I prefers a tactical army more then the ones I see relying on assault squads n dc. Once Iget another baal the bike will render useless. Atm there a fast assault n distraction.

The power fists are not worth it... If the devastators ever get into combat, they're screwed. Power fists are waste of points. The multi-melta and the heavy bolters are completely different types of weapons... if you are going to use the heavy bolters, use all heavy bolters. Get rid of the termi's and get some death company. Really I don't understand what you are doing wityh dante... his surgical strike and hit and run and the mask are all for mostly close combat, with your mass background list, he will be useless. The tactical squads have flamers and have no transports....??? what are they supposed to do, you have 2 troop choices, which is terrible for a 2000 point list, and they are going to be walking across a board with no transports? Dead meat. I realize you don't want ASM, but most people use them for a reason... put them in RBs and just shoot while moving 12". You have little anti-air, unless you shoot a bunch at it, and that wastes a bunch. extra amour isn't worth it, and I think neither is a single baal predator. all devestator also, for BA, just makes no sense. that is alot of your points, for units that can't score and only 3 of which can actually shoot... I'm having trouble finding something good with this list.

Devastators are the worst heavy choice in the whole BA book. Get fast preds for heavy weapons.

Dante is a disaster. Never use him. Ever. Go with level 1 libby, even if it thematically sucks. Also, Dante's not a loss because Sanguinary Guard suck as well. Basically, you have to pretend that 75% of this codex doesn't exist to get an average-strength list.

Welcome to Dakka!

As cynical as Martel's words may sound, listen to him.
No-one's saying that you can't use the units you like but representing a BA list with 30 Devastators is a wtf moment for me

Only 20 scoring models is very little at 2000 points so you will need squad more.

And those Termies will have tough time survivng. Only 5++ Inv isn't enough if they are footslogging.

For the angels of blood....there is no hope of victory.....

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

It is far from a normal ba list n its why Ilike it. So far I'm 3-2 withit. Sure it does eat a lot of shots but a armys only as strong as its general. Its on how they all get used I break ne squad that's not in a trans into combat squads. I use cover to move. While my speeders n bikes distract. Almost every ba list iver seen has 80 percent asm n same amount dies before getting close. The terrain we use allows me slow units to be affective. Close combat style. I'm not disagreeing with anyone input. I know this is not a turny list. Its my learn n have fun one. I'm fairly new still and feel best way to learn is by maken it fun and to see that many foot soldiers coming at you regardless of knowing there gonna get wasten is fun. I feel it adds some realizum then seeing proper lists. It also make its it difficult on me and makes me think more of distance n placement. Like nides

Oh and BA MM attack bikes are full of win. Especially when they have FNP.

Playing my first apaco today with that list 2500 min. I added 2 bike squads. So far after 2 turns. I managed to take out 2000 points of a eldar flank n dante has assualted 2 veteran squads n raped them while taking only 1 wound. I've lost a squad of devs toa blast temp. And 3 termies to a necron attemp of over kill. Tomorrow we finish. 18 players total most lists were 3k to 5k. Its doing what its made for so far. N that's to be over looked n its working. Like Isaid 2000 killed n 500 lost
