The most important thing to remember is that this document was written with intent of
being able to be instated into a gaming group whilst changing as little of the
gaming dynamic as humanly possible. This was not the time for mass rewrites or
wish-list ideas but mainly an attempt to bring things into line with the new C: SM.
Although players may feel that they do not agree with certain aspects of what has been
written in this document or how certain units have certain abilities in various tiers, it’s
important to note that it has been done consistently and with forethought throughout
the writing of it.

• DC - The first and most obvious issue is that of the tier 3 decision for the Death
Company. It is very clear that the DC costs worked into the infantry types of the BA
army is somewhat restrictive and disallows a lot more freedom in list design than
players would like. However, the strength of the DC cannot be ignored and with the
new points adjustments to the C: SM it is important to play test this suggestion
within your groups to see how powerful it is and whether or not you would like to
use it. Clearly, this is the biggest game dynamic change, so you will have to make the
decision with you and your friends on whether or not you will use it.
• Fearless and “Combat Tactics” – Although units with Fearless may not use “Combat
Tactics” they have been added for sake of consistency and clarity.

this, but it may be
worthwhile to think about
where BA draws it’s Assault
troopers from. The BA do
not have a vastly different
Chapter structure from
other Codex Astartes
chapters. BA Assault
troopers, like other
Chapters’ are drawn from
their main companies and
reserve companies. The BA
simply draw from them
more often. This is
reflected here by the
Captain with Jump Pack.

Dante – Even though Dante is a Master and should have orbital bombardment from the start,
the decision to leave this until tier 3 was taken not only on account of the fact that it is a
change to a named(special) character that would require a points change but also because
there is no other instance of orbital bombardment in C: BA (since we do not have options
for other masters). The decision to lose “Rites of Battle” was taken once again to make the
changes as accurate and close to the new C: SM as possible.

Tycho– Due to Tycho’s statline compared to other C: SM captains the decision to add digi-
weapons (as he is modeled with and has had previously for years) was done so at no cost instead
of the points listed in the C: SM codex.

Scouts as Troops - Unlike the Assault Squad in tier 3, scouts have been suggested to move to
Troops in tier2 bringing them in line with their C: SM counterparts since it requires no rules
change as such.
Combat Tactics – The inclusion of Combat Tactics only at tier2 seems a bit strange at first but
was done like that because it required an addition of a rule rather than just modification of
existing wargear.

Sternguard and Vanguard - The flipside of the coin to the previous mentioned Chapter specific unit entries is the decision to
not include Sternguard and Vanguard. It does seem unlikely that the entire BA Chapter and its successors would be
without the knowledge of more effective ammunition or the ability of “Heroic Intervention” when their 1st company is
comprised of assault marines, but since BA have an established 1st Company unit entry is was decided against allowing
these two units.
Furioso venerable – The decision at tier 2 to lose ven. status was made because of the inclusion of the Venerable as a
separate entry at tier 2. Since it would require points changes, it was left as a tier3 choice

Suggestions - Creativity holds no boundaries. As a result the urge to go wild and add a whole bunch of exciting options at
tier 3 crept in often whilst writing this document. However, the rules have been kept as simplistic and close to existing rules
as possible. If you feel that you would like to develop your gaming experience more with your friends here are some more
tier 3 suggestions as simple examples:
Corbulo: Replaces Combat Tactics with Chapter Tactics – Sanguinus’ Chosen (Stubborn)
Tycho: Replaces Combat Tactics with Chapter Tactics – Furious Charge, Rage
Dante: Keeps Combat Tactics (as is fitting for his wisdom) but gains Rites of Battle in addition.
Veteran Assault Squad – Gains “Heroic Intervention” for +5 Points a model.

these items in a BA list at tier 2 when you have “equivalents”. They may accuse you of being greedy and wanting your
cake and eating it. The reason these items were included when C: SM do not have access to our specials is simply
because they are unit entries that are not chapter specific. As a result BA, being followers of the Codex Astartes to a
greater extent, would have much more reason to have these units in their army than to not have them. The same goes
for other items like the Land Speeder Storm or the Legion of the Damned which, last time we heard, did not
discriminate between which chapters they helped.
