This is my first Blood Angels list. Are there obvious improvements that can be made? Any advice is greatly appreciated. (This is also for casual play, so the 2 points over isn't a big deal)
(502 points)
Lib (100)

....why no mephiston its pretty good but you could dump 4 ass marines, give them an almost free razorback, add meltas to the squads and leave the rest of the points to add fancy stuff  though if you dont ant tanks then I would try to find points in giving the libs jump packs as if you face eldar there's little chance of the ass squads moving over 6" so, to recap: moar melta moar jump pack less men

don't use rhinos :(
Use the jump pack marines!
At 500 points, you want to just field as many bodies as possible...
a good army would be something like this -
HQ - Librarian w/ jump pack (sanguine sword + unleash rage) - 125 pts
Troops - 10 man Assault squad (2x meltas + fist) - 235 pts
Troops - 5 man Assault squad (1x melta + fist) - 135 pts
puts you at 495 points... give one of your sergeants melta bombs to make up the difference.
Blood Angels aren't great at less than 1000 points IMO... you just need too many things that you can't fit into that points level.

I'd disagree, the lower the points, the more dakka you need
hence why you should take razor backs

Either that, or you could do something ridiculous like put them all in drop pods for free.

Are you playing any special rules? Is it the usual FoC?
Meltas are not so important at 500 pts.
You need to squeeze the greatest number of attacks into your list, so two librarians are not able to create enough damage unless there are big targets to take out.
I think you'll want a priest and at this points range I think you will want him equiped

No need for two librarians. You need a priest to extend the life of all your dudes, especially at this point level, because the enemy won't have much to stop FNP.
Librarian - 125
Jump pack, unleash rage, shield of sang
Sang Priest - 90
Jump pack, power weapon
Assault squadx6 - 153
Melta, Power fist
Assault squadx6 - 128
Melta
TOTAL: 496
2 meltas, a fist for walkers, 3 total ignoring armor weapons.
All on 14 jump pack FNP bodies.
Jump around together and

I like how I didn't even finish my message, don't blame me, it was the end of the work day!
Anyway, for tactics I would jump around together and use whatever weapon is needed to get the job done. Near the end you can split up to finish squads off and claim any objectives.
