My blog is primarily my own personal fluff in the Warhammer 40,000 universe regarding the Draconis system such as the Knight House Yato in Ryusei, their Household Militia, the Draconian Defenders, and the Forge World of Draconis IV with its Adeptus Mechanicus priesthood, Cybernetica cohorts and Skitarii legions, and the Titan Legion, Legio Draconis, known as the Dark Dragons.

New awesome Renegades rules!



Holy Terra!!! Look at what Vigilus Ablaze is giving all these Renegade Chapters! Check out Warhammer Community for more details!



Simply put, we are getting new Renegade Chapters Traits, and what they are getting is pretty awesome. No, I mean, really, really awesome, especially for Red Corsairs. Crimson Slaughter is good too, but I don't know whether they're restricted by the 1 Command Point maximum per battle round in matched play. Even then, gaining 1 Command Point every battle round whenever you kill at least one unit is pretty sweet (you need to roll a 5+, though)! But, but, but...the Red Corsairs is just too awesome to pass up on, too! And makes taking Chaos Space Marines great again!





By golly, if a Red Corsairs Battalion with 3 Chaos Space Marine squads in it would net you 8 Command Points. That's just freaking insane. Even a Specialist Detachment would be pretty good if you have like a HQ and Chosen and a couple of Dreadnoughts, you get 2 Command Points instead of 1. Nice.

You can look at the Stratagems in the Warhammer Community link, I'm not going through all of them because they seem a bit...lackluster when compared to the Renegade Chapter Traits. They have awesome Relics, though. The Flawless Cloak extends your aura abilities by 3".



And then you have the Red Corsairs' awesome combi-melta. Cool. Put that on a Chaos Lord in Terminator Armor for maximum ownage! And you'll be firing 6 shots no matter where you are at BS 2+, rerolling ones! 3+ if you choose to fire the melta part too, so not too bad.



We also have Fallen previewed here, but that's Dark Angels territory and has nothing to do with us. Wait, neither does Renegade Chapters, right? Wrong. Thousand Sons have a history of recruiting Renegade Space Marines. In the Ahriman Collection, Ahzek Ahriman recruited Astraeos and his surviving brothers from a Renegade Space Marine chapter. Astraeos was a Renegade Librarian who became a Sorcerer after learning under Ahriman. It would be cool to have an allied Renegade Chapter recruited to the Thousand Sons' cause, but...we'll see.

Anyway, I'll keep an eye out on more news from Vigilus Ablaze. I probably won't bother covering the other Legions because they seem almost exactly the same as in the current codex (Night Lords and Iron Warriors). So yeah. But if there's something that catches my interest and might be useful for the Thousand Sons, I'll be on top of it!
