I have a team game coming up soon, and my friend who plays Mechanized Guard (1,000pts each) and we're playing against Chaos Space Marines and Orks. He's bringing the all of the boom boom neccessary, however with only 1,000pts his total amount of bodies aren't where they should be. This is what I'm rolling in with. Let me know what you think.

HQ:
Reclusiarch - 160pts
-Jump Pack
-Melta Bombs

Reclusiarch - 160pts
-Jump Pack
-Melta Bombs

Troops:
Assault Squad (10) - 240pts
-2 Flamers
-Sgt has a Thunder Hammer & Plasma Pistol

Assault Squad (10) - 250pts
-2 Meltaguns
-Sgt has a Thunder Hammer & Plasma Pistol

Elites:
Sanguinary Priest - 95pts
-Jump Pack
-Power Weapon
-Melta Bombs

Sanguinary Priest - 95pts
-Jump Pack
-Power Weapon
-Melta Bombs

Well if you want max bodies you really do not need two HQs, especially at 1000 points. I would take 1 Libby with Unleash Rage(reroll to hit) and blood lance. Also I would drop the PW off of the priests, you want them to appear harmless as they can be singled out in the assault and then there goes your FnP.

I would also drop the TH down to a PF and cut out the plasma pistols, they arent really worth the 15 points. Then with the leftover points you can add another assault squad, I will assume with meltas.

New list would look like this(Kept the Reclusiarch in case you wanted to keep it over a libby):
HQ:
Reclusiarch - 155pts
-Jump Pack

Troops:
Assault Squad (10) - 225pts
-2 Flamers
-Sgt has a PF

Assault Squad (10) - 235pts
-2 Meltas
-Sgt has a PF

Assault Squad (10) - 235pts
-2 Meltaguns
-Sgt has a PF

Elites:
Sanguinary Priest - 75pts
-Jump Pack

Sanguinary Priest - 75pts
-Jump Pack

1000 on the dot, hope it helps

Not too much meat in this army list, for 1000pts you only have 14 guys. Lax35 suggestions are good.

My 1000pts was quite diverse with a tactical squad for holding down the fort and a vindicator for destroying vehicles/units/wandering space puppies

I find that BA work well when you mix shooty with close combat rather than just one or the other, but if you want a theme to your list then Lax's is the best your gunna get for the points

Lax35's list is good, especially if you deepstrike the entire force.

Blood Angels have access to some of the best named HQ choices, with that said you don't want to be to top heavy at 1000 points. My suggestion would be to stick with 1 HQ choice until you get to atleast 1500 points.
