Yeah I think only Chaos would really support a rebellion. In the book "Nightbringer" by Graham McNiell, there is a rebellion, but the Necrons do not fight with the rebellious populace. Granted, they were not awake yet, but I don't think they would have anyway. Dark Eldar are not going do so either. Really the only other faction besides chaos that might do this is if there was a genestealer cult. But even then it's only a few genestealers who are actually there.

But otherwise yeah, that's what a rebellious hive would look like. Now, this could not really stand up to a full-fledged army. You should create a scenario(s) to go along with it because a well-composed SM army (or any other for that matter) will rip right through this one. Perhaps close-quarters, and the army there to supress the rebelion may only use one HQ up to 100 points and only troop choices, or something.

[DeAd_cOmMaNdO]

yeah i thought about the necron thing after posting it - if the rumours of the mars campaig are to be believed im sure necrons would ave something to do with tech-traitors, though i cant see them fighting alongside them

[Killermoose]

I really doubt that pretty much any race (except Chaos) would support a rebellion. Necrons, the guys who are trying to pretty much kill every living thing, are hardly going to support a load of disgruntled workers who aren't getting paid enough.

[DeAd_cOmMaNdO]

this list could be used in scenarios in the campaign were developing so get working

[The Horror in the Shadows]

in The lord of the night BL book, the inquisitor is there to hunt down a tau-backed cult before they can rebel.

Necrons might have a following among the more low-tech peoples, who they might enslave/harvest later. Nercons aren't stupid, if you can get a civil war to begin then the hive is much easier to take, especially if you have traitors infilirating the enemy hidden strongholds, the traitors would just be killed last.

For nids, its there for the genestealer cults. so are limited to genestealers and maybe lictors

Cunning ork boss might make a deal with a corrupt imperial in a lust for power (see Herman Von Strab of Armageddon in
Annihilation Squad BL book)

Eldar backed rebellion might be used to avoid a imperial gerenal attacking a eldar craftworld etc.

witch/demon hunters inquistor leds the people against a corrupt lord

space marines rally the people against the horrible xenos etc.

imperial guard led the defense of the hive with locals helping best they can

the Codex lets the player come up with the fluff for the force.

[DeAd_cOmMaNdO]

thats fair enough but, for instance, take the example of the marines leading the planets populatio against the evil xenos: thats not a rebellion.

i see what you had in mind for the army, but the name is misleading.

[Heroka Vendile]

quick note - this is a rebellion force made of of a uprising of the general populice, yes?
In that case, make the standard issue weapon "fire-arms" (see either E.o.T. or Wargear for the full rules) - the Gets Hot rule can be explained by their inexperience with weapons (or just taking the opertunaty to shoot their rivals in the back).
Also a good Elites choice would be to have a 0-1 Platoon of IG, tho there must be fewer individual squads of IG within the platoon than there are "Angry Mobs" in the Troops section.
