Do you think anything could be swapped out? I have 5 more infiltrators, a redemptor, regular dred, almost every HQ other than characters.

The mission we're playing is from the Psychic Awakening Tau book, where Tau must advance and imperium defend. My list is as follows:

Power: 100 PL

Battalion - 32

HQ
Mephiston - unleash rage, quickening, wings of sanguinius - artificer armour (special issue armoury) - 8
Librarian dreadnaught - wings of sanguinius, shield of sanguinius - sargophegas relic - 9

Troops
Infiltrators - comms array - 5
Intercessors - Sargent with chainsword and bolt rifle - auxiliary grenade launcher - auto bolt rifles - 5
Intercessors - auxiliary grenade launcher - stalker bolt rifles - 5

[b]Heavy support detachment - 24

[u]HQ

Captain with jump pack — thunder hammer & storm shield - Gift of Foresight (Warlord Trait) - hammer of Baal (relic) - angels wing (relic 1cp) - Visions of Sanguinius (stratagem 1 cp) — 6

Heavy support
Baal predator - twin assault cannons, heavy bolters - 8
Eliminators - bolt sniper rifles - 4
Hellblasters - plasma incinerators - 6

Vanguard - 44[/b]

HQ
Lemartes - 5 (PA)
Sanguinary Priest - jump pack - 4

Elites
Death company - 4x bolters - 1x melta pistol - 3x chainswords - 1x TH - 1x Power First - Jump Packs - 9

Sanguinary guard x 8 - 3x swords, 3x axes, 2x power fist, 1x inferno pistol - 16

Sanguinary ancient - 6

Reivers - grapple launchers, grav chutes - combat knives and heavy bolt pistols - 4

Would appreciate any feedback or recommendations! Thanks in advance.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/785956/10729944.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/785956/10729944.page GMT
I want the Baal predator to be good, but it just isn't. Even though I know because of the mission it could be tempting to go full castle shooting defensive mode, it's really hard to play defensively with blood angels. You would be better off with another close combat unit, like another smash captain. Especially since he probably has a lot of suits and smash captains are great at smashing those. I'm not a big fan of reivers in Blood Angels or Eliminators. I would probably try to swap them out for one of those dreadnoughts. I think Reivers might be fun in that mission though.

If you are looking as to what to buy next. I would try to get some scout squads with knives. They are the best troop choice in blood angels. I would also try and get some aggressors, which are also super good in BA.

Hope this helps! Have a great game! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/785956/10730933.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/785956/10730933.page GMT
