With the spoilers up for Freeblade: Renegade, it seems fitting that we get some preliminary list builds up. Here's what I'm looking to build:
Purge Detachment 965
- Why Purge? - Area denial rules and less fat (i.e.: no obligatory CSMs/Cultists).
HQ 230
Typhus 230
- The rancid cream filling of our primary destraction Carnifex unit, and nets us a second Relic unlock.
Elites 315
2 Mutilators 110 Mark of Nurgle 12 Veterans of the Long War 8
- The sticky Caramel to Typhus's chewy nuggat. There to fill a compulsory slot and give the Herald some extra wounds/hits.
Ferum Infernus Dreadnought 135 Dedication to Nurgle 20 Destroyer of Cities 30 Extra Armour 10
- Comp number 2 is there to hold the line and make things try to stay away.
Heavy Support 385
Infernal Relic Land Raider Achilles 330 Pintle Heavy Bolter w/ Malefic Ammunition 30 Dozer Blade 5 Dirge Caster 5 Destroyer Blades 15
- This is the chocolate coating for our Typhus-flavored Mars bar. Loaded out to advance and fire, draw a lot of fire and dish a lot out, the Achilles just don't care. Ideally, it gets down field and starts making things really uncomfortable.
Fortifications 45
Wall of Martyrs Defence Implacement 40 Tanglewire 5
- Filler. Gives the FID something to sit on.
Forsworn House Detachment 875
Renegade Knight 325 Twin Icarus Autocannon 35 2 Avenger Gatling Cannon & Heavy Flamers 110
- Abbot, my infantry killer. There to swat down planes and chew up Marines.
Renegade Knight 325 Reaper Chainsword Twin Icarus Autocannon 35 Thermal Cannon 45
- Costello, my trouble-shooter. There to deal with other supes and to tear chunks out of my enemy's armour.
General strategy: push forward with the Knights and the Achilles and start deleting units. Hopefully, all the AoE and Rending gets the job done in a timely fashion. Hope Typhus gets Cursed Earth and your enemy either tries for Slay the Warlord or gives up on it.
