Dusting off the BA's

[NinjaNard]

Hi all, :)

Played BA's at a fairly high level level WAY back in 4th (when we were broken) and have been tempted back In to the game via a few work colleagues. Ran a sanguinary guard army last time I was playing for giggles so have around 20 guard, 2 libby dreads and some priests along with Dante and the Sanguinor, looks like this won't work legally anymore so looking to revise it and get something fun and relatively competitive...

Was thinking something along the lines of this?!?

Welcome back!

 

I want to point out that what you stated earlier is legal. You'll just be losing out on some things like command points. The only thing that has really changed is null deployment. You have to start with at least half your units on the board. Not points, units.

 

I don't have my codex on my so I can't verify points for ya but the list looks okay. The SG are going to get isolated and burned down since all you have with them is your two HQs and your ancient. I would hold the SG in reserves and let your list do as much as it can before dropping them in unless you have a real juicy target. 

 

I would focus fire all your big guns on the units that will cause your SG issues that way when they arrive turn 2-3 they can mop up.

 

Also.. don't be afraid to look into the Primaris line. They are really good and the general community is starting to realize it more after their points drop with CA.

 

Edit: I'm doing something similar with my list. The link is below. It is over points right now and I still need to do a little editing to it but it is a good outline to how to start building lists. You do have 15 scouts that can help out the SG but I'm not entirely sure that is enough. I would also include our relic banner on that ancient with your SG.
