OK so this is my first shoot at an BA army list here it is:
HQ
Commander Dante -225 points
Chief lib Mephiston -250 points
Elites
Sanguinary guard with chapter banner,
infernus pistol and a power fist -250 points

6 man assault terminator squad with
two thunder hammers and storm shields -250 points

A Sanguinary Priest with terminator armour,
blood chalice and a power sword -85 points

Furioso librarian with psychic powers:
Blood lance and smite -175 points
Troops
7 death company with jump packs,
2 power weapons, power fist and a hand flamer -305

Lemartes, guardian of the lost -150 points

10 man tactical squad with a missile launcher,
flamer, meltagun, sergeant has power fist - 200 points

10 man tactical squad with a meltagun, multimelta,
flamer, sergeant has a power weapon and melta bombs - 195

10 man assualt squad (sergeant has
a hand flamer with lightning claw - 215 points
Dedicated Transport

Rhino -50 points

Rhino -50 points

Land raider redeemer with a hunter-killer missile - 250


This adds up to exactly 2500 points, the Sanguinary priest go with the assault terminators and Dante with the Sanguinary guard. The terminators in the land raider and the tactical squads in the rhinos.
this is my first attempt at an list for BA, and it needs slight changes, like adding a scout bike squad with locator beacon so i can deep strike the land raider accurately while getting rid of something else.

Any help and thoughts on this would be helpful.

Your leaders are okay. Mephiston is amazing, but for the price, you can get a normal Librarian w/ terminator armor and attach him to your terms with priest. AND a furioso librarian dread. Those should be fielded with other dreads at the very least.

I think that Lemartes is quite expensive, especially if your only using 7 Death Company. I just think they're way to expensive, and if you want airborne people use Assault Squad since. The only reason to Take Death Company is in huge numbers, or to get the DC Dreadnought.

I like the list, the Mephiston is pretty expensive considering you can find other HQs with full armament of psyker powers for much much cheaper. Then just field more Terminators, or more assault squads.

I think you should make use of 5 man assault squads in Razorbacks with TL lascannon. It's like 155 points total, and it's a great saver with the assault squads special point deduction. If you get a couple of those it really helps a lot.

Thanks for the help, Mephiston is great but his point cost is pretty big, and about Lemartes with the DC, your right about that, ill update the list later.

Quick question: how many elites can i have in the army? i have four (the termies, than sanguinary priest, the Furioso lib and the sanguinary guard.)

Anyways ill post up an update later.

You can only have 3 elites in your army.

Okay here is the updated list, unfortunately i made an error with my previous list and ended up 150 point more than i was suppose to, so i had to change my troops war gear. Anyways here it is:

HQ
Commander Dante -225 points

Librarian (epistolary) in terminator armour
Psychic powers: sanguine sword, unleash rage -175 points (count as troops because of Dante)

Elites
Sanguinary guard with chapter banner,
infernus pistol and a power fist -250 points

6 man Assault terminator squad with
two thunder hammers and storm shields -250 points

Sanguinary priest with terminator armour,
chalice of blood and a power sword -85 points

Furioso librarian (psychic powers:
The blood lance and Smite.) -175 points

Troops
13 death company with a hand flamer -270 points

10 man tactical squad with a flamer,
meltagun, missile launcher, sergeant
has a power fist and melta bombs -195 points

10 man tactical squad with a flamer,
meltagun, multi-melta, sergeant has
a power weapon and melta bombs -195 points

10 man assault squad with hand flamer(sergeant
has lightning claws and melta bombs) - 210 points

Dedicated Transport
Land Raider Redeemer with
Hunter-Killer Missile -250 points

Razorback -55 points

Razorback -55 points

Fast Attack
Scout bike squad
with locator beacon -95

The Librarian goes with the Assault terminators, as well as the sanguinary priest, Dante with the Sanguinary guard and the Chaplain with the Death company. The tactical squad use the Rhinos and The Assault terminators in the Land Raider. And the scout bikers will lay back and shoot then charge in when i can deep strike the Land Raider.

Comments and more tips are welcome.

These things slip my mind sometimes. Thanks for reminding me.
