Since everyone's excited about Shattered Legions and Black Shields, I was hopeful that there's some excitement for Armies of Dark Compliance.

Here are the rules, in case you missed them: (larger format here)

I'm excited because I have a pretty insane amount of Cultists (~180) to use as 40k renegade guardsmen, and they will be perfect for Inducted Levy squads in 30k. Previously, I found the Militia/Cults list pretty boring, but mixing in some Astartes elements will make them far more exciting! I was very disappointed that M/C only had access to the Baneblade itself and no variants (I love the Stormlord), and now FINALLY this heretic can put together my Stormlord since Astartes can take them.

The primary motivation for pursuing this army is the minimal purchases I'll have to make. I already have lots of Renegade => Militia models, so adding a few units from the Word Bearers will spice things up. Been holding off on assembling my Fire Raptor for years now due to boredom with my CSM, but I think this will be the time to include it in my army. A few HQ characters to convert, some Gal Vorbak, maybe a Deredeo, possibly a unit of Veterans should be all the resin I'd need to make this a real army.

I guess if you think about it, it's sort of a 30k version of a CSM army. But this time, we can still use all the fancy loyalist toys because we didn't forget where we put them 10,000 years later. At this juncture only Word Bearers made sense for that purpose.

An allied detachment of Daemons will be the icing on the cake. Pure Khorne, of course .
