Since cancellation to the Golden Throne GT we've turned our attention to going to Bay Area Open. Ticket ready since I had bought it for the GTGT months in advance. I went to the Las Vegas Open in the beginning of the year and enjoyed to the max how well Frontline Gaming runs their events. The mats they have make the tables look gorgeous and their terrain is on point. We will be attending the BAO with around 10 players from our team SixSixOne including Team Captain Brawl in the Fall winner Jesse Morales.
So I've come to the conclusion that I will be representing Space Marines at the BAO GT. White Scars to be exact.
White Scars Chapter Tactics
Khan - Warlord
This is so I can Scout or Outflank my whole army.
Chapter Master (Iron Hands Allies)
Bike, Thunder Hammer, Digital Weapons, Shield Eternal, Artificer Armour
He's such a beatstick of a unit.
Tactical Squad
Combi Melta, Meltagun, Melta bombs, 8 Bolters
Rhino

Scouts x5 Bolters (Iron Hands Allies)
Scouts x5 Snipers (Iron Hands Allies)
Land Speeder Storm
This gives me 18 objective secured units that don't show up til Turn 2. Its just so hard to kill 50 marines and 5 Rhinos in 7th. The scouts can go to ground for a 2+ cover in Ruins on an objective. If its the Ruin that the Techmarine buffs up they don't even have to go to ground.
Thunderfire Cannon
Gives all the ICs T7 once attached. Great for killing infantry.
Sternguard Squad
5x Combi Melta,
Drop Pod
Such an awesome unit to drop in Turn 1 and get 1st Blood.
Im about 1/3 done painting the army. I've been getting as much practice games that I can now that the missions are out for the BAO. Im stoked and ready to go. Less than 2 months left. Hope to see you guys there.
If you havent bought your ticket to the BAO you can buy it here.

I'd like to thank Matt Defranza and Justin Cook from Team Stomping Grounds for their help with tips and tactics over the past year.
