Hail traitors

Here is another attempt at a semi competitive list using renegade guard and Deamons.

The tactics go with deamons upfront hopefully tanking with the plaguebearers and regenerating them with cp.
The cultists follow up and take and hold while trying to screen the big guns and the banner command squad giving out free hits from the cultists.
I originally had milita with Vox casters and Vox command squads for big moral buff but since I’m running msu I figured that cultists will deal more damage for only 5points more and moral losses will be minimal.

All advice and comments welcome.

I'd check your points after chapter approved 18, chaos spawn are 25 points. Don't know if anything else has dropped.

With the daemon detachment I'm not sure what Horticulus Slimix brings you. I would drop him, one unit of nurglings and the plaguedrones. With that (and the spawn points drop) you can take 30 more plaguebearers, spoilpox scriviner and sloppity bilepiper. This makes plaguebearers dangerous and getting up to 5 damage (with virrulant blessing). Bilepiper makes it twice as likely you'll roll a 1 for your icon and get more back.

Wow i never thought renegades would get a points drop yay
Horty is mostly because he really good at fighting and staying alive. I’ve seen him take 2 smash captains and not only win easily but ended the game at full wounds from his self healing. I would really like the 2 units of 30x plaguebearers and the other hqs though that is awesome.

Thanks bro

I hope so.
Do you think the army list us viable.

Sure, but i would not pay for flamers when nade launchers or stubbers exist for 1/3 of the points 1/2 of the points of 1 flamer.

Ah the flamers are on the melee squads and fir softening before a charge or overwatch. I could do grenade launchers but with only bs5 thought flamers would work
