With renegades going last chance to buy on forgeworld, I am contemplating splurging on a renegade army. I have however not played any games of 8th, so I donĀ“t really know what a good playable army looks like. Not looking for tourney-winning list here, but not wanting to just have to give up immediately against even stronger lists.
The feel I am going for is a city fight insurgency / guerrilla force, not strong enough to meet the PDF / guard in open combat yet, they have to resort to unorthodox methods to fight, using civilian vehicles with guns strapped to them or loaded with explosives (technicals), looted army equipment, constuction vehicles etc.
I want my opponent to feel like they are fighting an insurgency, with sniper fire, enemy troops engaging in hand to hand combat and with attacks coming from unknown directions (Marbo, scions, rough riders). I would have liked being able to get more horde-y infantry (cultist mobs) and more scions / deepstrikers (hidden resistance cells), but not sure what to drop to get that in.
Brigade Detachment - Catachan doctrine
HQ-
The General (company commander) Warlord, Kurovs Aquila, grand strategist
Angral the chosen (Iron Hand straken)
Rogue Psyker (Primaris psyker), nightshroud, psychic barrier
Elites -
7 Ogryn Berserkers (bullgryn), mauls, mix of shields
Ogryn Commando (ogryn bodyguard), deathmask, slabshield, maul
5 Snipers (ratlings)
Troops -
3x Infantry Squad, heavy bolter, flamer, power maul
2x Infantry Squad, mortar, grenade launcher, power maul
1x Infantry Squad, grenade launcher, power maul
1x Resistance Cell (5 scions), 2x plasmagun
Fast Attack -
5 Rough riders
2x Gun Technicals (Tauros venators), twin multilasers
2x AT Technicals (Tauros venators) twin lascannons
Heavy Support -
2x Suicide bomb trucks (cyclops)
Manticore
Basilisk
3x Sentinel powerlifters
Vanguard Detachment - Catachan doctrine
HQ -
The Butcher (Sly Marbo)
Elites -
Rogue Astropath, nightshroud
2x Enforcer (platoon commander), power maul
Instigator (priest), chainsword
The list feels a bit light on AT, with just 4 lascannons (on two fragile platforms) and no meltas, but maybe close combat, suicide bomb trucks and the artillery can make up for it?
