After last night's game, I found that some things work and others do not. Here are some general tips for BA players facing Codex SM armies:
*Nothing pops power armor like plasma weaponry, but beware: it can turn on you!
*If you are going to take a squad, it is better to take the squad at its full capacity. Anything less, and they get picked apart too quickly and are forced to take morale checks.
*Death Company marines are your greatest asset, but you have to use them in conjunction with a Chaplain or Brother Corbolo in order to direct their efforts.
*Even when unguarded, a captain with a power fist is still a formidable opponent.
*Scouts will crumple in an assault. Take advantage of it.
Here are some general guidelines for building lists for BA, when you suspect to face a lot of SM:
*Troops are important in 5th edition. Don't forgo points here.
*DC are very powerful. I would venture to say that they are even more so than standard terminators. So make use of them, and field as many of them as you can get points into.
*Don't waste a lot of points on the frills. Meltabombs are great, when you get to use them, but you have to ask yourself how often you really will get to assault with them. Bodies are better than bombs, as a rule of thumb.
That should get you a good start. Email me some other BA tactica tips at cannedflame2005@yahoo.com and I'll put together a post on it!
