Removed list one as it was definitely weaker than the second
Added another list at the bottom using the FT Strike Force instead of the Baal.

List #2

+++ Blood Angels 500 (500pts) +++

++ Blood Angels: Codex (2014) (BA Baal Strike Force) (500pts) ++

+ (No Category) +

Relics and Detachment-rules [Codex: Blood Angels]

+ HQ (85pts) +

Sanguinary Priest (85pts) [Bolt Pistol, The Angel's Wing]

+ Elites (170pts) +

Sanguinary Guard Squad (170pts) [5x Angelus Boltgun, Death Masks, Encarmine Axe, 4x Encarmine Sword, 5x Sanguinary Guard]

+ Troops (245pts) +

Tactical Squad (175pts) [Meltagun, 4x Tactical Marine]
····Razorback [Lascannon & Twin Linked Plasma Gun]
····Tactical Sergeant [Chainsword, Combi-Melta]

Tactical Squad (70pts) [4x Tactical Marine]
····Tactical Sergeant [Boltgun, Chainsword]

I'm using a bare bones tactical to sit on a back field obj. Razorback and melta squad provide anti-armor/MC.

Sanguinary Guard and Priest focus on dealing with Infantry and characters.

Which list and what changes would you make if any?

I also own the following.

10 Death Company
Death Company Dread
Furioso Dread
Terminator Librarian
Chaplain w/ JP

I personally like the second list better. In 500 point games your enemy will most likely struggle taking down 2+ armour with a fnp as well, also I suggest dropping the death masks. They'll be useless against daemons, marines, and usually ld isn't a problem for most armies. If the tacs are just going to sit on objectives, just make them scouts. Will free up some point for an extra marine or upgrades.

The only reason I didn't use scouts is because I do not own any. I had thought for sure Scouts would be better but since I do not currently have the models I am working with 2 5 man Tac squads. Main opponents will be Necrons, Tau and AdMech. I had some extra points so I threw the masks on. What would you suggest doing with the extra 5 points?

Actually, tau and admech might actually get spooked by fear-maybe keep them on. As for the tac squads, then I guess you'll just have to stick with the 2nd list.

If you drop the deathmasks and swap the angels wing out for a base jump pack you can give the priest a power sword, might be an idea.

So... Take a Cretacia (Flesh Tearer) strike force. It replaces one required troops choice with a fast attack choice and you don't have to take an Elite though I'm sure you want to. It's in the shield of baal supplement but battle scribe covers it too.

I feel like the unreliability of the Ft strike force isn't worth it. I am pretty much guaranteed the +1 Strength and Initiative on the charge with the Baal force. Also is there anything in the fast attack slot that is worth dropping the elite slot for?

Alright came up with this list after contemplating your thoughts on the FT vs Baal. Most of the armies I'm fighting against aren't going to have higher initiative than me anyway so no worries on that.

Priest goes with Sanguinary Guard to give FnP.

Death Company works on causing trouble on enemy backfield objectives.

Tac and their Rhino post up and and shoot some stuff with their heavy bolter.
