Ok so here is my planned BA list, tactics and what I might add
Btw I don't have a codex on me so could someone please add this up thank you.
HQ:
Librarian w/ jumppack and epistolary
Elites:
5x Sternguard w/ 3x meltas 2x combi plasma
Brother Corbulo
Razorback twinkinked lascannons
Fast attack:
Baal predator w/ flamestorm cannon and sposon heavy flamers
Troops:
10x Assault marines 2x meltaguns powerfist
Sang priest w/ jumppack
5x Asaault marines meltagun power sword
10x Tactical marines plasma gun rocket launcher power sword
W/ Rhino and sang priest
Tactics:
Libby goes with 10 man assault squad and go in reserve. The 5 man goes in reserve. Baal pred goes in reserve. Sternguard and corbulo sit in the razorback. Tacmarines sit in rhino while sang priest follows behind it. Libby can take either prescience and another divination power or unleash rage, shield of sanguinius or some other cool power. Everything moves up first turn no disembarking.
Turn 2 (assuming everything comes on) Libby squad come down next to biggest infantry threat or most fortified objective. 5 man goes a decent amount far away to draw off fire but still be a threat. Baal pred comes on and buurrnnsss. Sternguard get out and shoot stuff. Tacsquad gets out joined by the priest and fires. Corbulo tanks for sternguard. Things will get shot but that's why priests/transports are there. There will be too many things too shoot at and I will have survived with most precautions made against combat and shooty armies while they would have also taken damage from my firepower. Take objectives from weakened enemies or table the opponent.
What I want to add:
Stormraven
Captain Tycho
Another 5 assault marines
One or two Furioso dreadnoughts
1-3 Dropods
Possibly sang guard
That's it, any advice guys?

Dont ever assume everything comes on... Everyone has a plan, until they start rolling dice Automatically Appended Next Post: Definitely boost that 5 man assault squad to 10. Definitely add a stormraven (possibly best flyer in the game). I would drop corbolo and use a regular preist to save pts.

Definitely what RIGLER705 said. Also, you need more assault marines; as in 10-15 more. Also.. Corbulo isn't the best points spent to be in sterngaurd. You can get 2 regular Sang. Priest for his points. Remember that only 10 models can fit in a Rhino. If you take Razorbacks, take them for assault marines. BA transports are a tad expensive for anyone but assault marines.

Don't reserve anything. Your plan piecemeals your army for you opponent to take apart bit by bit.

Corbulo is useful as he can stand at the front of a squad and take a lot of shooting with his 2+ FNP.
I'd add
Dread with a fragcannon and flamer in a drop pod.
Nothing says leave that adl alone than 3 flamer templates. Cos AV 13 probably isn't going down to the quad gun.
It's a nasty unit against anything not in PA.

However, firing ordinance at someone isn't nearly as threatening as firing ordnance at someone.
Ordinance is a local law, or bill, or other form of legislation.
Ordnance is high caliber explosives.
No 'I' in ordnance.
Don't drown the enemy in legislation, drown them in explosives. |

Fragnoughts are nasty even against meqs. They just aren't good against guys in metal bawkses.
