The RnH are for CP batteries as usual, total 18.

Pre-game, I upgrade the 30 Bloodletters and Bloodcrushers to Banners of Blood for 1+1CP, leaving me with 9CP for the +1 invul strat to make my Bloodthirster 3++, and potentially one 3CP Fight Again stratagem with the Bloodcrushers if something NEEDS to die.

The plan is to dump the Bloodthirster, the 30 strong unit of Bloodletters, the Bloodmaster and the Bloodcrushers into the warp for 2+2+1+2=7CP (Perhaps not the Bloodmaster if the +1S won't matter)

This is 61 out of 123 total Power Level (49.59% of my PL) so is legal under the Beta Tactical Reserves rule.

Turn 1: Go for objectives with the Renegades and small Bloodletters. Hopefully cripple something with the Skull Cannons if they are alive.
Turn 2: Deploy my bombs and charge 3D6" re-rolling with the Crushers and Thirsters (95% success).
Pretty much anything these two units touch is going to get deleted.
Turn 3: Pray I did enough damage to weather turns 3 though 5+.

Looks solid. Do you have a way to mitigate morale on the Guardsmen before the Thirster is on the table?

When not playing Beta rules, how do you plan to not get tabled? That's a lot of T3 bad saves....

The cultists are just there for CP.

I only play games with the beta rules anyway and I've yet to find someone who doesn't want to use them.

As for being tabled turn 1, I think that's not likely, especially if I hide the cultists behind LOS terrain or outrange them turn 1. The Skull Cannons have a beefy amount of wounds too.

If I am going 2nd and things went REALLY bad T1 to the point I think I'll be tabled T2, I'll drop a unit into my deployment and hope it's in range of something.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the Cannons. With those as well as 60 bodies, there's no chance of getting wiped.

How are you going to deal with screens so that your Bomb can make a desirable charge? Do the Cannons have anti-horde?

The plan was to just multicharge and kill all the screens.

Works well, only problem could be a fast enemy or if he got a Flyer detachment. Skullcannons will not help much.
Its the same problem with my 60 Alpha Berserker.

Oh i take it back Skullcannons are not that bad against flyers.

You are not allowed to take a covenant or get bonuses from a covenant aslong as your warlord is not a RnH commander.
Secondly, why bother with a malfic lord, when you can pay 20 pts more and get rogue psykers.
The Commander Specific FAQ
Q: If my Warlord is not a Renegade Commander, does that
mean I cannot choose a Chaos Covenant for my Renegades and
Heretics units?
A: That is correct – in order to choose a Chaos Covenant
your Warlord must be a Renegade Commander.

PS: covenant of Slaanesh on RnH units? in a Khorne Daemon army?
What is this, you shall burn for this violation of lore and orifices.
jk aside, the khorne covenant could give you some more omph in a charge.
