I want to know if this list is competitive and if it is better than the DOA list for the same cost. The Libby goes with the termi squad of course and i deploy them (if possible) all together. Any comment will be grateful.thx

Wouldn't the 3 land raiders count towards your Heavy Support choices?

Land Raiders can only be taken as Dedicated Transports in the BA codex. According to the fluff in the book, the chapter has many more Land Raiders than Predators and Baal Predators combined.

As for the posted list, I personally have a strong prejudice against Stormravens that aren't fully loaded with nasty cargo. I also really don't get the point of having so many Land Raiders with so little that's actually scary inside them. It'll give unprepared opponents fits, and probably get some people to hate you, but there are so many Meltaguns running around these days that I wouldn't count on them surviving for the whole game, while their cargo (the one squad of Termies excepted) won't scare anyone.

I also think the Baals should keep the Assault Cannons. You're light on anti-vehicle weapons in my opinion, at least for 2500.

I'd personally rather have Blood Talons on the Dreads too. The Flamestorms will take care of hordes but they aren't sturdy enough to make me comfortable. I'd much rather have regular Baals for anti-transport work and let BT Dreads take care of hordes.

thx to mr economics for his dedication to the BA. I know there's not much in the Land raider that is scary but it's a mech list. I don't like the autocannon it do nothing when i play them on the Baal and the point of this list is to have 9 Flamestorm on the field and I play mostly against hordes of space marines or imperial guards. But I think the talon on the dreadnought is good, I have try them on the DC dread and it's a meat grinder. If the stormraven are not fully loaded they probably last longer considering they are not the biggest threat on the field. And again thanx for your time.
