215 points to spare, what am I missing?

Watch out for Mephiston and Genestealers are very effective against BA, they will be afraid to assault them, and Doom is always quite scary against anything.

If you both have double HS slots, I can see him fielding 9 predators and maybe the same number again of razorbacks. Hope the boards got some cover or those trygons are going to get shredded on the way in.

The board does have lots of cover, yes. It's almost cities of death thick across the whole board.

I know for certain that there will be 4 landraiders and 2 stormravens, 2 vindicators, lots of death company, sanguinary guard, and thundernators. Lots of rhinos and other tanks.

We've got insane amounts of models, and I think the two largest collections at the club.

Not sure if this would help but have you considered replacing a HG with Doom (he will either be instantly shot up or eat everything near) and add a tyrannofex (high point cost but great range, armor, and bullet magnet)

Some kind of Fast Attack. Maybe some Gargoyles to act as a screen on the flyrant?

As a BA player, I would tell you to add some Zoanthropes (sp?). I think those are the guys with Shadow of the Warp? Making psycic tests on 3D6 is annoying to say the least.

add zonethropes

I've got 3 zopes in the list, and dont really want to add more.
With six trygons, six hive guard, 3 zopes and 3 other monsterous creatures, and genestealers, that should be sufficient anti tank.

Doom is a bust versus his army for the most part. Its all tanks and terminators.
More genestealers?
More devourer gants?

More genestealers. It depends on what type of BA he plays. If he goes mech, you seem to have that taken care of, if he goes jumper/DoA, you need something that can handle alot of PA and FNP. Tarpitting an assault squad with guants is a great way to make sure you get the charge. If he run a jumper, he'll have priests which grant FNP and Furious charge. Don't let him get the charge or let him charge a large unit of guants that are in synapse range. Then charge in with poisioned weapons.

I would consider looking at dropping the Hormagants to add another 30 strong termgant with devourers and then field another tervigon. That tervigon will be nice to cast additional FnP. Plus tervigon needs AG/TS
