Let me know what you guys think

Looks good are you going to try to keep the priests close to the troops? I think it might be hard to keep them close to the 6' range to get the FnP and if you do you're going to be vunerable to blast weapons.

What AV do the Storm ravens have? I should look up them in the BA codex but you could try preds and maybe get another priest.

Are your 2 dreadnoughts going to be walking around? I'm not sure how the furiouso will do walking around it might get blasted on its way to the troops.

I'll have to say I am not an expert on BA but I'll say I'm giving my own opinion because no one else has.

Well both Dreads are going to be dragged around by the Stormravens since they're allowed to transport a dread and a seperate unit. The power armor priest goes where he's needed most. Basically just there to help keep the assault marines alive from shooting. Thanks for the questions and feedback.

Well from my experience vs assault priests they do give your troops a lot of survivability to shooting but if you have it not attached to a squad it's easy to focus fire on and then you lose your FnP. I'd try to move some points to get another priest within your army so you have another 6' FnP / FC zone but thats what I've seen being effective vs my Space Wolves. However since you have them in razorbacks it does give them a nice shell yet less movement per turn.

I'm not too familiar with Death Company, are they really worth it?

My 2 cents. I bet you'll do well enough Hulksmash.

They are there pretty much cause I needed 5 to get my Death Company Dreadnought. They are also pretty nasty in general but I'm not really expecting huge things out of them. My thoughts are pretty much armor saturation that even guard at 2500 will have trouble popping. And if I don't go first against guard then I reserve my Stormravens and either a) deepstrike them or b) enter on my table edge and move all out (this depends on the deployment zones).

Seems like a good idea.


Last question because it seems like you are more versed then I. No sarcasm intended.

Last thing.. Vindicator. Is it necessary? From what I've seen not many people like having just one in an army because they only really have the one gun and if its destroyed then it's really not doing anything except many tank shocking or providing cover for one side or the other.

You could remove it and field another dreadnought FoC allowing it. Or maybe a predator so it has more weapons or something else to fill the slot.
