I have a Nurgle themed CSM army that i want to augment with a allied detachment of Renegades. The idea is to add cheap units to my army while keeping my Nurgly theme. I don't mind losing, i just don't want to have a fluff army that wont work. I am pretty new to the game (less than 20 games under my belt) and i am still learning, my tactics and list building needs a lot of work. Anyways let me know what you think.

Couple of problems with the renegade detatchment.

You are only allowed one unit of plague zombies . Also so be eligible for those, your arch demagogue must be your warlord.

(And to be honest, you aren't really gaining anything as typhus lets you take zombies anyway) .

If you want renegades there are lots of nice units to choose from.

1. I wanted the renegade zombies due to price, they are even cheaper than the CSM ones, around 35 points at the amount i have.
2. I thought Allied detachments could have two Troop choices.

Yes allied detachments are two troop BUT plague zombies are 0-1. They can go up to 50 men tho.

So you put together something like:

Arch deacon of nurgle (warlord)
50 zombies.
mutants/infantry/vets (mutants are 30 pts base)

Typhus (allied)
plague marines (elites)
Nurgle marines (troops)

Daemon prince (allied)
Plaguebearers.

They fill out with units you want.

I would argue too many upgrades. I run basic rhinos, and maye just a power axe on my plague champs. That is alot of points in to a daemon prince, what do you want him to do? I normally make lists with the philosophy of "boys over toys", meaning more bodies than upgrades.
