Where are you getting the point value for the stormraven in the BT codex?

I'm assuming it's from the new Flyer book that was released by GW for online order only on Saturday which introduces the Stormraven to Black Templars as a usable Flyer. I haven't seen the book myself though so I couldn't confirm it. 205 points is how much a vanilla Stormraven cost for Grey Knights though if I recall correctly.

That's how much it costs now for GK. Its 200 for blood angels. But that book is updating its rules for both codexes so I was wondering where he got the points from as the book is not out till next week. Also what do stormstrike missiles do?

No idea. From the name i'd assume they were some sort of vehicle busting Haywire missile.

I'm going off the points from the GK Storm Raven, any thoughts on the list itself?

Well given the stormraven rules are being updated for BA and GK and the fact it won't have psychic pilot that seems a rash decision. I can't help you without the rules for using the SR in a BT list.

You're gonna be lean on troops (aren't we always?), but otherwise it seems fairly balanced.

I would drop one of the Predators, add an ADL with quad-gun (put the tank hunting termies on it to support your stormraven) and add some bodies to your crusader squads with the leftover points.

I went more "Deathstar" with my list, check it out:

Thanks for the advice! I like that idea a lot! Although, I really like my Predators, should I drop the two typhoons for the ADL and the boosted numbers instead?
