Hi, this is my first Blood Angel army and i need some Critique on my army... Keep in mind that they are a Jump Pack army, with only one Non jump pack unit : My Attack Bike Squad
HQ
Company Captain- Lighting Claw, Plasma Pistol, Jump Pack, Melta Bombs- 165 Points
Elites-
Veteran Assault Squad (10) - 2 Lighting Claws (Not a pair), Sergeant with Power Fist - 350
Troops-
Assault Squad (5) – Sergeant with Power fist- 165
Assault Squad (5) – Sergeant with Power fist and Melta Bombs- 170
Fast Attack-
Attack Bike Squadron- 3 Bikes- 150
Heavy Support- None
Total: 1000 Points
At first i wanted a 2000 point army, but then i realized that would cost A LOT of $$$...so I went with a 1000 point army, like my cousin suggested.

What do the attack bike have, HB or MM?

I personally think you have a lack of troops. Only 10 men altogether is pretty low.

And the bikes judgiing from their points costs are armed with MM.

Which raises up another thing, they are the scariest thing in your list, 3 relentless MM with a 36" range? (factoring in movement) Must die...

And in hte GW rules of 3's. If it's worth taking one, take three, you will not be disappointed.

For how much the veteran squad costs, youre better off making your Assault squads into groups of 10 with 2 meltas, melta bombs for the sarge and a power weapon. 230 per squad, 310 if you include in a sanguinary priest with a jump pack. (if you drop the melta bombs you can replace the captain with Mephiston, who is a serious powerhouse)
The captain would be better suited if replaced by a Reclusiarch or a librarian- with the way the list would work, I would go for the reclusiarch just for the fact that he is a force multiplier- being able to reroll misses when you charge with 30ish attatcks really ramps up the lethality of a squad

Umm are those Vanguard Vets? Arent they fast attack?
