The guys I'm going to be playing with play a 2150 game most of the time. I like that idea because it gives me a lot of versatility
I have 2 baal preds a storm raven a furioso and 3 rhinos
I have 30 tac marines and 10 sanguinary guard and 10 death company
I have dante mephiston and lemartes
I will be getting in 3 sang priests and hopefully sanguinor next week and hopefully another set of sanguinary guard to make a total of 15

I guess my question is, what do I need to make the list competitive and what do I have I can or can't use and the majority of the time I'll be playing against an infantry heavy Imperial guard with executioner tanks. I'm more than a little lost at this stage as to what works well with blood angels now. I have 20 of the assault marines unassembled but 10 have JP's on but I could try and fix that. BUT, anything you guys can advise on would be amazing.

10 man assault squads 2x melta will be your best friend. Also try to model up a librarian with a jump pack as well.

I would use the storm raven to bus the death company around with a Reclusiarch as well. Make sure you have a hammer and a power fist in the DC squad.

Thats about what I have for you.

Does the list look decent? What about he JP assault guys? Worth it to not put the JP on?

Magnatize and you wont have to worry about if its worth it.

Agreed, magnetizing is a great idea.

You should develop a plan to turn those Tactical Marines into Assault Marines, and Rhinos into Razorbacks.

BAH! I have 30 ASSAULT marines MY BAD! I traded my tac marines for the rest of the assault guys I needed. So I have THIRTY ASSAULT MARINES. (My apologies for that flub.) What advice could you guys give on what I have so far? Or what to build into in the future?

Pick if you want to go DoA or Mech. It seams like you are already set up for mech so use the raven to transport the DC and Dread and put the assault squads (5-6 man) in Razorbacks with the Preds behind. You will need more models though to get to 2150. However if you are facing a troop heavy army a DoA list is not a bad way to go. No Mech, just lots and lots of Assault Marines (at 2150 you can run 4-5 10 man squads with equip) with Meltas (and maybe a flamer or 2) You can DS the raven with the DC and dread too if you still want to use them. Either way you are going to need some more models to do either list any justice.

Good example of a stormraven style list. this one is 1850

Is there anything you could swap the speeders for? I have 15 sanguinary guard and the sanguinor on the way and I only have 1 raven =/

More assault marines, maybe... Honestly, Sanguinor isn't that great (Mephiston and Librarians are far better), and Sang Guard I just don't like. Most people will drop them quick with low AP fire, unlike assault terminators. Baal pred mesh well with ravens as well

I was going to buy 2 more of the baal preds and get 10 assault marines in time. I would like 2 librarians as well XD do you know what the ideal librarian is? I was looking at getting gabriel seth and loading him in with a termie librarian and 5+ assault terminators in a land raider but I didn't really know that the best option for a librarian was and how well that scenario would play out.
