Editing Warhammer 40,000/7th Edition Tactics/Renegades and Heretics (section)

==Why Play Renegades & Heretics==
*You've got leftover units from the old [[Eye of Terror]] campaign that introduced [[Lost and the Damned]], as well as some stuff from old CSM and IG codices (mostly good stuff)
*You want to play chaos without [[Space Marines|superhumans]] or [[daemons]]
*You love the great diversity provided with many options for your units. 
*Modelling opportunities are simply amazing with this army. Even though the army is widely based on hordes, you can pick units basically from any model site, since renegades are very diverse. You can also use a load of your old Warhammer Fantasy bits.
*Ridiculous amount of Lord of War options if you're using Escalation. They get almost everything from super heavy tanks to Chaos Titans to world-destroying demons that herald the apocalypse end of times (all of which actually happened in the fluff. You don't know hell until you have lived through Vraks).

7th Edition changes to the Renegades & Heretics list also made it ''incredibly'' customisable and also negated almost all of the issues with the older version of the rules:
*The random leadership issue is still a thing, but there are so many methods of improving or re-rolling it that it essentially means that its not really a problem, other than tracking what units have what score.
*Renegade Ogryns got WAY better and don't die from exhaustion any more.
*Chaos Covenants on pretty much anything, giving you the ability to customise squads to your god.
*HQ choices actually doing things other than taking up HQ slots.
*Cheaper EVERYTHING including tanks and flyers of a saving between 10%-25% in points. Though you suffer WS/BS2 across most of the army but that can easily be bought to bring them up to Guard standards.
