Rebel Guard

Has to be apocalypse, as too many HQs are taken, too many special weapons are in a squad and Apostate Cardinal cannot be given plasma pistol normally.

Apostate Cardinal with Plasma Pistol and 3 Crusaders.
6 Mutants with 1 Mutant Boss with Laspistol and 6 Flamers.
14 Traitors with 1 Agitator (split into smaller squads) with 2 Sniper Rifles, 2 Flamers and 2 Grenade launchers.
2 Rouge Psykers, each with Puppet Dance, an enhancer and one other power.
1 Primaris Psyker.
9 Stormtroopers with 1 Sergeant with Power Weapon, 1 Flamer and 1 Grenade Launcher.

That's what I've got now, adds up to 823 points. If anyone wants to buy me a Christmas present, I'm looking for a Cadian Squad and a Cadian Heavy Weapons Squad to make 13 Traitors with 3 Lascannons, making a neat 995 point army.

Any comments? Ideas? Suggestions? Free food?

it sounds just lie vraks all you need is some more mutants. well.. lots more mutants. and lots more points,and some renegade tanks.

Well, mutants are a bit suckish (BS 2) at range and only okay in close combat, whereas traitors have good stats and infiltrate, which is fun...

As for tanks, playing with the idea of a Bane Wolf (wounds on 2+, AP 3) for anti-marine support, so with upgrades that comes to 140 points. That leaves me with 37 points left, which would go on 2 traitors with a lascannon, to make 999 points.

Otherwise, I'd get a Deathstrike Missile Launcher, for 160 points, and then just get 2 traitors, also making 999 points.

Failing that, 2 chimeras for my traitors, with upgrades that makes 160 points, then get 2 more traitors, also making 999 points.

However, thanks to GUO I'm getting 19 traitors from here, so that's a neat 172 points extra (making 995), and enough points left over to get another sniper rifle. Hooray!

Meh mutants = MEAT SHIELD!

Not if you let them get close-up. They're pretty nice.

Still though, it's like gaunts, you know they are shitty but once they get close they are pretty scary, a meat shield needs to be a bit scary or people will just ignore it

Well, 3 attacks each on a charge, an option to makes them S4 and a max unit size of 30 makes them quite a threat

Indeed = a REALLY scary meat shield, it's a bit like 10 SPAWNS! Running towards you!

Aye, not a friendly sight. Or rouge psykers. 5 wounds, and a minimum of 40 points each. 5 wounds!

I know.... that's quite scary, what codex are the psykers in?

Witch hunters, page 40. They're the adversaries.

Really? So they are chaos? I can use them? O_O WANT O_O WANT O_O WANT O_O

Umm, they can be added to any army.
