I'm still not sure if I'm going to go, but the group I'm involved with is doing a tournament at the end of the month. I've been workshopping a few ideas, but really don't know how much I want to play in a strictly competitive setting...I feel like BA are fighting a real uphill battle against armies like Tau, Eldar, and other spammy lists out there. Maybe it's because I don't want to spam units right back at people, I don't know. Either way, here's a new list that is now possible 'cuz I got some new shiny for my birthday from my girlfriend :grin: I'd love to hear any comments and criticisms, I've never played in a full-on competitive environment before.
Baal Strike Force Detachment
HQ
Priest - Jump Pack, Lightning Claw
Elites
5x Sanguinary Guard - Power Fist, Chapter Banner (3x Swords, 1x Axe)
10x Death Company - Jump Packs, 2x Power Fists (BP/CCW otherwise)
Furioso - Heavy Flamer, Frag Cannon, Drop Pod
Furioso - Heavy Flamer, Frag Cannon, Drop Pod
Troops
10x man Tactical squad - Melta Gun, Rhino
10x man Tactical squad - Melta Gun, Rhino
Fast Attack
5x man Assault squad - 2x Melta Guns, Combi-Melta, Drop Pod
Heavy Support
Predator - Overcharged Engines, Autocannon, Lascannon Sponsons
Stormraven - Twin-linked Lascannon and Multi-Melta
1750 points bang on. Rhinos move to support the Furioso attack or grab objectives, Predator stays back or follows slowly picking off transports/using OCE to get on some side armour. Priest goes with SG, them and the DC basically run at whatever looks juicy at the onset. Don't think I'll be DSing them at all even if I get Descent of Angels twice over as a Warlord Trait, I like them on the table T1 ready to react/grab objectives. The Assault squad is basically a use once and destroy unit, hopefully all of my opponents have something with an AV that's worth three Melta shots when they come in. Stormraven is primarily there for anti air, but can obviously deal with ground targets well. Contemplating swapping the TLLC for the TLAC, but I'm not entirely sold on that move. There's been lots of times I've needed the extra high strength attacks for enemy Fliers/FMCs.
Thanks for having a look! :drinks:
