the final knob is cut.. i'm starting BA

[Deamons Redeemer]

ok so now i decided to go BA

still working out the units, HQ etc

but i had to share this with you guy's

just now i'm reading up on the fluff in the BA dex 

 

my first thought for a BA list is this:

 

HQ:  captain tycho

         libby, might of heroes, bloodlance

 

elites: 5 sanguinary guard , 2 infernus pistols, 2 PF

           fragioso , magna grapple , drop pod or a sanguinary priest (termi, blood chalice, power sword)

           libbyoso dedicated drop pod or 7 assault termi's, hammers an shields , dedicated drop pod

 

troops: 6 DC thunder hammers, (either dedicated drop pod or jump packs)

            6 DC 3 PF, jump packs or 7 tac squad , teleport homer, PF, drop pod

            1 DC dread blood talons , dedicated drop pod

 

 

any c&c on it brothers?

the idea is to deepstrike, droppod assault , blood from above!!!

I would really suggest getting many assault squads - they should be in any ba list you play

Welcome to BAs! :)

 

First thing is if you want to take multiple DC squads as troops you need to take Astorath as an HQ otherwise you are limited to one squad and 1 dreadnought (if the squad numbers 5 DC at least).

Second thing is i think if you really want Tycho he is best used with sternguards (in a pod or a raven).

Terminators can't take drop pods, you have no scoring units, and you could double your death company numbers if you took out the thunder hammers.

 

That said, VERY aggressive. Sounds interesting!

Choosing Sanguinius? You made the right choice! Diggin' the guitar \m/

Sooo you like a "raining blood" style list?

Alright,
let's start with troops first. Although you have the required 2 troops minimum, unfortunately DC cannot score or claim objectives (poop). However, we can mitigate this downside by taking assault marines. For a drop style list, I recommend at least 1 10 man assault squad in a pod with 2 meltaguns and another 10 man AS in pod with 2 flamers. They're good for slamming down on your enemy's objective on turn 2 (of course after your dreads come in and wreck face). For DC, roll an 8-10 man squad in a pod without the jump packs. It's cheaper that way.

I like how you're running sanguinary guard. I love the unit's looks... ANGELS! However, you may find a podded unit of sternguard to be more useful with combi-meltas or -combi-plasmas and heavy flamers, especially with Tycho (who also uses special ammunition). The SG are unfortunately VERY expensive for just a 5 man squad.

Finally, I don't think terminators and jump pack marines can take drop pods.
