The point of this list is not to be ultra-competitive. Rather, focus on my favorite elements like Ravenwing bikers and Death Company/Sanguinary Guard. Ravenwing Strike Force special rules will allow for the Strike Force to survive and make a turn 2 alpha strike. The golden host formation will also drop on second turn and hopefully assault. The Stormraven witn the Death Company should hopefully also arrive on turn 2 thanks to Dante's rerolls. I hope that with them turn 2 shanenigans I'll be able to pull off a win or two versus competitive armies, but that's up for me to test. Any suggestions?
(While also keeping the same theme and not turning this list into another battle company, if possible!)

Can't speak on the BA list but you may want to find 5 extra points to turn that land speeder into a dark shroud. It will help keep those bikers alive a little longer, grants the RW fear and stealth if within 6" and they aren't subject to overwatch when charging from the icon bubble.

It does look like an interesting choice, unfortunately I do not have the model, so I cannot use it. Besides that, I'd like to field the Champion (which is only 5 points), however I don't see how I'm going to swap arround the upgrades/special weapons for that. Some tinkering has yet to be made.

You could drop a power fist from the DC squad. I have started to dabble in BA with the Lost Brotherhood Strike Force to use with my DA and from what I can tell, 1 powerfist per 5 DC is the best load out on those guys anyways so you wouldn't want to go to 2 until you had a 10 man squad.

You should consider running Lost Brotherhood instead of Baal Strike Force....

I really want to play my DC models, however, I also want to play RW and Golden host. I can't really think of a legit 605pts Lost Brotherhood Formation, so I just went Baal Strike Force for some DC instead. Although, I'm also considering making it a CAD just for ObSec on my scouts, I'm not sure!

That does look fun
