so I got the renegade knight box set today via the post, sat down and read the rules and worked out what a knight would go for me list (apart from being scary in a army of scary things)
after deciding I want the knight to fix up my shooting phase i sat down and worked out how to get him in. here's the potential list for him:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
PLAYER: Samuel cook
ALLIANCE LEVEL: BATTLE BROTHERS
PRIMARY DETACHMENT: COMBINED ARMS DETACHMENT: Chaos space marines codex, Faction Chaos Space Marine
HQ1: Chaos lord (65) Mark of Khrone (10), Axe of blind fury (35), Sigil of corruption (25), Juggernaut of khrone (35), Veterans of the long war (5). [175] (WARLORD)
HQ2: Sorcerer (60) Level 3 (50), Bike (20), Force stave (0), Spell Familiar (15), Sigil of corruption (25), Veterans of the long war (5). [175]
Troop1: Chaos space marines (75) + 5 Chaos space marines (65), 2 Plasma guns (30), Veterans of the long war (10) [180]
Troop2: Chaos space marines (75) + 5 Chaos space marines (65), 2 Plasma guns (30), Veterans of the long war (10) [180]
FA1: Chaos bikers (70) + 4 Chaos bikers (80), Mark of Nurgle (42), Veterans of the long war (7) [199]
FA2: Helldrake (170) + bale flamer (0) [170]
HS1: Maulerfiend (125) 2 Lasher tendrils (10) [135]
HS2: Maulerfiend (125) 2 Lasher tendrils (10) [135]
Transport1: Rhino (Transport Troop1) [35]
Transport2: Rhino (Transport Troop2) [35]
Total [1419]
SECONDARY DETACHMENT: Forsworn Knight detachment, Renegade knight supplement
Lords of war 1: Renegade knight (325) – Avenger Gatling cannon with heavy flamer (50), thermal cannon (55) [430]
Total [430]
Army total: [1849pts]
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
by dropping the cultists, a hell drake and a mauler fiend, as well as the biker champion (model as well) and the bikers melta guns i was able to get him in with a Gatling cannon and the big ass melta-cannon.
what do people think, a worth while addition?
Edit:
Also was thinking of changing the chaos lord into a 2nd sorcerer, its the same points cost and would give me a 2nd psyker for telepathy rolls, while the bike squad will lose its biggest combat potential, it will also change the unit to pure bikes, allowing them to turbo boost (Juggernaut is cavalry and has no turbo boost), this will make the unit a objective grabber, and light unit killer (3 attacks on the charge each + 9 twin linked bolters for shooting).

standard deffwing tactic: rush fast and hit like a runaway freight train with a rocket booster on the last carriage...
remember kids, never trust an ork who shows his teeth
