I'm restarting my BA and just finished assembling quite a few models. (As a matter of fact, It would be fun to do a blog...)

Anyways, here is a list I was thinking of running, tell me what you think.

Astorath (to run with DC)- 220

Sanguinary Guard 210
-power fist

2 sanguinary priests (to run with assault squads)- 100

10 Death Company -270
-bolters, powerfist, thunderhammer, infernus pistol

Assault Squad 230
jumppacks, melta, flamer, power weapon, plasma pistol

Assault Squad 230
backpacks, same as above

DC rhino 50

Assault marine rhino 15

Grand total of 1325... What Anti-tank can I put in? A pred, baal pred, vindicator, dreadnought...?

Any thoughts appreciated.

Thanks

dont mean to burst your bubble but this list wouldn't do to hot

you have scattered units and only one of each

try having a focus first on what type of army your ba are going to be

restarting is hard ive already restarted my ba 3 three painstaking times but try to have a focus first otherwise your going to realize you need to shelf a couple things

Astoragath and the DC are for special occasions only.

Rhino needs to be put with other tanks to survive.

So if you want jump packers go for a few squads with meltas, an honour guard with meltas. If you want you can add three dev. squads to this list. One unit of guard is nice as you sometimes need some cc hard hitters, I would though go for some venguard to be your actual cc hard hitters that is powerweapons have low strength.

If you want to use the rhino, especially as it has DC in, you will need to give lots of tanks to support it.

Thanks for the input guys.

I know I'm kind of a mix between DoA and mechbut just can't decide which way I would want to go. I am leaning towards mech at this point, but my main problem is money, being a broke college student and all. I can afford a model or so a month, and have no qualms about spending it on vehicles over infantry. My main monetary concern is that I've spent $66 on a JP assault squad. Will there legitimately be no space in my mech army for one out-of-rhino squad? Any ideas or critiques on that idea are very appreciated because I would like to not have to buy moar marines unnecessarily!

Thanks!
