What exactly makes a Baal Predator a Baal Predator?
Since regular ones can take overcharged 'Lucifer' engines too, and according to Forgeworld can even mount a flamestorm cannon.

At least in my own fluff I'm counting a 'Baal Pattern X' as just X vehicle with the Lucifer engines and enhanced stabilisation.
I have dubbed the assault cannon the 'Eradicator' to go along with the existing 'Infernus', 'Annilator', and 'Destructor'.
So that means BA also use Baal Pattern Rhinos, Vindicators, and even Landraiders (using the Lucifer Armoured Taskforce formation).

What do people think? Is this a heretical disregard to existing fluff?
I'm also in the process of styling (my Flesh Tearers) chapter organisation after the British military. [Because Britain is best ]

That seems to make eminent sense. Also, I'd love to see your Brit military style Flesh Tearers

Sorry its cup of blood time, lifts little finger and sips.
Bloody eye of terror, they always come knocking at tea time.

Oh and its red, the answer is always red.

Haha! Perfect

I haven't modelled them as British or anything, but they fight in sections rather than squads, and that sort of.thing I'll post my tree diagram when I get home s you can aee what I mean.

Here's my current organisation.
As I said it's a work in progress, so if anyone has any ideas?
Current plans are renaming the Sanguinary Guard to Blood Guard, and maybe adding a predator scout troop to the recon platoon.

I've posted it on face book and this is the caption I gave it there.
''So I was never too fond of the current codex organisation, so I've decided to create my own for my Flesh Tearers.
I've tried to capture a more 'realistic' look with a nod towards ingame formations/what I like to run. For example an armoured 'hunter' platoon is pretty much a Lucifer Armoured Taskforce, Terminator Platoon an Arch Angels Orbital Intervention force.
As such it's pretty much a British infantry division with an armoured company attached.
It keep towards current fluff if you don't look too closely. The Flesh Tearers currently number ~400 marines in 4 battle companies. I have 4 infantry companies which, at full strength, would total to I think it was about 330 marines, so adding in those marines in the armoured company should get you to around 400.
Which is one thing I disliked about the current codex, a chapter is meant to be ~1000 marines but all the companies together would total ~1050 without any HQs and without any crews for the armourium.
What are peoples thoughts? I've used British terminology for it all (because we all know British terminology is objectively superior ) but would it be more appropriate if I used 40k terminology? If so what would I call a platoon, 40k astartes go straight from company to section level.''

I suggest renaming the blood guard to the tea section.
No fighting before morning tea, thank yew very much.
You can then use someone as tea fetchers. Maybe the hindia family.
Then you could use the Hurka as tea guarders. So they dont get surprised in the arvo. No one wants to interrupt the hurkas, they be krazy loons.
