This is a fair point that I hadn't thought about.

Except all you do is take a min Red Corsair battalion (I think it's like less than 300 points?) to get +8 CP and then use it on your other detachment of Alpha Legion which DOES get VOTLW. So who cares if the Renegades don't get it? All they are doing is feeding CP to the stuff that does.

That's why it's bullgak. Because it just exacerbates the problem of taking a minimal battalion ONLY for getting bonus CP which you then turn around and use on "the good stuff"

This is exactly why soup in general (more specifically, loyal 32 and equivalent) is cancer to this game.

To clarify, I'm not against combining units to make a themed force - I'm against the framework that 8th has created to abuse the mechanic for advantage rules wise.
