1500 Points exactly. Lemartes is going to be with Death Company, Attack Bikes are there to run around and kill tanks. The Tac Squad will either be rushing to capture objectives, or tank hunting. The only thing I'm not happy about with this list is the Veteran Assault Squad that isn't filled out with troops, but I'm not sure what to put in its place, if anything.

Thanks in advance

The assault marine footsloggers might have issues because you don't have enough vehicles to give them mobile cover/block LOS. Perhaps dropping one assault squad for a second tactical in a rhino would be enough to give you enough mobile cover to allow the 2 assault squads, vets, and death co to get to CC.

The Assault Squads come with Jump Packs standard, so they're not true "footsloggers" I would say.

While that is true that they are not exactly footsloggers, they still are open to enemy fire. Those squads are not so tough that one should allow them to be so easily targeted. Either way, just my 2c, GL!

i like BA lists i want to do one bad


i think you should put PF in your assualt squads and try to find a way to make your death comp bigger!


=))

All the power weapons should be switched out for power fists. I would drop the jump packs in one assault squad for a rhino. If you are going to take VAS they should have a meltagun and at least one power fist. Baals a great choice for BA armies in general.

I tend to favor VAS over RAS, because even though RAS are troop options the VAS have 1 attack more for 10 points more a squad. You still get the DC marine, so no worries there, it just means that the troops role falls to tactical marines only. (No troop-filling scouts for us BA guys...)

DC squad definitely needs to be bigger, IMO. I always take at least 6, preferrably 7-9. 9 is usually the max, though, because I want the chappy to go with them in a rhino. Since you have jump packs, this isn't as much of a consideration, so a full 10 would be ok.

It also seems that you don't have much anti-tank capability. I wouldn't like to have to rely on two bikes for the bulk of my anti-armor capacity. A devastator squad would be ok, or a couple of predator tanks with the Lascannons.

I know, I know, all I have done is suggest more stuff you don't have points for. Looks like the only things you can cut to make the points are assault squads, which will leave you with few scoring units. So you can take my opinions with a grain of salt.
