After getting home for xmas I could check my codexes and IAs and realised Id been using old dex pricing with my memory so had many points to spare with the recent lists I'd been making. So with Angels Blade, the BA dex and IA:2 at hand I came up with the following list:

Golden Host
Dante (Warlord)

5 Sanguinary Guard
1 fist, 1 axe, 3 sword, Chapter Banner

5 Sanguinary Guard
1 fist, 2 axe, 2 sword

5 Sanguinary Guard
1 fist, 2 axe, 2 sword

5 Sanguinary Guard
1 fist, 2 axe, 2 sword

Flesh Tearers Strike Force
Chaplain (to unlock multiple Relics of the Armoury)

5 Tac Marines
Heavy flamer
Razorback
Assault Cannon

Javelin
Multimelta, 2 hunter killer missiles

Javelin
Multimelta, 2 hunter killer missiles

Deimos Vindicator
Schism of Mars

Sicarian

3 Rapier Quad Mortars

1850pts

Golden Host: Auto comes on when I want them from T2 onwards, can assault from deepstrike and Dante reduces all their scatter by d6". After running SG a lot before I stopped playing in summer, I can say that you lose a much higher fraction to shooting than you ever do in assault, the GH formations benefit should vastly increase their survivability.

Tacs & Razor: Chaplain rides with these. Realistically a tax, but with the AC Baal being so overcosted in comparison to a normal pred, an AC Razor give the option of fielding an AC on a fast platform at a reasonable price. Heavy flamer just because we can as BA ;-). Although tempted to remove the heavy flamer for an extra fist in Dante's unit so that they are more effective at GMC hunting.

Javelins: Can deepstrike or outflank and will have 4 st8 ap3 (2 of which are one use the other two are from the Cyclone Missile Launcher that it gets base) and 1 st8 ap1 melta shots when they arrive. Easy enough to bypass a Knights shield with these shots.

The Deimos Vindi: with Schism of Mars it becomes the most effective unit I've ever Mathshammered at achieving explodes results - "With all 3 shots and schism of mars a deimos vindicator has a 39.5% chance of exploding an av14 vehicle in 1 round of shooting.
Against av13 (using 2/3 in place of 5/6) it becomes 55.8% chance of an explodes in one round of shooting.
Against av12 (using 1/2) it becomes a 62.4% chance.
Against av11 (using 1/3) it becomes a 64.6% chance.
Against av10 (using 1/6) it becomes a 65.1% chance."

Sicarian: Usually gets my love with Schism but the vindi steals it here. Still worth it bare bones putting out 6 tl st7 ap4 ignores jink rending shots.

Rapier Quad Mortars: putting out either 12 st8 ap4 sunder (tank hunting) shots or 12 st5 ap5 barrage pinning (with -1 ld mod) blasts. From a T7 12W 3+ unit, so very durable.

A different looking list that will be able to compete against tourney lists you think?
