After having an older list reviewed, I was forced to think what I really wanted this list to do.
I want it to take advantage of the Honour Guard as well as the Blood Angels greatest strength... jump packs.
Librarian Epistolary (Unleash Rage/Might of Heroes) w/Storm Bolter and Jump Pack
attached to Honour Guard w/Chapter Banner and Jump Packs
Blood Champion w/Storm Shield and Thunder Hammer
Guard w/Lightning Claw, Storm Shield and Meltabomb
Guard w/Lightning Claw, Storm Shield
Guard w/Thunder Hammer and Storm Shield
568 Points
4x 10-man Assault Squads w/Power Fist Sergeant and 2x Meltaguns
940 Points (235 each)
Librarian Epistolary (Shield/Blood Lance) w/Storm Bolter and Jump Pack
178 Points
3x Sanguinary Priest w/Storm Bolter, Power Sword and Jump Pack
279 Points
The 3 Sanguinary Priests and extra Librarian join the four Assault Squads
There is 35 Points leftover and I'm not sure what to do with it.
I'm thinking to DoA everyone in and then after alot of the threats are removed, use the Assault squad's mobilty to get them to objectives.

Don't add any gear to the Sang priests, they are the first to die in an assault, so it is a bit of wasted points. I still have a bit of an issue with the lack of dealing with heavy armor. Also, if an opponent sets-up correctly, DoA will mean death on arrival for you.

Ditch the storm bolters, you get more attacks for having a pistol and close combat weapon.
You don't need power weaps on the Priests.
You lack long range support and too much points invested into those Honour Guard.

This unit is a point sink.
Its too small enough to count as a deathstar.

Take the storm bolters off Librarians and Priests, they have power weapons so will be in combat and you should make use of the one handed weapons. However, if you want to keep the storm bolters on the priests, you can take a lightning claw for the same price of the power weapon.

sang priests will get torn apart in Close combat since everyone wants to get rid of that FnP and FC, so just dont give them any gear cuz it will be a waste. they can be picked out in close combat and so people will do that and kill them fast. that honor guard squad is huge in points, why two thunder hammers? these arent termies. if you want a dope killing squad get assault termies, your honor squad is almost geared up like assault termies just aren't and dont have the suriviablity of assault termies tho they eat up just as many pointS!

Regular Dakkanaut

The first squad is death star level points wise, but way too small.
What happens when it gets pie plated? You get your storm shield save then 1/2 are insta-gibbed on 2s? Regular flamers would even own them (or Burnas in a Wagon).
Basically everything in the game has potential to squash 600 points in one go.
