I'm not sure if this ought to belong in the Army List forum or the Tactics (or various subforums), my question here is not about points values but about the best way to progress and expand my list in order to increase its competitive edge. What I have listed below is the sum total of all of the models I currently have for my Renegade army, and depending on the points value they can be broken down into various lists to try and suit the game at hand. One thing I want to avoid where possible is meching up, partly due to not being too great at painting tanks and partly due to wanting a more "ramshackle" vibe barring the two stolen pieces of vehicular tech that I couldnt resist for the force.

I currently stand at:

HQ

Primaris Psyker

TROOPS

- 10 x Beastmen Veterans with 2 Meltas and 1 Flamer

- 10 x Cultist Veterans with 3 Plasmas

- Infantry Platoon Alpha:
PCS w/ 2 Grenade Launchers and Heavy Bolter Team
Infantry Squad One w/ 1 Flamer and Autocannon Team
Infantry Squad Two w/ 1 Flamer and Autocannon Team
Heavy weapons squad with 3 Missile Launchers

FAST ATTACK

- 10 Rough Riders with 2 Meltas

- Armoured Sentinel with Plasma Cannon

HEAVY SUPPORT

- Leman Russ Executioner with Plasma Sponsons

My current target is a healthy 1000 - 1500 point list, and would like to borrow the experience of the Dakka community for unit suggestions to add (or remove if any of my current ones dont work) to the list for a functional, competitive list with a fluff edge.

I'm rather attached to having Primaris Psyker filling one of the HQ options because I love my model and it fits a cult vibe.

I have a Harker counts as.

If anyone can think of a good way to use the new Chaos walker from FW as a "counts as" it'd be great.

ogryns would fit nicely mutants tend to fall towards chaos and psyker squads would fit in well with heretics...

not sure what the chaos walker is though

I'd heard mixed things about Ogyrns usefulness that had led me to question whether or not to take them, they'd provide a tough wall to defend the more frail gunline and pack a counterpunch for parts of my line not protected by Rough Riders.

ogryns are a hit and miss unit you do have to be carefull how you use them but they dont need to actually kill anything to make themselves worthwhile they are a great distraction and most people are scared of their stat line enough to prioritise them over things like heavy weapon squads etc
