I think for me the real joy of the renegades is the modelling, what do mean Frank you ask ? Good question, if you look at the armies in 40K the stuff they use from guns to tanks in more or less set in stone.

Apart from ork's who can have anything the other armies not so much so, unless you're doing stuff like Dave over at http://www.40kaddict.uk/ did for his nids, I mean Marines have rhino,s yep, Elder have Falcons and you can't really change that to much IMO.

Now Renegades don't really suffer from that as they're not a real army so get away with a bit more, when I started this army some years back it was done from a modelling point of view.

A simple little carriage to mount the havoc launcher on |
While FW do some wonderful models there more the real army type & that's not really what I'm looking for, what I want from this army is the we make do with whatever we can get.

Ready for a paint j |
So it was when I wanted to add so quad launchers and a heavy mortar I went for something a bit different, using havoc launchers on little home made carts or whatever it is you might call them.

One I've already painted |
The heavy mortar is a multiple rocket pod with a part of a defiler &,some plastic tube a part from the chaos tanks kit that just sits on the bottom part of the havoc launcher.

The mortar part I also use as a griffen |
Maybe not everyone's cup of tea but to me they help create the feeling I'm looking for in the army and give me that something that I know I'm not going to look across the table & see looking back at me.

No mistaking who side this is for. |
Most people think of Renegade's as a guard army just gone over to the other side, happily for me that is not the case at all & I try to show that the models, anyway that's it for this time as always my thanks for dropping in & if you'd care to comment it would be welcome.
