Cant' take lascannon with 5 man tacs
Razorbacks can't move fast. Make them Rhinos

Give the Landspeeders MM/HF
Keep all the Rhinos together for classic BA rhino rush.

Also, make your HQ Corbulo, he can control the DC and drives everyone into bad ass mode

You can use the points saved from the Razorbacks to add a speeder or some other antitank.

Sorry for the choppy structure, I have one working arm right now.

Good Luck!

if i drop the lascannons and razorbacks is it worth upgrading the baal predators to annihlators? or finding 10 points to add 2 more landspeeders

Ok, The above list is fixed with corbulo instead of chap, and giving tac squad rhinos ditching their lascannons and bumping both squads up to 10 marines

If you can find the points from somewhere (maybe dropping some landspeeders) I'd give every squad a powerfist for the chance to take out vehicles in combat if your melta fails. Also some weapon upgrades on the assault squad would be handy.

Versatility is key, odd coming from an eldar player i know.

EDIT: typo

i dont upgrade the assault marines cause personally i hate plasma pistols lol...i agree though.. i was thinking dropping a landspeeder to give both squads their lascannons back and upgrading the p weapons to fists.. and combat squading if need be

I think it killer now, tons of fast rhinos, speeders and Baal Preds, FAST!!!

Keep the preds stock and remember how ramming with armor 13, after traveling 18", will ruin someones day!

18"=+6
Tank=+1
Armor 13=+3

STR 10 Hit!!!

Ok Here is my revised List.. dropped Death Company to 5 with corbulo.. gave both tac squads power fists, and gave 1 tac squad a multi melta with the 10 points i had left over, Also swapped 1 assault squad for a power weapon, melta heavy vet assault squad.

I guess you're losing a couple bodies but getting a lot more attacks from the VAS.

I hope you're using the MM speeders. Instead of the MM in the tac squad, you could add heavy flamers to some of your speeders for some much needed anti-horde.

Maybe lose the fists on the tac squads, you've already got more than a few of those, the heavy flamers really are great.

I see what ur saying about anti horde.. especially w the new nids dex out...sooo.. dropped a speeder to give em all heavy flamers, dropped vet squad to take a terminator squad.. dropped both preds for a landraider figure its about an even swap overall.. roughly speaking.. also had points to keep multi melta in squad as well as add another 1 to other squad..debating on missile launchers instead though for template towards more horde armies also had points to add in another death company

I think your last list was better. LR is a ton of points, and so are the terminators, and with all the anti-tank in many, lists it will go down fast and the termies will be stranded.

With the VAS and the Baals there are a ton of vehicles that have a similar threat level so you can just roll together and if one or two fall, no big deal.

Those heavy flamers will ruin hordes, they're plenty, two templates on a mob of boyz or a swarm, and they will be seriously gutted.

It was less of a one trick pony list.

I am a stalwart opponent of the Land Raider, especially only one.

Any more thoughts on it?

Awesome! When is the tourney? Let me know how it goes.
Good Luck!

Tournament is February 6th.. Im going to get a few playtests in today though hopefully.. Ill definitely let ya know how it fares.

Correct me if I am wrong, but you lose the jump packs by putting assault squads in rhinos correct? If so, why pay the points and take them over a tac squad?

I think the Land Speeders are a particularly good choice with this army. Mobile MM/HF gives you a lot of versatility. This army is definitely designed to be mobile and will give enemies a challenge to keep up with your ability to speed around to claim/contest objectives.

My only concern is that you have a lot of Melta Guns, possibly to the point that it is overkill. I'm not sure, if you expect to go up against a lot of tanks, then it is useful, but if that's true then maybe a single Lascannon or two in the TAC squads would be a nice complement to the Meltas with the Speeders and Veterans.

If you give up the jump packs you get a free rhino, which is a Fast Tank, and you keep the two CC weapons that give you an extra attack.

Sweet, Feb 6th, keep us posted

well i dont wanna waste points on heavy weapons in my squads because i wanna keep em moving so lascannon will hardly get fired...secondly yes i have a lot of multi meltas...but i also have the option of firing the heavy flamers on the landspeeders over the multi melta...i played a game other night.. and it went pretty well ended up being a tie.. but the guy made a ridiculous amount of terminator invuln saves...was running 3 squads of termies...only thing im thinkin of changing right now is dropping 1 speeder to buff up the death company to 7

After my first play test game i realised the Death Company were a bit small...dropped to 4 speeders... 60 points to 2 more death company.. 15 floating.. dropped the vet assault squad to 7 marines from 8.. 40 points i tossed lascannons into the tactical squads..figure it isnt a horrible idea afterall and gives me more options with my squads. Starting to agree with alamoth that they would be a nice compliment to the multi meltas in the army.. so overall.. 4 multi meltas, 4 melta guns, 2 lascannons, and 2 twinlinked assault cannons.. thats more then enough to pop any armor that gets in my way. Thanks for all the advice everyone .. Ill keep yas posted thus far.

I personally don't like power fists as they strike last but it is your choice, other than that it seems pretty good.
