Cover the 'backs with the preds, shoot stuff. Feels like its missing something though, I just cant place it =(
I'll have a little think and see if I cant come up with something better.

Why are you taking infernus pistols in the assault squads? Take meltaguns instead and have 10 extra points for 2 more flamers.

Because they are 5 man squads, I'll edit that in.

Is their anything that can be said about this?
I would personally like more dakka on the normal Preds, but you could only achieve that by dropping something (probably Mephiston for a standard Librarian)

Yeah, I only took the preds for armor saturation and as moving cover for the lasplas, that no-one wants to shoot, because they arent really very scary. Then they might even be alive late game so they can contest objectives or something.

That's a pretty good list. The principle of duality is perfectly implemented by the Razorback units.

Also mephiston might not be the way to go, if you drop him you could take a libby and 3 Sang priests. Mep isn't a IC and the second you put him on the board he will be shot with everything. Sure thats stuff not hitting your razors but, is 250 worth it for that? IMO its not.

There are 12 vehicles to hide behind on the board. Mephiston will be well hidden.
So you found out where BA razorspam stumbles. They get great troops choices but can't effectively fill out all the other slots. I would substitute the preds with rifleman dreads. Those preds really are too expensive for ONE autocannon.

Riflemen dreads are 55 points more though aren't they.

Its a problem all mech BA lists have, only the troops slot shines, everything else is too expensive =(

Not quite so much, BA preds are fast and thus more expensive. Riflemen are still more expensive.

My friend plays vindicators in they heavy support slot as they still get the fast vech type also i recommend flamestorm cannons on your baals they work well with the vindicators to punch a hole through everything they hit also they reach into cover where the vindicators fall short this gives your razorbacks more room to go where needed and to reinforce the line
but whatever your choice hope it works well
oh btw a normal cheap liby and sang priest gets my vote those guys saved my friend no end
