Been away from dakka for a couple of weeks due to starting back at work and my free time being eaten away by the new Walking Dead mobile game. But I came up with this list last night and I've got to say, I'm pretty impressed by what I've fit into the list. Now I don't have the Eldar yet, the griffon, the wyverns, the quad mortars (Thudd guns) or a 3rd earthshaker, but I am definitely aiming towards collecting this. For those unfamiliar with Renegade (Purge) rules they will be mentioned after the list.

Renegades (The Purge):
Arch demagogue, Ordnance Tyrant (in a rapier battery)
4 disciples

3 spawn

3 spawn

3 spawn

1 Earthshaker

1 Earthshaker

1 Earthshaker

Platoon
10 renegades with 2 flamers
Chimera with heavy flamer

2 Wyverns

1 Griffon

Plasma Oblitorator

Eldar:
Aspect Host
3 Dark Reapers (1 of which is an Exarch)

5 Fire Dragons
Wave Serpent with Scatter laser and Shuriken Cannon

5 Fire Dragons
Wave Serpent with Scatter laser and Shuriken Cannon

1850pts

So The Purge has 6 Elite (2 of which are compulsory) and 4 HS slots which I have taken full advantage of. Ordnance Tyrant allows me to take Quad Mortars as troops and Earthshakers as elites. It also allows me to shoot units locked in combat with my own (with barrage weapons).
All blast weapon templates stay on the board for a turn and count as dangerous terrain. With 20 small blasts and 4 large blasts, this will cause havoc for my opponents manouverability. All flamers count as having shred and gets hot.

The Dark Reapers go in the Oblitorator to give 2! bs6 st7 ap2 Primary weapon 7" blasts that ignore jink, followed by 4 ignoring jink st5 ap3 bs5 shots. So anything relying on a jink save is screwed.

I have 26 seperate units so MSU is covered. The units are so cheap that I can effectively ignore flyers.
Anti tank comes in the form of 6 bs3 tl st9 ap1 ordnance, 3 st9 5" ordnance and 2 squads of fire dragons. Anti troop is prevalent throughout the list.
The mobile (outside of deployment zone scoring) part of the army consists of 9 spawn, 3 chimeras, 30 renegades, 10 fragons and 2 wave serpents split into 13 seperate units.

If I need speed bumps, the disciples, renegades and spawn should be sufficient (and allow me to pummel the opponent in assault with them with all the artillery).

Should be a nasty list to face. What do you think?

I could drop the scatter lasers down to a second shuriken cannon on both serps and use the 10pts to get an autocannon for the disciples. I lose 12" range and 1 st6 shot on each serp but gain 2 st7 ap4 shots on the disciples and psudo-rending on the shuriken cannon shots (also syncs better with the other shuriken cannon and the shield). Is this a better idea?

I mean.. obviously powerfull.. But.. Eldar .. eurgh. Come the apocalypse allies right? So deployment will be really difficult!

Not the biggest issue tbf, as long as the oblitorator is deployed 12" away from the renegades. It can be placed off in a corner/edge, as it certainly has the reach. The serps can be placed near it too. Almost like splitting the army in two.

I'm not a huge eldar fan either, but there is no model anywhere near as effective as a DR exarch in an aspect host for the oblitorator. He grants it bs6, ignores jink and two shots.

Brutal list! But elves!? Wakakakaka

I didn't realise the plasma obliterator could be fired by an operator, I thought it was an automatic weapon system like the vengeance batteries?
