Here's 5 possible Blood Angels lists I can make with my current inventory of models. Each one adds up to between 1995 to 2000 points.

List 1:
-Commander Dante or Astorath
-10 Assault Terminators w/ Thunder Hammer & Storm shields
-5 Sanguinary Guard
-3 Sanguinary Priests w/ Jump Packs
-10 Assault Marines, Power Weapon, 2 Flamers
-10 Assault Marines, Power Weapon, 2 Flamers
-10 Assault Marines, Power Fist, 2 Meltaguns
-10 Assault Marines, Power Fist, 2 Meltaguns

List 1 puts a lot of emphasis in assault. Its downside is lack of shooting, which can be problematic against mech spam lists.

List 2:
-Sanguinor
-Honor Guard w/ Jump Packs, 4 Meltaguns
-2 Sanguinary Priests w/ Jump Packs
-10 Assault Marines, Power Weapon, 2 Flamers
-10 Assault Marines, Power Weapon, 2 Flamers
-10 Assault Marines, Power Fist, 2 Meltaguns
-10 Assault Marines, Power Fist, 2 Meltaguns
-10 Assault Marines, Power Fist, 2 Meltaguns
-10 Assault Marines, Power Fist, 2 Meltaguns

List 2 features 60 Assault Marines. It has decent number of Meltaguns and Blood chalices. Sanguinor's presence greatly boosts number of attacks.

List 3:
-Librarian w/ Jump Pack
-Honor Guard w/ Jump Packs, 2 Meltaguns
-10 Assault Terminators w/ Thunder Hammer & Storm shields
-Sanguinary Priest w/ Terminator Armour
-Sanguinary Priest w/ Jump Pack
-10 Assault Marines, Power Weapon, 2 Flamers
-10 Assault Marines, Power Weapon, 2 Flamers
-10 Assault Marines, Power Fist, 2 Meltaguns
-10 Assault Marines, Power Fist, 2 Meltaguns
-10 Assault Marines, Power Fist, 2 Meltaguns

List 3 is a hybrid of list 1 and list 2 with generous amount of Assault Marines, Meltaguns, and Blood Chalice while maintaining 10 Assault Terminators.

List 4:
-Commander Dante or Astorath
-2 Sanguinary Priests w/ Jump Packs
-10 Assault Terminators w/ Thunder Hammer & Storm shields
-10 Assault Marines, Power Weapon, 2 Flamers
-10 Assault Marines, Power Fist, 2 Meltaguns
-10 Assault Marines, Power Fist, 2 Meltaguns
-5 Scouts w/ Cloaks, Missile Launcher
-5 Devastators, 4 Missile Launchers
-5 Devastators, 4 Missile Launchers
-5 Devastators, 4 Missile Launchers

List 4 sacrifices Assault Marines for Devastators, 10 Assault Terminators, and Commander Dante. A cheap scout unit fills in the missing scoring units.

List 5:
-Librarian w/ Jump Pack
-2 Sanguinary Priests w/ Jump Packs
-10 Assault Terminators w/ Thunder Hammer & Storm shields
-10 Assault Marines, Power Weapon, 2 Flamers
-10 Assault Marines, Power Weapon, 2 Flamers
-10 Assault Marines, Power Weapon, 2 Meltaguns
-10 Assault Marines, Power Weapon, 2 Meltaguns
-5 Devastators, 4 Missile Launchers
-5 Devastators, 4 Missile Launchers
-5 Devastators, 4 Missile Launchers

List 5 is a variation of list 4. Traded a special character for a Librarian w/ Jump Pack and scouts for 10 Assault Marines.

Can I have the last list but with your snipers, your 4 melta honour guard, then chuck in either the extra priest with a jump pack or the termy one instead of the assault termies?

I like lists 3 and 5 the best

Well, Assault Marines have a hard time to deal with tougher creatures. Here is where Dev's or Assault Termies come in. I'd consider these lists.

@MFletch:
-Librarian, Jump Pack
-5 Honour Guards, 4 Meltaguns, Jump Pack
-3 Sanguinary Priests w/ Jump Packs
-10 Assault Marines, Power Weapon, 2 Flamers
-10 Assault Marines, Power Weapon, 2 Flamers
-10 Assault Marines, Power Fist, 2 Meltaguns
-10 Assault Marines, Power Fist, 2 Meltaguns
-5 Scouts, Cloaks, Missile Launcher
-5 Devastators, 4 Missile Launchers
-5 Devastators, 4 Missile Launchers
-5 Devastators, 4 Missile Launchers
Total 1945 points.

You can use the remaining 55 points on upgrades.

@wuestenfux:

Devastators are great against non-Necron armies.

2+/3++ FNP and Furious charge Assault Terminators are formidable!

I like the last list best, I'd drop the HG for some Vanguard vets (if you have them)

List 5 i reckon is the best. Have you considered making the librarian join the Termies? If you do that, you can save some points and get more meltaguns.

i agree that the last list looks best however i feel it is a bit light on priests

Wow, high approval rating for list 5. I'll give it a test run once I finished building my Terminators...

These are nice and original lists.

I am awaiting some more of your famous battle reports on this subject, SabrX !
