you use it too much! Despite the rubic (which protects from mutation only) they would die! And true they have a lot of powerfull sorcerers but so do other legions and warbands. Like the Death Guard, with the likes of Ussax, who actually have more to show for their magic use than the TS. (They have killed waaaaay more). Black Legion and Word Bearer sorcerers like Marduk who could summon deamons at his whim, no ritual, sacrifice or anything, or Ygethmor.

What I'm trying to say is the Thousand Sons are not a mega elite force.
