'lo thar

I have been trying to perfect my FLGS competitive BA list and was wondering what people thought of the list that I had come up with.

My tactics are basically 3 objectives held by the 5 man SM units while the vehicles and whatnot try to clean up any opposition. Once the game is half way through the DC swoop in and strike the killing blow, wherever it is needed. This list is a remake of one that I made a while ago, making use of some new units, mostly vehicles.

I like the idea of a BA mechanised armoured division kind of thing, but then beggars can't be choosers.

Here's the list:

HQ

Reclusiarch (with death company)


Elites

Terminator assault squad (in land raider)
- 3 TH/SS

Brother Corbolo (with assault terminators)


Troops

Tactical squad (combat squads)
- melta gun
- Lascannon
- Full squad

Assault squad (no jump packs) (in razorback)
- flamer

Death company (in stormraven)
- Thunder hammer
- Power fist
- Power sword
- 7 man squad

Death company dreadnought (in stormraven)
- Magma grapple


Transport

Land raider Crusader (termies)
- Multi melta

Razorback (assault marines)
- Heavy bolter


Fast attack

Baal predator
- TLAC
- Heavy bolter sponsons


Heavy support

Storm raven
- Lascannons
- Multi-melta

Vindicator

Total: 1850 pts

any thoughts, feeling or advice on the list welcome,

thanks, thetallestgiraffe

One vindicator will die. AV 11 vehicle on side, it is an easy kill that a lot of people will be focusing on.

Are the DC in the stormraven? if not then don't take them and get more razorbacks. If they are then take two PF. if they are in combat the DC will kill 3+ armour either way. waste of points

The baal pred in my opinion is better with Flamestorm. it can scout 12", then move 12", and that closes most distance with the enemy. then auto hit with at least 7 hits and wound on 2+ for most things.

If you are going for mech, I would get more Razorbacks and another baal pred.

Your scoring looks a little depleted.

thanks for the advice on the DC PFs will swap out some things.

I'm just not sure what I should drop to get more scoring units. Do you think that I should drop the vindicator for them or trade them for another Baal?

Get rid of the DC for more scoring and trade the vindicator for another baal pred with flamestorm.

I would drop land raider. To many points, and doesnt add to much survivability to the terminators.

Get rid of Reclusiarch, Vindicator, and DC. Put in a libby and other units that are more efficient.

More scoring!
