This situation is absolutely identical to the one described in the C:CSM FAQ (Tide of Traitors Stratagem):

I'm sure 100%. This stratagem has not any obvious restrictions for non codex chapters.

One of the purposes is getting access to Codex:SM stratagems before the game. For example, with SM Stratagem "Chapter Master" BA Captain with Jump Pack got BA Chaper Master properties.

Below you can see a another BA list of Russian player Stepan Zotov. His team take 1st place in big team-tournament "Black Winter 2018" (Moscow, 112 players). I am very interested to know your opinion about this list

I want to add a few key points from the video. 1) The main strength of the army is the opportunity to hit from the reserve. As rule, the alpha strike of the enemy is wasted. Our troops on the table stay in cover and play the role of anvil. We inflict the first serious blow in direction unexpected by enemy. Our deep striking units shoot, then charge in melee. 2) Heroes have important strike potential. They allow us to relive the deaths of many troops and win. 3) BA have powerful magic. All powers are very useful. Mephiston is excellent. Inquisitor's psychic power help us to deny enemies overwatch. 4) Opponents are not waiting for close combat. This, together with shooting allows us to cause great damage to the enemy. 5) The Army is very mobile. Sorry for my terrible English

In his video he said that the main thing is flexibility of the list. His army can fight mele and shoot. In addition, it was a big surprise for opponents. They did not know how it is played and made many mistakes.

Below the version of this list for the Team ETC 2017 (Team Russia took 1st place) without 40 conscripts:

Blood Angels (Stepan Zotov, Russia) took 4th place at the ETC 2017! His list you can find on the 2:06 of this video

This is my DC, which I converted from regular asault marines and some black templar/chaos bits http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/22/valistan.0/0_a4ee_a696eda2_L.jpg Another fotos of my DC marines is here
