Competitive Essentials for BA

[TheHarrower]

There are a few things I consider to be essential if we want to run a good list with a BA main detachment: 

 

Mephiston (primarily rolling Biomancy)

Frag cannon dread in pod (probably two)

10 sternguard in a pod (combiweapons optional)

vanguard vets with packs and melta bombs

stormraven (mephistons' ride)

 

Do you agree with the list above? How would you fill out the rest of the points?

Let's hear it.

 

For the most part. This would be my list:

 

Mephiston (though I stick with book powers)

Frag Cannon Dreadnought in a Pod (I usually do take two)

9 Death Company in a Pod (good for distraction as people hate Death Company)

Corbulo and 10 Assault Marines in a Land Raider Redeemer

Storm Raven

 

I have to admit, I don't have much experience with Sternguard outside of Kill Team. I think I need to rectify that though. I can see a lot of uses for them down field. I might put the Death Company in the Land Raider and try the Sternguard in a Pod.

FAQs are on the black library website.

But not all of them. BA are, but most of the army books aren't. I believe it's just the softback books that are.
