Hey, New to the forum. Anyway, I started a Chaos Renegades army, and was wondering what you guys thought. I bought some models from Wargames Factory, and so far none have arrived yet. If you have not yet seen their models, Check it out here. They come at almost dirt cheap, and have some pre-order packs that are perfect for any beginner army (enough to outfit two full platoons, and one or two command squads to boot) I also have a Leman Russ Battle Tank, and have kitted it out with sponsons (with interchangeable weapons) and the main weapon can be swapped out whenever needed. My main tactic for these guys are to be infantry waves, and use the tank as artillery until I get more of them, or buy a Basilisk. I am probably going to use the Forgeworld Renegades rules, unless I go to any Tournaments (which is doubtful.) It will (hopefully) be fleshed out into a Nice and fluffy Zoican army in the future. |

Heretic! Those are some nice models!  I can't wait to see them painted up and ready to rumble! You've got a pretty decent plan of attack, Basilisks are essentially my favorite unit in the game and they've killed more vital enu targets than any of my super heavies or lords. Lemans are just awesome as well, just make sure you keep it covered by infantry so it doesn't get assaulted by some crazy power fist suicide squad (trust me it'll happen). Could you post an army list so I can see your ideas better? Thanks heretic.... |

You'll need to convert up a Heritor Asphodel model, of course...  |

So... It goes something like: Command Squad in Chimera Exalted Champion W/PP and PW Refractor field Vox Chaos Banner Plasma Gun Chimera Heavy bolter upgrade Militia Platoon (x2) Militia Command Squad Officer W/ PP and PW Carapace armor Refractor 4 Vets Vox Plasma Gun Militia Squads (x5) With one enforcer per five squads Veteran BP 1 vox (in all the squads) flamer (the other five squads would have Grenade launchers) Enforcer W/ PP, Shotgun, PW, Refractor, and Carapace armor LRBT Plasma Sponsons Artillery Strikes Griffon Strike (x2) 1500 pts. Essentially, the goal is to use Combined squads into two hordes of 50 troops, and rush the nearest force of units, and have the chimera and LRBT zip around shooting all the bigger threats. once in a while, have the officers call in the artillery for mass bombardments. I go against tau, orks, Nids, and SM often, so I try to come up with something that can cause damage against everything. I may use a Chaos terminator lord to convert up a Heritor Asphodel model, but it has been a while since i have read Necropolis, gonna try and brush up on what he uses and get a feeling of what to start with to convert. If I do get him, I probably will use him as a "count-as" Straken, since he is essentially a SM, just with a shotgun. If I do do this, then I will use the Codex rules. Normally I use the Forge World Vraks rules, which you can find here. |

Been a month since I bought the Zoican Infantry from Wargames Factory...Still nothing, just a "Thank you for your order" message. Kinda wonder if I just got scammed.

I've heard on other forums (I think it may have been BoLS) that Wargames Factory's shipping sometimes isn't the fastest.

I've bought a couple historical kits from them which came quickly. I wouldn't worry about a scam, but I would contact their customer service ASAP.

So these look fantastic! They would look great supplemented with some FW Renegades! Could you take a pic of one next to a GW Cadian to see the size difference?

I can live with that. (Though Creed will not be pleased to hear it.)
I have heard the foul warp energies that taint a man can also cause his body to alter. Even if it is only half a head.
Wow, a Month and just now getting a reply? Did they give a reason for their slow processing speed? I've ordered bulk from FW during Christmas and have had it shipped internationally in half that time. Looks like maybe people are warming up to these new models in mass.

I went to the site,and they posted that they apparently changed management,and asked if I wanted a refund or the order. I picked the order,and now hope to see a large package at my doorstep before the month is out.

Hey, just wondering...
Would it be smart to buy all the Seige of Vraks Books online, and use the rules in there, or just go with the list on the website ( under the downloads page on Forgeworld)?
I saw they had some different army types (servants of slaughter, ect.) and can't find them anywhere else.

I recently just purchased all of the Vraks books. If you have the money, and can put up with the utter lack of editing and abominable writing (typos everywhere in the fluff section) they make for an interesting read. If you just want the rules for the Renegades army list, and you can download them instead, well you might want to do that and save yourself around $210.

Thats where I got the rules. I have never heard of the "Servants of (insert your choice of Chaos here) list", and was wondering if it had better rules than the online download. Plus, If I want, I wouldn't need to switch between a DKOK and a Chaos list (which I find that I probably could use the same WF models and tanks, just have different banner bearers (one with a chaos star, the other with the generic Cadian flag), if its just in one to two books (part I and II, respectivly).
