Hello!

Could you give me some pointers on what to change/add/remove to my blood angels army?

I'm aiming for 1500 pts.

Chaplain in terminator armour - 125 pts
5 man tactical squad, plasma pistol x1, flamer x1 - 135 pts
5 man tactical squad, plasma pistol x1, plasma gun x1 - 145 pts
Death Company Furioso Dreadnought - 125 pts
Honor guard, Jump packs, plasma pistol x2, power swordx1, power fist x1 - 220 pts
Terminator squad, assault weapons (lightning claws x4, thunder hammer & storm shield x1) - 200 pts
5 man Death Company, jump packs - 55 pts

That's a total of 1005 pts.

I already bought and painted all of the above.

Yes, I'm an idiot for not researching before buying. But what the hell. Painting relaxes me.

Could you give me some pointers on what to change/add/remove to my blood angels army?

The Blood Angels

Here is what I came up with based on your list:

Lemartes
5x DC/jump packs

5x VAS/jump packs - 2x power fist, 1x power weapon, meltagun

10x tactical Marines/power fist, meltagun - rhino
10x tactical Marines/power fist, meltagun - rhino
10x assault Marines/jump packs, power fist, plasma pistol

Furioso dreadnaught/extra armor, heavy flamer - drop pod

1395 points total.

Honestly, if you want to use the Marine dex there are many parallels you can take advantage of. A furioso makes a wonderful Ironclad, the Death company are excellent assault troops, and the veteran assault squad can become Vanguard veterans. That's if you want to abandon the Blood Angels aspect. Otherwise, I don't have enough experience with that dex to give you any constructive advice.

Thanks a bunch!

I would take two attack bikes with multi meltas for the last 100 points. I will probably use this very list in a tournament next month. It's very tight. The only change I would make, which you might want to consider as well is to drop the jump packs in exchAnge for a rhino with the 10 man assault squad. I have to do this because I don't have enough Marines with jump packs. Three rhinos will also give more cover for the jump infantry to hide behind.
