Vash's Warband are a handful of renegade space marines, non chaos worshipping, and a few dozen regular people who are basically space pirates. Their home base on on a planet in the Segmentum Pacificus, and also home to about 45,000 Imperial citizens whom they don't bother.
The world, Shierra II is a mixed biome ferrous planet with water covering about 55% of the planet's surface. It is mostly used by the Imperium as a dumping ground for scrap metal and other stable non-toxic waste.
Also visiting is Psyker Inquisitor Summer Oriel of the Ordo Hereticus who has made it her mission to track the rogue marines and bring them to justice, though she hasn't yet made her presence clear to them. She is waiting on some backup to arrive. She is pretty cool, but not cool enough to take on thirty four space marines and 70 regular dudes on her own. Some inquisitorial forces are supposed to show up eventually, but failing that she has some allies in a nearby space marine chapter.
Living in the massive scrapyard is a small Tau sect, drawing the attention of an Ordo Xenos inquisitor to the planet. The Tau currently have no good means of getting off the planet, and the Xenos inquisitor is puzzled trying to figure out how they got there in the first place, since it is a very long way from Tau space and the Tau do not possess warp travel.
The Tau salvage and recycle stuff, and as a result their equipment looks rather shoddy. Make no mistake though - despite its appearance it was built with all the care of the Earth Caste engineers under the guidance of their Ethereal Caste. There are about 1200 total Tau, of which about three quarters are of military age. This puts the total number of fighting fire caste Tau at around 230, which is not even close to being able to threaten the planetary defense force. As such they try to keep a low profile, but sometimes they encounter the scrap gangers and other degenerates.

What tanks can Renegades and Heretics use in the imperial armour 14 book?

Oh? What's this? The Greater Good has been replaced by a baneblade. What kind of tactical genius could have pulled this off?

I'm poor as fuck and sort of friendless, is getting into WH40k a bad idea?
Or do you think it will somehow help me straighten my life and get my shit together? (you know the social aspect and all that, being creative and what not)

>poor as fuck Definitely not, at least if you're talking about actually being poor and making it hard to pay bills. If you have some spare cash, it can be but you just need to avoid comp and do the painting side. It's helped a lot with my personal mental health issues because it's something physical that -you've- worked on and can show off.

It's an expensive habit if you're poor, but if there's a warhammer community in your area you could make some friends.

Are there any good alternatives to the old, bald servitors?
