Editing Warhammer 40,000/9th Edition Tactics/Renegades And Heretics (section)

==Why Play Renegades & Heretics==
===Pros===
*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 '''GLORIOUS CHAOS''' but without fancy [[Chaos Space Marines|superhumans]], [[Chaos Knight|cheesewalkers]] or [[daemons]].
*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. Between the resurrection of Genestealer cults, the new Necromunda, and the exploding industry of third-party models, you're practically swimming in bits ripe for conversion to make an army that's truly your own.
*An army of literally [[Your Dudes]]. You can theme your army lore nearly any way you want. Mercenaries, corrupt Rogue Trader forces, sky pirates, [[Beastmen (40k)|beastmen]] - go wild! 
* Imperial Guard Heavy Support is some of the best in the game.

===Cons===
*'''This army is only useful as an allied detachment because you have no WL traits, one regiment, and stratagems or command abilities besides the default.''' Any other army will outclass you by virtue of that alone. Finally got ObSec back in the update, thank the Dark Gods.
**As if that's not enough, '''Renegades & Heretics have also been consigned to Warhammer Legends''', meaning that there is no hope for any updates or supplements. With the recent reveals of the CSM 9E codex, it's likely you're just gonna get <strike> folded into the spiky boys as a mini-detachment in the vein of the [[Sisters of Silence]]</strike> forgotten.
*If you don't like conversions, you're gonna hate this army. Many of the units in this army have no official kits, so kitbashing and conversions are a must. If you don't want to simply get Cultists or Guardsmen models and paint them as you wish, you'll have to basically build the army from scratch.
*Over half of your roster is just Guard with competitive stuff docked - like grenades. Fighting Guard in particular will make you feel insecure.
