comes to 1850 on the dot just needing some insight on if anything might need changed or not
is it a solid list or might have holes an so on

[infantryman9244]

so im guessing that scense no one has posted its a great army list with no problems in what so ever :mad:

[Tynskel]

Grumpy! No Soup For you!

[Tynskel]

I just think it looks like every other BA list out there.

Drop a Stormraven and replace a razorback with a Land Raider of some sort. That'll spice things up.
Also, I would change the Rhino guys to flamers. drop the Powerfists in those squads to power weapons, and take hand flamers. This will free up points for a priest. Yay a priest! 20 points left over. Personally, I'd take 2 more hand flamers in the Meltagun squads. Just in case you need more flamers! Either that, or put a locator Beacon on the Stormraven---- nothing like Deep Striking a Land Raider Next to a Stormraven.

am I the only one that likes to buy Heavy Bolters n' Hv Flamers for my Baals?

Coming on from the side board edge and firing 6 str 5 shots + 4 twin-linked str 6 shots on back armor, to me, sounds like a good idea for 30 points more.

No Tynskel..I, like you have Heavy and Flaming Baals...

Nothing like a Scout move to the side and then a quick jump to the rear to light them up! Or you could come on the side...

[Smotku]

I like the heavy flamers. i am almost aways moving over 6 with the Baal so hvy bolters are rarely used. but sice i am aggresasive with it, going for side shots and such it tends to get charges alot. if it survives an assualt which it frequently does due to needing 6s to hit I then can give a helthy dose of heavy flamer to bunched up troops. i almost never scout my Baal I hate depending on reserve rolls.

In regards to transports I have moved away from Razorbacks towards landraiders. i prefer the crusader over the Redeemer. I am actually a huge fan of assault cannons so i will also run standard dreads with them as well and landspeeders with them also.

The problem i have with Razorbacks is that they seem to die with alarming alacrity no matter what they are armed with.

Oh I think your list is fine although I think the libby will die all too quickly in close combat. I almost never run them in power armor anymore although I do occasionally when I want to run a DOA army.

heres what im lookin at when ill be playin the tourney is alot of SM armies maybe a nid an necron also an ork army so thats y i have the longrange weapons so mt baals will play the sides of my razorbacks
the lib is just for cover in a stormraven thats all hes good for

well, if you are fighting space marines, bugs, and possibly orks/necrons, then you will benefit from all the flamers more than the meltaguns. Plasma might be more useful--- the razorback could switch to that.

The librarian is more useful that 'shield'. If that's the reason you chose him, you should be using a different commander, anyhow.

[infantryman9244]

the only reason for 2 melta is for the AT value i expect to see alot of armor on the field

[Tynskel]

well, you are taking 4 squads with melts. What happens if you encounter a horde? Orks or Bugs will chew you apart if you don't have some flamers to thin their numbers.
