On paper, the BA definitely hold the advantage in hand-to-hand. But from tabletop experience, the last time I played against BT a jump-pack chaplain with some assault marines managed to kill 2 plague marine squads, a rhino, and 5 havocs before the game ended. The same game the Emperor's Champion thrashed my Lord with the Murder Sword. It was bad.

Against BA I've always fared much better, although I've only played them twice.
