This particular nobleman has run afoul of the Imperial authorities because of his peculiar and heretical interest in alien cultures. Basically, they are the personal army of a nobleman on a very feudal world with a large number of nobles who are constantly struggling against each other for power. The story behind my renegade guard is still evolving somewhat. The Tau set up first and had the first turn. Deployment zones were 12' away from a diagonal center line. The mission gave victory points for destroying units. Since it was such a small game, we played on a 4' by 4' board, and set up some ruined buildings for terrain. I played my renegade Imperial Guard, and my opponent played Tau. We played a small 500 point game to try learning the new rules. This was my first game of 6th Edition Warhammer 40,000.
