''Another of Magnus the Traitor's creations, the Renegade is his idea of the perfect support warjack. With the obliterator rocket able to destroy targets at long range, the shredder's ability to tear enemies apart in melee, and an arc node that allows Magnus the ability of slinging spells over the field, the Renegade performs a variety of battlefield roles.''

= Thoughts on {{PAGENAME}} =
=== {{PAGENAME}} in a nutshell===
The Renegade can only be used in the battle group of either version of Magnus, and they're limited to two in any given army. If you're playing Magnus1, you probably want to bring along at least one. While they can only fire once, you can consider them walking mini-feats. Combine that with an arc node, and you've got a real threat to warcasters. Magnus2 is often seen without them in warjack heavy builds.

=== Combos & Synergies ===
* The fact that it's a arc node opens up all sorts of tactics with [[Magnus the Traitor]], such as sniping a 'jack in the back with [[Arcantrik Bolt]] to stationary it for other units to attack, casting [[Snipe]] on itself to give it more range on its Obliterator missile, or firing off a [[Scourge]] to add more knockdown potential versus the enemy. Alternately, casting [[Blur]] and putting it in concealment makes it very hard to take down with ranged fire, allowing it to close to where it can use its Obliterator on a vulnerable target. [[Iron Aggression]] can give the Renegade an impressive number of attacks combined with its [[Critical Shred]] ability, but is probably best cast on other 'jacks.
* [[Magnus the Warlord]] uses it to arc [[Calamity]] or sometimes [[Obliteration]], which can occasionally be used to clear a lot of models or take out a hard to reach high value target. His field marshal also makes it ARM 19 in melee which is very servicable for a light.
* [[Freebooter]] - With trash it serves as a follow up to mop up everything the rocket knocks down.

=== Drawbacks and Downsides ===
* You only get one shot with the Obliterator; make it count!
** Be on the lookout for Shield Guards, Sac Pawn models or those with the Sucker! rule around.
* There are rare conditions where the enemy can take over your warjack (chiefly the [[:Category:Domination|Domination spell]] and the Machine Wraith). Watch out for Cryx and Haley2 and 3.
* Backstab is based on where Magnus is standing, not where the Renegade is. You don't get it because the Renegade has run behind someone.

=== Tricks and Tips===
* The Renegade's Obliterator Missile does powerful damage, but more importantly knocks down everything it hits, making it perfect when setting up for assassinations or just to knock down a powerful unit so your other troops can pound it. Make sure you reserve a Focus to boost its attack roll to be sure you land the hit.
* Sometimes the threat of the Obliterator is as good as firing it. An opposing warcaster will usually be wary of the Renegade getting into a good firing position.
* Due to Arcing Fire only a huge-based model can screen a target from your Obliterator rocket - in every other situation you'll clip it, either with the blast damage, or with a direct hit via arcing fire (an Obliterator AoE has a 50,8 mm radius, 0,4 mm larger than a large base's radius plus the max 1" distance where arcing fire won't trigger). Don't forget that other targeting restrictions still apply.

=Other=
===Trivia===
* The Renegade's rules with Magnus are so weird because it was the prototype for character jacks and dates back all the way to [[Warmachine: Superiority]] (2006)
* They are likely the only non-character warjacks without FA:U that are restricted to a single caster. This is because Magnus only ever built two and the design has not been copied like the Mangler's.

===Who can take this warjack?===
The Renegade can be included only in a battlegroup belonging to Asheth Magnus. As of 2020-09 there are two versions of Magnus:

# [[Magnus the Traitor]]
# [[Magnus the Warlord]]
