So i've Decided im going to run my BA as DA instead for a while and have some fun with Body spam which originally was going to have the main detachment as codex marines but until i can really look into the Chapter traits figured id run it like this, though every thing could change when the marine codex is out.

The 1950 Tactical list[u]

This is Assuming all the Costs in the Marine Codex is equal to the DA prices which i imagine they will be the same. I'd Comabt it all except devs unless it was killpoints to have a total of 14 scoring units biggrin.gif and 16 possibly 18 in big guns never tire more biggrin.gif!

Dark Angles:

Librarian (Div Re rolls and hopefully ignore cover make those flak really hurt.)

Command squad with Banner of Devastation

10 Tactical Marines: Melta-gun, Heavy Bolter
10 Tactical Marines: Melta-gun, Heavy Bolter
10 Tactical Marines: Melta-gun, Heavy Bolter

10 Dev Marines: Flak,Flak,Flak,Flak
10 Dev Marines: Flak,Flak,Flak,Flak

Allied Codex Marines

Librarian (What ever their codex offers thats good)

10 Tactical Marines: Plasma-Gun, Plasma-Cannon

I mean the main problem i'd have would be drakes but id imagine the Devs could / would make short work of them i'd hope.

Any suggestions without changing the body count i'd like to really keep it around 100 bodies.

All I would say is stick in an ADL if you can, as otherwise those marines (who will have to close up to take advantage of the banner) will be defenceless against Battle cannons, plasma cannons and any heldrakes that make it past the devs. Other than that, this looks pretty good.

Take full use of the PFGs gives those marines in the banner range a 4++ for 60 points of pfg you could cover 2-3 squads.
