Flesh Tearers list, let me know what you guys think!

Ok so ive decided to start collecting an army aside from dirty eldar and i've always liked the flesh tearers chapter and after seeing that they have their own force org in shield of Baal i decided to bite the bullet.

For my core army i had the following in mind:

Flesh Tearers 1500



HQ Librarian Lvl 2 -90

TROOPS 10x Tac squad w/melta and heavy flamer -160
-> Drop Pod -35

TROOPS 10x Assault Squad w/vet sgt, melta, flamer combat shield, Power wep -215

ELITES 10x Death Company w/ bolters and Power fist -225
-> Drop Pod -35

ELITES Furioso Dread w/ swap storm for heavy flamer -135
-> Drop Pod -35

FAST ATTACK 10x Assault Squad w vet sgt, melta, flamer, combat shield, power fist -225

HEAVY SUP Storm Raven w/ multi melta and hurricane bolters -230

HEAVY SUP Predator w/ side sponson Lascannons -115

TOTAL: -1500

The only thing i would maybe change in this list myself would be swapping the Libby for a Sangunary priest with jump pack and a power weapon. What do you guys think of the list? anything that should be changed or modified?

Not bad. Maybe switch the Pred to a Baal?

FYI I have some old Blood Angels stuff if you're interested. 5 assault marines, 5 plastic DC, 10 metal DF, all with jump packs. And Lemartes.

Hmm could be useful! esp the assault and DC. What are the metal DF? (or did you mean DC?) What were you thinking for them?

Metal DC. Typing on a phone is hard.

I may have a tactical awe too. 1/2 retail? They're put together but it's just super glue so they come apart with debonder or cold if you don't like the build. I'll make a list and PM you.

You planning to run it as a Baal strike Force, Fleshtearers Strike force, or Combined Arms?

Im not familiar with the FTSF as I don't play FT. I almost always run the BSF, even when my list would appear to more benift from the ObSec of a CAD.

I think that the FTSF only requires 1 troops choice, and grants up to 6 FA slots... So you could switch that one tactical squad to an assault squad... and assault squads can give up their JP for a free drop pod/rhino. Could save you points, at the cost of ObSec.

Based on experience running furiosos, you may want to give it a frag cannon. Coming down by pod, with next to no weapons other than fists you will note that it will die fast. Yeah it's AV13 front, but it doesn't matter now a days with the massive abundance of AntiArmor...

I love DC... And I love your loadout on them... Insane... Relentless models with bolters... tons of shots....

I don't like Preds so much. Not even the Baal. 7th ed codex ruined them... they used to have the Scout USR, but no more. So all it is now is a pred with an Assault Cannon... Meh.... I might almost suggest taking a vindicator instead, give it Siege Shield and Over charged engines, and now its a fast tank, that can go 12" and drop the large Blast on something. And with the Siege it ignores terrain, so will never immobile from going over that one rock..

What role will the Storm Raven be? Will it carry anything? if it will, keep the Points embarked on it low, one lucky shot can annihilate everything inside it... i don't like those odds.... I like to throw a dreadnought in it, usually Cassor (special character deathcompany dread from deathstorm). People tend to "forget' that there's a dreadnought embarked in it, so when it goes into hover mode and deploys a crazy bundle of claws and armor, it hurts. Also, if you do put a dread in it, and want to use the Sky of Fury rule, give the dread magna grapple. Then if it scatters from the jump out, it ignores the dangerous terrain test

Also consider giving your libby the gallian staff... sure it can hurt your guy from a rerolled 1 also rolling a 1, but it gives a little more reliability to your librarian.. I take them all the time with it, never will I go without.
