Got back into the gaming side of things again now a few friends are back into it, so i decided i want to make sure im not going to get flooded.
I have nids and daemons, but while they are fun to use, i want to get my BA's playing again.

So, since all 3 play orks, i figured i could get away with tayloring a list to go with it.

Now, rather than sitting back and shooting, i wanted to worry them and go all out assault against them, while not a huge strong point, i figure it will work to some degree.

Main things ill be seeing: a few dreads and kanz, 1 will be taking a wagon, nobz, koptas and alot of 30 mob units.


So, moving on:



Astaroth - 220
Librarian: Jump pack - 125

Chaplain: fist, pack - 140
Chaplain: fist - 115

Sanguinary priest: Meltabombs, power weapon - 70
Sanguinary priest: Meltabombs, power weapon - 70
Sanguinary priest: Meltabombs, power weapon - 70

10 Assault marines: flamer x2, fist - 225 (priest + librarian)
10 Assault marines: flamer x2, fist - 225 (priest + chappy)
10 Assault marines: flamer x2, fist - 225 (astaroth + priest)
8 assault marines: meltabombs - 159
9 death company: hand flamer, power wep - 205 (chappy)
Rhino - 50

1,999 (i think, been changing it too much though, so may be a tad off in places)

Not the most models, but half should get the benefit from astaroth if im lucky.
Nearly every unit has FNP.
The chappy's and astaroth keep thier units going while the libby helps boost another unit.
May have to assault mobs with 2 units at a time, but it shouldnt be too bad i hope.
C&C wanted please.

Well, the army is too 'leader' heavy.

I'd simply take a Reclusiarch with jump packs.
The smaller Assault squad is pointless, as are melta bombs vs Orks.

Libby is for S10 attacks.
Meltabombs are again for more anti-tank.

I know 1 player is using just a wagon so its a waste, but the other is moving towards 9 kanz and 2 dreads (plus buggies etc)

So want to make sure i can kill them off.



Failing that, i could allways get rid off a sang priest and his unit to replace them with another rhino mounted DC unit. (should hit harder than assault marines)





Also, something i wanted to check:

All BA jump packs give the descent of angels rule.
Does this affect vanguard with heroic intervention?

(ie: Drop and scatter 1D6, then be able to assault)

In fact, all Marines with jump packs benefit from the DoA rule.
Please check the jump pack entry in the BA codex.

Thats what i said
Was making sure it was possible to get use from both rules.

This makes VV a viable option in a DoA army.
