Just picked up the 6th edition RB today, and I'm deciding to get back into the game! Woo, anyways just scraped this list together real fast without too much thought into it to take advantage of a few things.

-Hammer of wrath
-Sniper special rule
-Biomancy
-all around capabilities

I haven't made a list or played a game in almost a year now so bear with me as this list is a clean slate to build my all comers BA army. Advice and comments would be appreciated. Also I will explain my reasoning behind any of this should it seem "weak" or "bad" in your opinion.


--/[*troops*]\-- 565

-10man Assault squad - [230] 2 meltaguns, lighting claw, melta bombs
-10man Assault squad - [235] 2 flamers, lightning claw, melta bombs, infernus pistol
-5 man scout squad - [100] camo cloaks, ML, 4 snipers

--/[*elites*]\-- 150

-1 Sang Priest - [75] jump pack
-1 Sang Priest - [75] jump pack

--/[*fast attack*]\-- 325

-1 Attack bike - [50] multi melta
-1 Attack bike - [50] multi melta
-1 Bike Squadron - [225] 6 bikes, 2 with PGs, 2 base, 1 attack bike with HB, sarg with PW

--/[*Heavy Support*]\-- 180

-devastators - [180] 4 RL, 2 base, storm bolter, sarg PW

--/[*Headquarters*]\-- 175

-1 Epistolary - [175] jump pack, Biomancy+divination, Biomancy+telepathy when playing low ld armies

--/[*Fortifications*]\-- 100

-aegis defense line - [100] quad-gun


TOTAL - {1495}

where should I put the last 5 points? melta bombs? on what unit?


Opinions are greatly appreciated so I can finalize this list and get to building!

Im just an IG player but i see a distinct lack of template in ur army, i only see those flamers and ( dunno what a biomancy disk is) A high volume army like IG, Tyranids or orks is gunna soak that up no problem. then take away lost hits, coversaves and their losses arent gunna be as much as you could field (except for those jump inf in CC.... god i hate those so that means you should love them) this list looks like mostly anti armour and anti heavy inf ( with the jump inf CC to mop up) so just to summarize... you should get more blast.

What kind of template? More flamers? Some heavy support?

-whirlwinds?
-devs?

Those attack bikes are EZ pickens for First Blood! You also have no flyers or anti-air.

The x2 attack bikes alone could pay for an Aegis Defence Line and Quad gun. You could even put your scouts here to man it or combat squad a jumper to man the gun.

I really like Blood Angel Storm Ravens. They are great anti-air units but I think at 1500pts you can live without it somewhat if you can get those big blocks of jumpers into assault and stick for a turn or two.

Whirlwinds sound good, i forgot what their missile strength and blast radius was, but a couple more flamers sounds good BA being good CC like all Sm are

Aegis defense lines look sick! Definitely looking into acquiring one of those.

My bikes will most likely start in reserve.

definitely looking into templates as well

As for the molding of the list I will update it in about 10 mins. (gunna repost new list in a bit)

List updated please continue to help me mold it thanks

Strip the priests, LC for them is a waste, you want them for the FNP not in combat.

I would drop the PF on the sargs for a Power Sword and mb if you still want the ability to handle tanks and be good in combat.

I would also drop the whirlwind and the extra techmarine/sang priest for a Dev's squad, and place them with the quad gun as well for a good firebase.

ML devs or PC devs?

Matter of local players...
MLs = Good All-arounders
Lascannon = lots of high AV
HBs = for Horde/Low toughness/AP armies

I would go for MLs and adjust accordingly.
