Some questions about 30k Imperials militia

[Nameless Worshipper]

I am a HH Word Bearer player. 

 

After I watched the new imperials militia rules, I have several questions, I noticed that some of chaos units has been removed like mutants, zombies, chaos spawns, beastman and etc.

 

I am wondering if there will be a new book for chaos renegades militia and cult in the future and adding these units back into the books for in the future.

Hope some of my minis can be used in the future

Some of it is still there like beastmen, i suspect the more chaotic elements would be covered by the ruinstorm list when it comes out much as they were in 1st.

Like Noserenda said, good ol' Beastmen are definitely still in, just use 'Abhuman Muster' & 'Debased Rabble' for your provenances, or 'Abhuman Muster' paired with 'Feral Warriors'

 

'Debased Rabble' plus 'Alchem Jackers' seems to be a pretty good combo for anything mutant-related, I'd say.

 

As for zombies, while not spot-on, the best thing you can probably go for would be 'Cyber-Augmetics' as it gives them Slow-and-Purposeful as well as FnP 6+

Sprinke it up with 'Kinfolk Helots' (yes, I know it's meant for Squats) to make them tougher (T4) and even slower.

Or even 'Endless Hordes' ?

 

Chaos / Mutant Spawn are missing at the moment, yes, but how about taking Ogryn Brute Squads with 'Tainted Flesh' and 'Debased Rabble' ?

Thanks, very useful inspiration. I am currently working on a very big army (around 300+ minis) based on 1.0 rules, should have a better plan ahead.

True, it is said there will be a new army released this winter, hope it will be the daemons of ruinstorm. BTW I also sent an email to FW ask them if there will be some new rules for renegades, but I don’t think they will reply any useful information

Pretty sure Daemons of Ruinstorm will also get PDF like Militia.

I am absolutely sure about that.

I believe they explicitly said as much.

They did indeed.

 

If there is miniature support coming for Ruinstorm daemons, it could be near or alongside the 40K codex for Chaos Daemons - which is at least a year away though.

[Castlerook]

Yeah, Ruinstorm Daemons will more than likely get a PDF.

The new army that is coming out in the Winter will more than likely be either Blackshields or the Imperial Army, being the middle ground between Solar Auxilia and the Militia.
