Edit: spelling

It doesn't look to me like you are using anything that the BAs are good at. It could be a normal marine list.

Edit: The list was moved, so I reworded.

Yeah I realised it was in the wrong one, can a mod please move it? Thanks,

Thanks for moving it

Yeah, what happens to your tac squads when they succumb to rage? i'm not sure, but i think its prohibitive to their effectivenes right?

They don't succumb to Rage, they simply gain Fearless and Furious Charge at the cost of ATSKNF.

This looks terrible. Tac squads are at best a necessary evil in a Vanillla marine army they have no place in a Blangel list. Assault squads are an infinitely better option.

Your libby is geared towards CC but with no CC unit to join him and no method to get across the board except walking.

The dread doesn't know whether it wants to be a long range shooter or up close in combat and won't be truely effective in either scenario.

The only thing I like is the Vindicator, because you can't go much wrong with them. But at this point level I'm not convfinced it is necessary and even that could be points better spent elsewhere.

So overall I would literally keep nothing from your list.

Well that really shoots my plan down. I'm simply building this out of what I have at the moment, and I only have 1 5-man Assault Squad.

So essentially you just wanted to play Blood Angels instead of normal space marines despite not really having anything related to Blood Angels in your army?
Just stick to vanilla SM until you get some furioso's, lots of assault troops and razors/rhinos.

Maybe I should just post a brief list of everything BA I have

JP Captain
Terminator Chaplain
Libby

5 Sang Guard
Furiso Libby (Can be converted to regular Dread)
5 Assault Termies
10 Sternguard

5 Scouts
10 Tac Marines
10 Tac Marines
5 Assault Marines
10 Death Company
DC Dread

Land Raider
Vindictator
Dreadnought (Can be converted to Furiso Libby)

Get 5 more assault marines and 2 Rhinos and you would have a decent if not impressive 1k point blood angel squad.

Term Reclusiarch w/Assault terms in Land Raider with EA/MM
2 x5 man Assault Squad 2x Melta Guns, in Rhinos
Furioso Libby to give shield and Run behind LR.

Not amazing, but not terrible either.

i assume you are entering the doubles tournement in brighton gw, see you there

I think your list needs some assult troops aswell.
possibly if you dont have them or means of getting them you could utilise transport in some other way.
