2k BA - supplement list

[Fobzter]

 

This is my first take after supplement. I’ll try to get some battle experience in the weekend. I had a drop pod with MM devs a long time in this list, but skipped it eventually. Also what do you think should I swap the blade vets into Van vets (6man 6x shield, 5x LC, relic blade). I’ve run a similar build before, take the middle, score oaths of moment and try to max out on primary.

Captain + jump pack + relic blade + combi-melta + Rites of War + 2nd WT: Artisan of war + Visage of the dead + 2nd relic: quake bolts

Librarian dreadnought + quickening + wings of Sanguinius

Sanguinary priest + jump pack + Hero of the chapter: Selfless healer + chief apothecary

 

5x incursors

5x incursors

5x infiltrators

 

Redemptor dreadnought + macro plasma incinerator + onslought gatlin cannon

Redemptor dreadnought + macro plasma incinerator + onslought gatlin cannon

5x blade guard veteran squad

8x sanguinary guard + encarmine swords + angelus boltguns

 

Outriders

3x inceptors + plasma exterminators

 

5x eradicators

 

2000p.

 

What do you think?

Looks nice. One slight refinement would be to make the Sanguinary Priest your Warlord. As the wording stands, I am not sure if a model with a WLT triggers the "Heirs of Azkellon" rule on the Sanguinary Guard. I am assuming you will be running the Priest with the Guard since his abilities synergise so well with them. I would be tempted to splash out on some relic armour to keep the keep the Priest alive too. Just 4 wounds with a 3+ makes him rather squishy (even if he can heal himself). I would recommend Armour Indomitus for +1W, a 2+ and a one-off 3++ if he runs into anythign really scary. Again I am assuming he will be buffing the SG so the chances are he will eb close to serious combat, if not in the thick of it.

 

It looks slightly light on anti-tank. Those 5 Eradicators are nasty but they are short ranged and can only be in one place at a time. I would be tempted to replace the Outriders with a pair of Multi melta attack bikes.

Looking pretty solid.

I've played several games with the redemptors and lib dread and with out. My thoughts are that both are valid approach, but change your playstyle. As BA I think we play both get center board and primary well, so those are quite doable to score.

 

I've had four games with my latest iteration and I feel this competes in my meta against several opponents, what do you think?

5x inceptors + plasma exterminators

 

5x eradicators + 4x melta rifle + multi-melta

 

1997/2000. 6 CP.

 

I'd prefer atleast one infiltrator squad, but can't see the points there.. I've found the multi-melta really shined only in one of the games when I managed to shoot while remaining stationary..

 

Anyways I thought I'd share this here too. Having more games this weekend and holidays.

 

Have a nice Covid-19 contamination free christmas..
