Alright I am terrible at making lists that actually work so I am not actually going to try on this one, I am turning to you guys to help me put together a good 1500pt fast attack blood angels army. I want an army that hits fast and hits hard. Any and all advice is and will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I would assume that I would want to use Commander Dante as my hq and that way I can take Sanguinary Guard as troops, then I would take 2x 5 man squads of Sanguinary Guards. But that is just what I am thinking.

I would recommend adding a sanguinary priest to each squad or even going with an HG squad. Another recomendation would be to take a jump pack libby to increase one of the squads hitting power with Unleash Rage. Sang. Guard are amazing if you can increase there surviability. the lack of Invul saves is a weak point.

One big thing I have picked up from others is that if you are going to do a Jump List, go all out Jump. Mixing with Mech is very tricky. So think about adding VV squads and big 10 man Assualt squads.

Just a couple of sugestions. Do what you will with them!

Ok, you want fast and hard; heres a good FAST (as in everything moves 12" or more) list I like:

HQ
----
Mephiston - 250 pts

Elites
--------
1x Sang Priest - Jump Pack - 75 pts
Furioso Dread - Talons, melta, bolter - 125 pts

Troops
--------
10x Assault Marines - 2x melta, power fist - 235 pts
10x Assault Marines - 2x melta, power fist - 235 pts

Fast Attack
-------------
Land Speeder - MM/HF - 70 pts
Land Speeder - MM/HF - 70 pts

Heavy
-------
Stormraven - TLMM, TLAC, EA - 215 pts
Stormraven - TLMM, TLAC, EA - 215 pts

Total: 1490 pts

Tactics: Furioso goes in 1 raven, meph in the other. AM's normally deep strike. Speeders flank and pick off tanks (or hordes, they suck vs MC's). Ravens get shoved down your opponents throats to get the furioso and mephiston into combat ASAP. Normally you'll be into combat T2, T3 at the latest.

Building off of Zid's list:

HQ: Reclusiarch 130
EL: 5 TH/SS Terminators 225
EL: Furioso Dreadnought 125
TR: 5 Death Company Marines, 1 Power Fist 125
TR: Death Company Dreadnought with Blood Talons 125
TR: 10 Assault Marines, 2 Meltaguns, Power Fist 235
TR: 5 Assault Marines, 1 Meltagun, Power Fist 135
HS: Stormraven 200
HS: Stormraven 200

Total: 1500

I don't think it will be top-tier competitive, but it will definitely get in your opponent's face and wreck stuff. I like it more than Zid's because I have a prejudice against Stormravens that aren't completely full of cargo.

Alright I don't have my codex in front of me but I am assuming that when I field Mephiston I can field Assault Troops as one of my troop choices?

Assault Marines are always troop choices for the BA
