What is the best 1500 points of blood angels for a tourny force, and how would you play it?

Wait for the new codex in a month and then ask is my advice.

Fexor has a point, but I suggest on going over to Jawaball's blog. I don't have a direct link, but googling it should provide some results for you. He is a highly competitive BA player, and has had a lot of success with his little bloodsuckers. His blog has both painting/modeling tips and tactics for those angry red marines!

Well, I'd take three Baal Predators, several Jump Packers giving some DC Marines,
led by a Chaplain.
Mephiston would be a nice add-on.

Nah, assault squads are overpriced in the current codex. Stick with tactical squads, go mech, and use those rhinos to screen for Veteran Assault Squads.

Mephiston is too expensive and not worth the points in 5th edition. That said Andrew Church got 6th place at the UK GT Heat with Mephiston in a 1500 point list.

I think Lemartes is a great choice for your HQ plus you'll want a DC (7-8 strong) with jump packs. I would then take two full tactical squads both with lascannon, meltagun and power fists in rhinos. Next take two Baal predators with HB sponsons. Any points you have left over can go towards MMABs. A vindicator would be useful as well.
