This is a nice list and i think it will fair quite well in this brackets because from what i've seen lists are usually focused around a LR or a couple of lighter vehicles and with 2 power fists and 2 sets of melta bombs i don't think i'd have too much trouble unless the dice gods have deserted me.
And since everything is jump infantry i dont think much is going to be able to run them around the board. I was thinking about switching out 1 hand flamer for a meltagun and another Hand flamer and the melta bombs for an infernus pistol.

Tell me what you think for the points bracket.

I think its quite cool,for a friendly game it would be a good firend maker

Thats what i was going for =). Very few tournaments run 500 points so i wanted something quite small but hard hitting. Needed something so that if something big comes along i wont be scuppered. My friends do have a few LR's and if they put one in a 500 point list i don't wanna have to take punishment for too long xD.

Hopefully get a few cool games in at my local store too.

Cool,remember,have the lance power for your librarian,if you are planning on getting one

For friendly games this is probably never gonna be an issue, but I see only one troops choice. Can you combat-squad the team into two legal troop choices if you need to at this point level?

Do the locals play with a different set of rules, or is this for one of the 1000pt team lists?

/Facepalm
I forgot. I shall remedy the situation!

Spilit the squad into two to give me the legal force organisation.

Just out of curiosity. If you were to have kept them as one squad, You can only attach one independent character to a squad. So if you put the sanguinary priest on, then you can't put your HQ on... At least both squads have a leader now.

I would personally drop the PF on the sanguinary priest and give x2 meltaguns to the assault marines, that's 1 per squad. I would drop the meltabombs total and try to add a weapon to someone.

All in all I would just drop the sanguinary priest entirely, you're spending almost HQ type points on a model with two wounds. You could get a lib for the price of 100, and your only a little ways away from affording a jumpack on him if you drop the Meltabombs.

Haha. Just my opinion if your looking for an even stronger 500 point army. Not that you can field two HQs in a 500 point battle. But for 100 points there's other buffers to your squads that would be more beneficial.

Remember that since since Assault Marines are ALWAYS CC, they tend to lose numbers very fast. Even though it's a Blood Angels list, Tactical marines are still a staple point in almost any Space Marine Army.

I just thought of perfection!!

Drop the Sanguinary priest, make the reclusiarch a chaplain with a jump pack instead, and field a librarian with a jump pack as your HQ, Chaplains are only Elites. and you save 30 points, enough to give the lib a Jumpack. Basically I'm asking you to switch your sanguinary guard to a chap, and add a lib w jump pack since that's a really really strong HQ with it's powers. For how cheap it is I mean.

That's a legal 500 point list looking at basically two HQs heh.

Page ref please? AFAIK, this is untrue.

uhh... As far as I know you can only have one HQ attached to a squad. You can't put a reclusiarch with a sanguinary and hope to get the reroll to hit with the Sanguinary.... Though since the blood chalice is a 6inch (non-unit) buff, you could have that on your reclusiarch.

I guess I might be wrong, but I was always told "no" when I was trying to add multiple buffing characters to a squad. If this is not the case then I believe that would be one hell of a group.

PAGE 48 of the big grey book. "They can join other independent Characters though, to form a powerful multi-character unit!"

You are right they can join!!! That's pretty cool, for the price still the sanguinary priest might not be worth it until high point value teams. I really like the idea though, now that I'm looking at it.

Also I really love reclusiarchs, my brother uses a reclusiarch terminator now. It's just I love the BA HQs, and fielding a main one would be a larger concern for me, and I would just field the reclusiarch as a normal chaplain considering he has all the special rules.

I could see this becoming a very strong group in higher points. Add leaders to units, get transports, add troops. and have your awesome assaulters deep strike on top of people.

I have made bigger gaffes... no worries.

Where do you want to expand towards?
