Allies should plug holes in your usual lists. Consider what you find yourself having trouble killing/what else is in your list?

BA tend to be melee-centric so you might take a Crusader (the two-guns Questoris-chassis build) to bring heavier fire support and hit things hidden behind screens your melee units can't get to easily.

Balanced Game: Noun. A game in which all options and choices are worth using.

I've ran smash Captains but they always get destroyed lol. I'm probably doing something wrong but they tend to die quickly.

Probably not screening for them or deepstriking and assaulting with them.

I do deepstrike with them. Is that the wrong strategy? How are they most effectively used?

they die because opponent can't afford to let them live because they tend to kill more than itself costs in one round already. Giving chance to kill multiple things is worse.

Key is to simply rip apart biggest target you can and then it has done it's job. With 3++ you will also soak up nice amount of damage for added bonus.

As a rule of thumb in 40k things die. It's not about protecting your units but killing opponent efficiently. Not much in this game that doesn't die if opponent wants to kill it.
