Hey, all. I know that I chime in on a ton of BA threads because I've played them so much.

List 1 but change over the vindi to SM, and the captain to a CM with a shield eternal.
Add a razorback to the squad with HB
I'd honestly remove the second bike squad and change it to a razor as well.

I like List 2 a little over List 1, though I wish you could find the 55pts required to upgrade your Captain to a Thunderhammer and the Shield Eternal.

all lists are good, one and 2 are the best. captain does SO well as chapter mastr with sheild eternan. (along with your upgrades)

Hf on razor back needs to become a HB tho.

I like lists one and two. I see some things I would do similarly. I think my wife got me the SM codex for my birthday. I'll find out in the morning, I may have some more insight then.

Actually HF on a BA razorback is $$.

Also move your vindicator to the iron hands side of the list to give it "IT WILL NOT DIE"

IWND vs fast is a pretty close call.

Fast is more useful on the vindicator IMO. I just got one off a fellow BA player fully assembled for $10, what a deal! I Think the same guy is gonna sell me a Baal predator this Friday for $10 also. At the moment I only have the one vindicator, I'll still need a second one for saturation.

Btw: got the new marine book on Saturday for my birthday. It's got so shoot options as far as allies for my BA. LSS will work well with BA as well as thunderfire cannons and storm talons.

List 2 but drop the assault termies. They are overcosted. And the points you save allows you to get the shield eternal and th. And you can get hurricane bolters on the stormravens. More dakka is always good.
