First army ive built. its designed to hit and run.

HQ
Dante 225pts

Elites
Sanguinary Priests- jumppacks 225pts

Troops
3x Assuslt Marine Squad- x2 meltaguns 630pts
Sanguinary Squad- chapter banner 230pts

Fast Attack
x2 Baal Predators- extra armor, heavy bolters 320pts

Heavy Support
x3 Devastator Squad- 2 multimeltas, x2 missle launchers

Dante will go with Sang Guard and sit on objective. Predators just go out and cause as much mayhem as possible. Priests go with Assualt Squads and jump aroubd hitting the enemy as needed. Devastator Squads cover AS as needed.

Meant to add this and forgot. Total pts is 2020 if my math is correct. My friends and I play with a 30pt buffer. Any advice would be great

Putting dante and the guard on objective duty is a total waste of 500+ points. Rather put the priest with them and get them into combat. With those points you could get 20 assault marines and a libby on JP. i would suggest that. Also, kit your devastators with one weapon type. Don't mix them up. That usually means wasted shots if different range weapons. Also three dev squads is too much.

Alright. ill do 1 squad ml and 1 mm. drop the 3rd squad. what should i add with the extra pts?

Drop a Baal and get 3 MM attack bikes in the fast attack. I think I recommend MM attack bikes for literally every BA build. They are too good against things we hate to not be in every list. With FNP, they are beastly.

Having Dante and a S-Guard unit sit on an objective is a waste of points and unit ability. You're having 400 + points just camp about. Why not just take a unit of Scouts for 70 points and camp on the objective and cost you a lot less points?

Problem this list has is only two armoured units, these will become victim to target priority and die. I suggest you ditch them and go an all infantry theme.

The heavy weaps in the Dev units should all match as well, no point having multi melta at 24" and then missile launchers are double range.

You could grab a Stormraven with some reworking. 130 for the Dev squad right? 2 Priests can easily cover 4 squads, so drop the third.

Are stormravens worth the points? What should i outfit it with?

Stormravens are another 6th edition tax. You need the anti-air, but you are paying for transport capability that frankly is insane to use. Not only are you now reserving 350 pts minimum, they instagib if your AV 12 HP 3 flier gets gunned down. The Vendetta is so much more efficient it's unbelievable. It's a legitimate comparison, because that's what you will be facing. (Potentially)

I'm a fan of the Stormraven, just use any of the free changes. Most go assault cannon, multi-melta. Nothing wrong with not transporting anything in it.

Other option would be another SG unit.
