AekoldHelbrass Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 So, now we finally have humans in our armies, and half of them comes with autoguns, which is totally useless in my opinion. But now we can use Vraks renegades as battle brothers, getting some quite interesting options... For example rogue sorcerers for the price of one marine, preachers who gives rerolls to hit, and mortar squads with chemical shells with AP3. But here is the question: will IG-style platoons be useful for CSM? In IA7 they are 10 points more expensive than IG, and without full potential of IG. Sill you can field 55 bodies for a price of 10 havocs with flaks, add 5 plasmaguns and lots of heavy weapons. Will this additional cost be worth cheap sorcerers and infiltrators with 3 plasmas for price of 9 basic marines?

Emperors Immortals Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I certainly think so, especially with the Ogryn units. Though that may be due to my 3000ish pts worth of Vraks in storage....... -edited to add- It also gives us easy access to weapons platforms, mutant rabbles and Hell Talons which are all good units without needing Aeronautica,as well as artillery strikes and preachers of nurgle which are fun and fluffy too :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/264442-using-vraksian-renegades/#findComment-3221882 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaguecaster Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 I think it will be funny 50 strong plague zombie hordes without taking typhus would be funny especially with a couple of preachers or psykers of Nurgle in them has there been an update for the servants of decay armylist????

the emperor is scottish Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I love the sound of this. I like the idea of having to big block units of vracks backed up by the elite termi or chosen squad and chaos lord.

Caffeineated Chaos Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Their cultists are better. Workers rabble can get up to 40 man squads. Same price. No champ to add unnecessary points, no cost to trade out for autoguns, and can have as many flamers for as cheap. EDIT: For spelling.

Tenebris Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 Heresy! S 3 and Ap - guns are awesome...in the hands of a Cadian, Mordian, Valhallan...well you get the idea. Still I kinda see the Vraks militia as great cultists.
