Hey guys,
im feel since 6th im not really getting the most from my old 2k BA list (assault squads with meltas and powerfist ect) so im thinking on a revision and was looking for a little feedback. i wont go into points, its 2k give or take 10 points that can easily be sorted with wargear

HQ
gabe seth
termi reclusiarch

TROOPS
Assault Squad - x10, melta, serg with PW and SS
Assault Squad - x10, melta, serg with PW and SS

ELITE
Assault termi - x10 TH&SS
Sanguinary Priest - x2, 1 with jump pack, 1 basic
Sternguard - x10, combi plasma for all, drop pod

FAST
Land Speeder - x2, tornado pattern w/ x2 HF

HEAVY
Dev Squad - x4 ML, Rhino

running the HQ's with the term squad foot slogging with the basic priest as backup, stenguard drop in range for rapid fire combi plas upon disembark on a hairy enemy squad, Landspeeders get in ASAP and burn burn burn burn, changed from my powerfist sergs to the PW&SS to issue more challenges in combat to enemy characters (pref HQ choices) and (not necessarily kill but) survive, the jumps priest goes either within range of both of these or the most needing, devs do what devs do best..

any c&c welcome
thanks

1) Too few scoring bodies for 2K

2) MLs suck. By extension, BL devs suck. Don't use them.

3) MM attack bikes are way more fearsome than typhoon speeders, ESPECIALLY for BA

4) Combat squad the sternguard, give half meltas

5) Assault terminators on foot are going to be gunned down mercilessly

6) Marine HQs suck. Only use one per list unless its libbies.


This list basically doesn't participate much in the shooting phase after the sternguards have done their thing.That's a recipe for trouble in 6th.
