So i literally want to Deep strike everything.

HQ:
Mephiston (In the Storm Raven)
Elite:
Corbulo (Goes with the Crusader Squad)
Troop:
10x Assault marines w/ 2x Plasma, Power weapon
10x Assault marines w/ 2x Flamer, Thunder Hammer (All in a Land Raider Crusader)
10x Assault marines w/ 2x Melta (In a Drop pod w/ Locator beacon)
Fast:
Nothing
Heavy:
Predator w/ Full Las layout
Storm Raven w/ AC, Multi-Melta, Hurricane

Now my Question is cause im not 100% on the 50% rules.
but what do i need to do to make it so mephiston can start in the Raven, Corbulo with the Flamer Assault squad in the Crusader to Deep strike?
or does this fit the ruling?

Mephiston is free to start in the Raven. Its a heavy support choice and not a dedicated transport so you can stick whatever you want legally in it. Granted Mephiston's only possible company in the Raven would be dreadnought.

Alright so i think i've figured out how im going to do this.

1st combat squad the Melta gun squad and put half in a drop pod and start the other half on the field
predator starts on.
and the 10 man plasma squad starts on.

now Mephiston in the raven
fragnought in his drop pod
and the flamer squad + corbulo in a Deep striking Land raider
the melta gun half of the assault squad in a drop pod.

Why reserve Mephiston? What if you want to wreck some drop pod grey hunters turn 1?

The Stormraven: causing bad lists since 6th edition came out. The Stormraven would be 100% better if it were 35 pts cheaper can carried nothing.

Deep striking land raiders is dangerous business; and even if you can mitigate that with homers or beacons, it still isn't typically a good tactical decision.

Aside from that, I think you actually have a larger problem. As a tournament list, this doesn't look very strong. You're kinda going for the alpha strike but there are so many armies and lists that do it better, even blood angels can do it better from within your own codex.

Death Company are probably the only thing in your codex that got better in 6th edition. Are you against incorporating them?

Mephy used to be a beast among beasts but now he's only AP3. Only you know your meta, but what happens when you run into Driagowing, or Deathwing or Loganwing? I'll grant you those lists were all more popular in 5th, but they're still out there. Even lists not totally dedicated to terminator armor bring plenty of 2+ saves these days with the helldrakes flying about.

What I'm getting at is, let's rework this list. You can still build a nice, fun Deathstar to put in the raven+raider if you want. You can still incorporate a lot of the same things. I just think we need to shuffle this up a bit if you hope to be competitive.

Let us know what models you have and I'm sure we can whip this into shape together.

BA DC did get better, but they still have deployment problems in 6th, imo.

BA bikes got much better as well because of FNP rules.

So this is what i have to work with:
4x Attack bikes
3-4 Rhinos
2 Predators
1 Baal
1 Vindi
1 Normal drop pod
1 Dread Drop pod
up to about 30 Dco with mixtures in weapons (some bolters, most pistol chainsword and then some weapons and Power weapons / Thunder hammers n such)
enough tacticals for like 4 full squads
enough Assault for 3 full squads
2 Dco Dreads
a Fragnought
mephy
lemartes
1x 5 man Sang Guard
Dante
Sanguinor (i'd kill myself before playing this dude)
3/4 Priests none on bikes sadly some with Detachable Jump packs
Corbulo.
Storm Raven.
there is like 2 Heavy support dreads too but i don't ever see myself using them...

Alright so i decided for a list where i was planning on running what i enjoyed more then trying to make a really comp list as here are some of the lists i will be vsing which i have like no chance against:

-The flying circus: 5 flying Princes and 3 smaller daemon squads
-Chaos flyer spam w/ Necron ally flyer spam
- New elder with multipal flyers
-Wolves fairly tame list 2 libs 2 sit with long fangs
-Nids w/ 4 MC 1 of them being flying

so really i just want something enjoyable with Mephiston in the Raven. really the Land raider for deep striking was because the guys at my local shop always like 'you can't complain you have a deep striking land raider' yet these people don't understand the risk so that was more of a unit to prove a point.

But i will accept any idea's you have for lists, tbh im just giving up on trying to win with BA cause every one i go up against runs cheesy lists i can't compete with. side note:
There's no comp so it most definitely will be cheese tastic.

I have to agree with Dco they did get better but the downside is that you're forced into running them on foot or in a land raider.
or if you're really ballsy you can put them in a raven till it gets shot down and you cry as 200+ points disappear for nothing.

Yeah i will be getting bike squads soon i hope sadly won't be before the torn.
