BA 2k Herpaderping

[Frosty the Pirate]

So I wanted to try a completely different approach to BA, while I've heard good things from over yonder about 40x ASM + 3 JP Priests Core, I wanted to try out some of the units thrown under the bus in the BA codex in 5th.

I should note, I basically just threw this together, In all honestly I'm hotly debating if I should build my marines as SW, BA, or wait for the CSM book, since all have cool factor for me.

List:

Dante

2x Priests - One with JP/MB, One with Bike/MB

5x Sang Guard

5x Sang Guard w Chapter Banner

10x ASM w 2 Melta, Sarge with Power Sword, Melta Bomb

10x ASM w 2 Melta, Sarge with Power Sword, Melta Bomb

8x Bikers, 2x Plasma Gun, Sarge with MB, Attack Bike with MM

Storm Raven - Multi-Melta

Storm Raven - Multi Melta

2K on the nose.

In my head, this is basically double-raven blood rodeo, The Bikes use T5/Jink/FNP to protect the marine bodies, I've brought along lots of melta and melta bombs (As well as the ever present Krak grenades) as mountains of AT, 2x Ravens will be hard to deal with, and should be able to murder enemy fliers as well as take out big tanks that could squish my precious ASM/Nipples.

I brought along a chapter banner for the extra attacks, and Dante is a challenge winning machine with 2+/4++/FNP and piles of attacks, through the nerf to I1 hurt him quite a bit.

Not sure If I can bust this one out today (I would need to borrow 2x ravens), but I likely will sometime soon.

I can bring my ravens if you wanna try it today. You would just need a single flyer base as I only have one assembled atm.

Aight, I'll dig in my box and see what I can find to proxy some bikers, I'll bring what I can and my elves in case it doesn't work out.

So after miserably failing today, Dante and the Nipples are a no-go. Overcosted and not enough punching, and when you roll those 1's FNP doesn't help nearly as much as it did previously. I found myself really wishing I had some anti-infantry shooting and LOS blocking.

The bikes also were too easy to kill as bubble wrap, as getting through a half dozen T5 3+/FNP bodies is much easier than I'd thought.

Without further Ado I present the re-worked list I will be trying out soon.
