This is a relatively simple question/proposition in relation to the Tyrant's Legion army list located in Imperial Armor 9: The Badab War. Essentially, I'd like to homebrew the list a little without dramatically affecting balance. Essentially, I just want to swap out the Marauder Elites army list entry for Renegade Ogryn Berzerkers from the Renegades and Heretics army list unique to the Imperial Armor 5+6 books.

For one, I have Ogryn Berzerkers and would love to use them in standard non-Apocalypse games, and I'm building a Tyrant's Legion army. It doesn't seem out of the question that such creatures wouldn't be used in a Legion force given the mindset of their Astral Claws masters and the diversity of forces conscripted into the Legion. I'm worried about upsetting the balance of the list, however.

What do you think?

Uh, you do realize that it says that the "Brutes" have no real specifics--but are just a vague abstract specifically so you can use the Ogryn Berzerkers or whatever else you dream up?

The TL is much to weak anyway, so why not?

So, you think simply substituting the Berzerkers for the Brutes is fair? I hasn't considered that. But giving them the unit special rules like a 4+ save, Furious Charge, etc I'm worried about. Also, I don't think the Legion is an uncompetitive list. I'm 4-2-1 right now with it, playing against Blood Angels, Vanilla SM, Mech. IG and 'Nids. I'm not a terrifically skilled player, and the likihood of all my opponents being awful is lower than the list simply being competitve.
