Hi guys,

I put this list together as my first attempt at a take-all comers local tourney list. I haven't played a whole lot, but I think this list is a decent, fluffy list that still stands a chance against most armies (I don't know how crazy competitive my local meta is... hopefully not as terrible as some of the regular posters here )

Baal Strike Force - 1850 pt

HQ

Sanguinary Priest - Warlord (60 pts)
Librarian - ML2, jump pack, Gallian's Staff (115 pts)

TROOPS

5 man Tactical Squad - plasma gun, combi-plas on Sgt, dedicated transport = Las-plas Razorback (180)
5 man Tactical Squad - heavy flamer, hand flamer/power sword on Sgt, dedicated transport = Rhino (150)

ELITES

7 man Sanguinary Guard - chapter banner, 4x PS, 1x PA, 1x plasma pistol/PS, 1x plasma pistol/PF (286)
8 man Death Company - jump packs, 7 x bolt pistol/chainsword, 1 x boltgun/PF (209)
5 man Assault Terminators - 3x TH/SS, 2x LC (215)
Furioso Dreadnought - DCCW/meltagun, DCCW/heavy flamer, magna grapple (135)

HEAVY SUPPORT

Stormraven - TLAC, TLMM (200)
Vindicator - overcharged engines, siege shield, PMSB (145)
Predator - TLLC, lascannon sponsons, overcharged engines, PMSB (155)

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

Dread needs a pod.

Are the terminators in the sr?

I was going to put both the Termies and Furioso in the stormraven, and drop them off right where I need them to do some damage. Sanguinary Priest is with the Termies for the FNP and +1 WS buffs, Librarian with the Sanguinary Guard to buff them (maybe with an invul if I get lucky)

It really depends on your meta. It's a casual list at the moment - some shooting, some assault, with a huge chunk of your army coming in from reserves (and not being able to assault until turn 3 at the earliest).
Generally these kind of lists can be taken apart piecemeal with more focused lists.

If your playing against other casual lists from under performing codexes, you'll be ok. If playing against focused lists, or from the better codexes, you'll struggle.

I'd recommend a bit more focus in your list, try to keep your forces together, and not to have that huge Stormraven reserves points sink

Reserves are the devil.

Yeah, these are some fair points... I love the Stormraven from a fluff standpoint but I have definitely had some games where the things fails to show up until it's too late to have a meaningful impact (always carrying lots of stuff). For an army with a lot of emphasis on fast, in your face assaulting it's sort of sad how hard of a time we have doing it... I wish we had some help with assulting from deep strike/rolling for reserves on turn 1 like the Raven Guard gets currently.

Anyway, I reworked the list a little and decided to go with a CAD instead... I took the Baal Strike Force mainly for the 4th elies choice anyway, but Obj. Sec. seems too good to pass up on. Here's my new list idea:

HQ

Sanguinary Priest - Warlord (60)

TROOPS

5 man Tac. Squad - HF and hand flamer/PS on sgt, in a las/plas Razorback (190)
5 man Tac. Squad - PG and combi-plas on sgt, in a Rhino (140)
5 man Tac. Squad - MG, in a Rhino (125)
5 Scouts - sniper rifles (60)

ELITES

6 man Death Company - jump packs, 5x BP/CS, 1x BP/PS (153)
6 man Death Company - jump packs, 5x BP/CS, 1x BP/PS (153)
8 man Sanguinary Guard - 4x PS, 1x PS/PP, 1x PA, 1x PF/PP, Chapter Banner (319)

FAST ATTACK

2x Land Speeders - dual MM (160)

HEAVY SUPPORT

1x Vindicator - overcharged engines, siege shield, PMSB (145)
1x Predator - tri-las variety, overcharged engines (150)
1x Relic Sicaran Battle Tank - armoured ceramite, lascannon sponsons, (195)

Still some good shooting, all vehicles are fast, all jump units start on table and advance with vehicles, and I would deep strike in the land speeders to take out a high priority target later in the game. Objectivr secured on 7 things should help too. Is this a little better?

Lose all the vindi and predator and get more dudes. Or a drop fragnought. The drop frag will kill more in one turn than a pred does all game.

Vindicators are just bad. Even the fast ones.

Honestly, I wouldn't even use the Sicaran. Tanks are just awful in 7th.

I agree I would drop the armor. Change the land speeders for Assault Squads in a DP with 2 Meltas.

Give the priest a jump pack and stick him with the SG for FnP.

Change the PS on the Death Company to PFs and Bolters giving them the ability to hit anything is useful.

If you add a Frag Furioso in a pod your getting 2 pods guaranteed turn 1 for some anti armor and getting a stuck in unit with those templates.

Possibly add a bike squad with 2 grav. If you do that put the priest on a bike and take a loaded captain for combat and stick him in the squad. Gives you a tough little death star unit. Sure they won't be as good as others but they have some good potential.

Even a captain with a JP loaded for combat with the SG and Priest would probably be decent.

If you are using a captain, make him a biker captain with stormshield, power fist with a priest.
