ummm, i don't think BAs can take Dreadnoughts as Heavy Support. they don't have a MOTF do they?

Yeah, BA can get dreads in their elite, troop and heavy slots, the heavies are the ones without any if the scary BA specific larger

so, Normal Dreds are HS, Furioso's are Elites, and DC are Troops?

Si, senor.

The only thing I noticed about the list I ran is... if my opponent really dedicated himself to taking out my Troops choices, they can be a bit fragile. Razorbacks go down leaving vulnerable 5-man squads, and a single bad assault or solid AP3 or better attack can end the jump squad. Do you think that this is a serious problem with this and similar lists with a lot of points tied up in non-troops, or does it come down to play style and properly protecting your troops, in effect, using them as bait?

When I use 10 man jump squads I usually have at least 2 full ones. I think the 5 man Razorback squads are very very fragile, but 10 man with a priest is a rock that can make excellent use of cover with their high mobility. Just avoid the battle cannon shots....

This list is 1700 point so far. Basically I'm missing your Baal Preds, and I have two full jump squads.

I'm trying to figure the last 50 points...
