Just coming up with some ideas for my Blood Angels army and deciding where I want to go with it. One of my ideas was this:

Mephiston - 250

Sang Priest - 50

Librarian (Shield) - 100

5 Assault Troops, Meltagun - 165
in Las/Plas Razorback

Baal Pred (Heavy Bolter) - 145
Baal Pred - 115

1485

Basically everything moves forward with the Sang Priests spread out amongst the Razorbacks to grant Feel no Pain to Mephy and when any transports get popped.

Mephy is really good for this as it allows him to move up with the rest of the tanks forcing the opponent to decide whether to dedicate their anti-tank to him to
take him out (providing target saturation for the tanks) or focus on the tanks and allow Mephy to quickly move up the board and into his army.

Comes to 1465 at the moment so any ideas what to spent the rest of the points on or any general changes would be appreciated. One option I was thinking of
would be swapping the Baals for Vindis with Dozer Blades. Another would be to take of the Heavy Bolters on the Baals and one meltagun to add a librarian
for Shield purposes.

Personally I would say drop the priests.

When I run mephi I run him with a lib and a priest near by jsut so he gets some extra protection shield and fnp mainly the furious charge is not needed since he almost always strikes first and is strong as it is.

I would take a vindicator or a few hf mm speeders because those are really fun and can help mephi a lot because he will be all alone which isnt that great imo a bit of cc back up is always nice just to make sure the job gets doen and no one gets hurt too much.

Looks alright to me but a Librarian would be a much better benefit for shield power giving your vehicles 5+ cover save.

List updated to include a librarian for shield

One thing to consider: Drop the Baals and the Priest, take 3 Autocannon/Heavy Bolter Predators. Their range is comparable to your Razorbacks, and more vehicles is always better.
