Here's the list I've got now. I want to spend 105 more points and I'm totally stumped.

HQ

Librarian (Might of Heroes, Shield of Sanguinius) w/Jump Pack (NOTE: Hangs out with the Sanguinary Guard)

Elites

3 Sanguinary Priests w/Jump Packs (NOTE: One for each assault squad, one for the Sanguinary Guard)

5 Sanguinary Guard w/Death Masks, 1 w/Power Fist, 1 w/Chapter Banner

Troops

10 Assault Marines w/Jump Packs, 2 w/Meltagun, Sergeant w/Power Fist

10 Assault Marines w/Jump Packs, 2 w/Meltagun, Sergeant w/Power Fist

Fast Attack

Baal Predator w/Heavy Bolter Sponsons, Storm Bolter

Baal Predator w/Heavy Bolter Sponsons, Storm Bolter

Easy and I'll get top marks for sure

Multi Melta Attack Bikes

I don't know... I'm pretty sure that Attack Bikes would critically weaken the "Descent of Angels" theme I'm trying to build here (the Baals are alright because at least they can Outflank, so they support a general theme of "Blood Angels coming from every freakin' direction, man!"). I've been warned about the dangers of having your army arrive on the board in too many different ways at too many different speeds.

If it helps, I could scare up up to 80 extra points by dropping the heavy bolter sponsons and storm bolters on my Baal Predators. I'm reluctant to do that, though: my Baals won MVP in my first ever Blood Angels game against Daemons, netting me a moral victory (the only unit that got taken out completely was a unit of Flesh Hounds torn apart by the Baal Predators loads and loads of dakka).

I run a very similar list and found that the MM Attack Bikes are really handy

My force was slightly different

Librarian JP
Sang Guard PF IP
2 Sang Priests (You really don't need the 3!!)
3 Squads of 10 ASM 2 Melta 1 PF
6 MM Attack Bikes

You could look at adding in dante? Drop a Priest and the 80 points and bam your there.

OR add another Sanguinary Guard Squad?

DOA, eh?

How about you make that Librarian into Dante?

Needs... More... Troops...!

Dropping the storm bolters and switching to heavy flamers on the Baals gives you almost enough points for a third Baal (5 short), which would be an easy solution.

Scout bikes with a locator beacon and melta bombs comes in at 100 points if nothing else. If you are going all-reserves, they aren't a good choice, but if the Baals start on the table, the scouts will probably live to bomb 1 vehicle and guide in some deep strikers with their beacon.

Could drop a priest and that would give you 180 points free to get a really tooled up vanguard vet squad in there.

That's what I think I'll do. 4 vets w/bolter and chainsword, 1 sarge w/twin lightning claws. If you throw out enough attacks (20 on the charge!) then you're bound to kill something.
