Alright so there is a local tournament this weekend so I get a chance to try out my renegades for the first time. The tournament is going to feature deathworld rules which means the very board could kill a good portion of my army. With that in mind I plan to mitigate the issue by running the unending host detachment from IA: Siege of Vraks. Let me know your thoughts... i'm wanting to build a competitive but fun list with GEQ dying in droves the way they should.

HQ:
4 Renegade Command Squad (Carapace Armour; Banner of Hate; 1 flamer)
1 Arch Demagogue (Pfist; Carapace Armour; MB; Refractor Field; Fanatic; Master of Renegades; Nurgle Chaos Covenant; Warlord)

Troops:
18 Plague Zombies (an escort for the demagogue)

Infantry platoon:
20 Platoon command squad (Militia Training; Command Net Vox; Lasguns; 3x Plasma Gun)
20 Infantry squad (Militia Training; Lasguns; 4x melta)
20 Infantry squad (Militia Training; Lasguns; 4x melta)

Infantry platoon:
20 Platoon command squad (Militia Training; Command Net Vox; Lasguns; 2x Las cannons)
20 Infantry squad (Militia Training; Lasguns; 2x Las cannons)
20 Infantry squad (Militia Training; Lasguns; 2x Las cannons)

Infantry platoon:
20 Platoon command squad (Militia Training; Command Net Vox; Lasguns; 2x Auto Cannons)
20 Infantry squad (Militia Training; Lasguns; 2x Las cannons)
20 Infantry squad (Militia Training; Lasguns; 2x Auto Cannons)

Infantry platoon:
20 Platoon command squad (Militia Training; Command Net Vox; Lasguns; 3x Plasma)
20 Infantry squad (Militia Training; Lasguns; 4x melta guns)
20 Infantry squad (Militia Training; Lasguns; 2x Auto cannons)

Heavy support:
6 Renegade Support Squad (6x Auto Cannons; Militia training) These guys sit in the fortification with 6 fire points


Fortification:
Wall of Martyrs Firestorm Redoubt (Ammo Store; Void Shield; Barricades x 3; Gun Emplacement Quad-Gun; Magos Machine Spirit) BS3 Automated weapons; Re-roll 1's for the guys in side; barricades to keep my other units alive to some degree and the fortification can also hide my banner of hate out of los.

So the fortification is rather expensive but really supports my army well with the banner being able to hide behind the structure and my army lacked anti-air and interceptor. The view port allowing 6 models to fire out is pretty nice as 12 autocannon shots a turn will be firing at a single unit with a re-roll of all to hit rolls of one. TBH i was running out of painted models for the army. I have a big praetorian army but even its numbers are stretched thin to make this army happen. I can also hide my warlord in the structure if i get desperate enough. The death world rules will not be known until the day of the event. What are your all's thoughts?

How was your tournament?

I have the report posted over in the above thread... Rounds one and two are already posted.

I have a question about the hwt. If they are part of the 20 men infantry platoon and the platoon dies leaving the hwt. Then can the other 16 men respawn or do you have tk wait for the 2 hwt to also die ?

They're a part of the unit. Its not like you bought a second unit to take heavy weapons

So if they snipe the 2 hwt then you need to have the other 16 men die b4 you respawn...

They can also flee off the board to re-spawn... though my opponent can snipe all my heavy weapons and special weapons if they so choose... that may take a while though.
