Rate My List in terms of Competitiveness vs other Space Marines

Standard Plan:
Priests + Sanguinary Guard = 2+ save death company with power weapons (in deep strike reserve)
Tacticals for objective grabbing, 2 flamers out of rhino fire points good damage.
Coteaz (divination) + Command Squad drops in turn 1 kills something important and grants me the locator beacon for all my deep strike reserve units.
Bikes + Vindicators = hard hitting units that work as a good distraction to take attention away from the Locator Beacon drop pod.
Devastators can possibly be joined by Coteaz in case the enemy is more vehicle heavy.
Death Company in deep strike reserve to show up near drop pod.

I find that Baal strike force is almost never worth it.

I agree with you in most cases. It forces you to be uber aggressive trying to get charges off at all times and loses Objective Secured but since im not fielding that many trooops and i want a more elite oriented force, its the best prospect

If possible I would suggest trying to find points for the banner in the sanguinary guard squads since that +1 attack is really useful
