It looks to be a very balanced army and not really min/maxed. I don't know what your tourney area is like so I won't go into details on how to change it. If you play a no army comp WAAC army enviornment, you will wan to look at getting cheapo vet sgts in squads to assist in a better Death Company. They are a real work horse in a Blood Angel army. I'm not sure this list can stand up to some of the more min/max lists folks tend to bring.

However, if you play in an area with army comp and people take it serious, you should have no problems.

Thanx for the awnser. Yes we do play with komp. All major tournaments in sweden have "subjective komp". This army would probably score somwhere between 4-5 on a scale of 1/10. Personally I think I would have a chance against many minimax lists as well due to the many HB`s. Any small tweeks or ideas to improve the army without making it to cheesy?

Caveat- I don't play Blood Angels, but do play against them on occasion.

It seems you have a sufficient amount of Hvy Bolters, but not much to take on the likes of a Monolith/Chaos Pred or Land Raider(if someone actually will use it). I see Melta Bombs, but it seems that can't get utelized until late in the game if your opponent tries to avoid them.

I'd drop the Hvy Bolter from the Tactical Squad and look to either tweak the Attack Bike unit or drop them as well. You may want a multi melta or two in the bike unit as an option if you want to keep the bikes.

I see the importance of having a Vet Sgt in you Devastator squad, but not really the importance of having a power wpn. He'll either go to Death Company or stay giving your devs a better leadership. If they get in assault, you've probably made some tactical error and a single power weapon won't be much help anyway.

Not much to tweak in my opinion, but these are a few that spring to mind.
