OKAY, so the newer Siege of Vraks book from forge world says in the renegade guard list that if you take no chaos covenant, you can take 0-3 units of renegade marauders in your elite choices ... what are renegade marauders ... where do i find their rules and what do they look like.

also when it comes to mutants ... i was going to go with a horde of ghouls from vampire counts but i feel it needs to be a little more diverse. any other ideas for me? pictures ?


Thanks for any input

Their stats can be found in the lost and damned list. Theyre basically mercenaries and space pirates. Most lists ive seen don't take them as they're expensive (compared to everything else in the dex) but the modelling options are endless. I was planning on making a unit of Kroot and Orks to represent them.

You could go for the ghouls but add bits to them. I remember seeing a picture (magic of google) of some that had lasguns and a few other IG bits. Looked really cool. I myself am struggling with modeling mutant rabble so I really don't know

Marauders are an elite choice for the IA:13 book, however both IA:13 and Vraks have a lot of issues in them that dont make sense. The wording for some units is a little off, and the weapon profiles can be completely missing!

Toss in some fantasy flagarants and mix up all 3 kits in a kitbash for some awesome mutants. You could also use beastmen.

Right now, for mutant rabble, I am still trying to find an affordable option for them. Flagarants with bits are what I want to do, because I think they would look awesome, but they are too expensive, so free company with bits is probably what I will end up doing.

so im thinking ... some beast men and some kroot and some humanes for marauders. maybe using all three squads and utilizing some melta and outflanking. some new age of sigmar stuff might work as well .
for mutants ill stick with ghouls and green stuff some, cultist adding tentacles, extra heads and arms ... and probably have some beastmen in there...
sound about right???

Whatever floats your goat. Ill be doing the same for my marauders, fluffy and fun.

Just saw how cheap free company is, holy (---)

anyone have any pics of mutants they have made??

I'm planning on doing a mutant rabble army using around 200 beastmen. So don't steal my idea. And if you outbid me on ebay I'll cut you!

But yeah, I think using a mix of WHF/AOS and some select 40k spruces would look great. Stuff like beastmen, flagellants, ghouls, zombies (there are some great non-GW kits), free company, chaos cultists, cadians, catchans, and a mix of other companies generic sci-fi kits. Really the more hodgepodge you can go the better.

My mutants look like this:



They must wear masks by law due to their horrific disfigurement :(

Dark Eldar Arms
Scion Bolt Pistol (counts as auto pistol)
Witch Mask
Empire Crossbowmen Body
