HEAVY:

Land raider - 250
Land raider crusader - 250
Baal Preadator: heavy bolter sponsons - 125

2,000 Points exact.

The CC termies ride with the libby in the crusader and the basic termies ride in the normal raider.
Not sure how the CC termies will be kitted out just yet, allthough im leaning towards claws for the extra attacks, allthough that means i lose anti-tank.
All units are highly mobile, with 4 scoring units they should do fine, even if they are 5 man units.


Edit: Removed the DC as they didnt fit the list well enough.
Points saved from them upgraded the pred to a baal, 2 TL las on the backs and pintle storms to use up the last 20 points.


Lost my old BA army when i moved, so decided its time to rebuild it.
Need C&C please.

Any C&C?

You do realize that you get 6 FREE DC marines? May as well leave them in there, at least as a fire-soak unit.

You're paying for them anyway, may as well put them in.

Wouldn't be BA without Death Company.

Why not just play normal marines? Nothing about this list apart from the Baal Predator says Blood Angels. It looks like far too few models, how do you really expect to do damage? An opposing 2k list will most likely heavily outnumber you.

I really think you need to rework it, and by all means add the Death Company.

Yeah, the army gets 6 DC Marines for free.
You could give them a ride in the Land Raider, while the shooty Termies could take a walk joined by the Librarian.

Death company: why would i want to add them to the list?
A unit tht small without transport is far too fragile.
so a rhino would push the points cost up quite a bit to start with.
I would also then need a chappy with them, making them another 100+ points.

Phoenix: In theory they are free, but the extras needed to make them playable are pretty expensive.

Dogster: With BA i can change the list if and when needed, im also not going near that characters book they call a codex
+ i love the BA colours, and i have allways collected them.

wuesten: The libby has only got the BA magic tracks, which hardly help the unit alot
Idea of him being with the CC termies was because he adds a pretty nasty punch in combat against pretty much anything.


I may chance the list about a bit and remove a unit of termies.

Heres my thinking.

Remove libby - 145 saved
Remove termie squad - 200 saved
Drop the tl las from the backs - 60 saved
dropped 2 meltabombs - 10 saved

415 total saved.


Mephiston - 225
Chappy - 100
5 Death Company - free
3 Death company purchased - 90

Would give me a fairly decent CC unit that could handle themselves.
Just a shame meph cant control the DC on his own.

I agree, its a shame that mephiston can't reign in DC. If he could, that would actually make his points-cost more justifiable. I am glad you decided to go with the DC, though... for me they are one of the best parts of playing BA.

Dont know much about BA but by the looks of it 'nids and orks would massacre your first list

Yeah... they wouldn't. Go read the codex, its free from GW's web site.

Please try to keep your posts contributory to the topic, if you will.

Only problem was my list before was taylored more towards ranged than combat, allthough now this unit should fare pretty well.

Not really sure why ive added mephiston, more than likely due to the fact i love the model and his rules / stats are some of the best for any marine (feth you calgar!)

not only that, but if a rogue fex is out of synapse im sure his 6-8 attacks on the charge (with a force wep) will do the job.

The most Un-BA thing to do...
