I'm thinking of starting up a detachment of BA in the future (I plan on playing it on vassal for the time being). I was wondering if this was a decent list for 1k points.

Reclusiarch, Jump pack, combi-melta- 165

10 assault marines, 1 melta gun- 200
10 assault marines, 1 melta gun- 200
5 tac marines- 90

5 sanguinary guard- 200
1 sanguinary priest, jump pack, combi-melta-85

Land speeder, multi melta-60

1000


Thanks for any C&C.

i dont see much use for the 5 random tacs i would drop them for another sang priest with jump pack and some more edquipment on your assault marines or sang guard

I love reclusiarch but you're better off taking a libby, only take a rec or chappie if you're taking DC because you usually get the bonus of hits and wounds on the first assault because they'll kill what they attack where assault marines probably won't, even with the re roll to hit, guard and priests are great, especially together but agree i don't see any real use for the 5 tacs, are they objective camping because scouts do that better, and they'll be totally left behind by everything else anyway, drop the tac for just about anything else

try getting another bumper car more melta guns for your assault marines and and some other upgrades or like atlasplug said some scouts and give them snipers, camo cloaks,etc as they are longer ranged and more survivable
