Hey Dakka,

Had a crazy idea about a fast moving BT list....although WS CTs would probably better suit the "fluff". I have some bikes from DV...like 12...and wanted to convert them as the robes are very BT.

Anyways..here is the list and my general tactics.

HQ:
Chapter Master on Bike with Artificer Armor, TH/SE

Captain on Bike with LC/SS

Troops:
Bike Squad x5 with 2x Grav and Combi Grav

Bike Squad x5 with 2x Grav and Combi Grav

Bike Squad x5 with 2x melta and Combi melta

Scout squad x5 with 5x BP/CCW and melta bombs
Land Speeder Storm with Heavy Bolter

Scout squad x5 with 5x BP/CCW and melta bombs
Land Speeder Storm with Heavy Bolter

Scout squad x5 with 5x Bolters and melta bombs
Land Speeder Storm with Heavy Bolter

Fast Attack:
Stormtalon with Skyhammer ML

Stormtalon with Skyhammer ML

Stormtalon with Skyhammer ML

1500

I will be outflanking with the Storms and having a talon escort each one. I will push the bikes up a flank and cause havoc on turn 2 with being in the enemy back field and then just swing down the line.

I actually like the list a lot. One thing that may be worth trying is a close combat Command Squad on bikes... it could be both fluffy and effective. I've tried the whole grav bike squad but honestly, I don't think it meshes well with the Chapter Master and Captain trying to get into cc... if you just take 2 power axes and 2 power mauls and an apothecary, you can flat out the first turn to try and make contact with them and not have to worry about jinking to impact your shooting the next turn - it's actually pretty scary to see a beefy character re-rolling in a challenge thanks to their CTs.

The only other thing I'd change is the LSS to have the heavy flamer, just because I feel like you can avoid the BS3 with the template...

I'd drop one squad of scouts and a grav bike squad for the command squad (and then give the melta squad a MM attack bike to mesh well and hurt Knights).

I don't think you can escort an outflanking storm with the talon since you have to come in within close proximity of them... so I'd just deep strike the storms with the heavy flamers to really put pressure on the enemy, or protect your flank from enemy deep strikes with their jamming beacons.

I really like this list so far!

Curious at what this list would look like to me, here's what I'd change it to (if you can take Forge World):

Chapter Master - bike, artificer armor, power fist, shield eternal
Captain - bike, artificer armor, lightning claw, storm shield
Command Squad - bikes, apothecary, power axe x4

Scout Squad (5) - ccw/bp, land speeder storm w/heavy flamer
Scout Squad (5) - ccw/bp, land speeder storm w/heavy flamer
Bike Squad (5) - grav x2, combi-grav
Bike Squad (5 + 2) - melta x2, combi-melta, mm attack bike

Stormtalon - skyhammers *escorts the Fire Raptor

Fire Raptor - quad heavy bolters

I will have to take a look about the escort stuff, it always sounds great in my mind. If not, the distrubtion to deep strike and blinding squads is the main reason I want the speeders around lol. Fun times hitting on 3s with scouts!

Was also thinking lances would be fun and fluffy. Sort of stink after the charge but good luck withstanding that charge lol.

Just reviewed the escort rule and you can't escort outflankers. DARN.
