This is my standard Blood Angel units I want to run, and it clocks in at 850 Points, leaving me 1250 to fill with guard.
What can you suggest to me to help me improve my list? My main opponents will be Ultramarines and Grey Knights, with next to 0 flying vehicles (Because of their $$ cost we don't use them) so what can you suggest to me? Thanks for your time

The MM can only snap fire.
Can I recommend 10 sternguard with say 8 combimeltas and 2 heavy flamers.
Then another drop pod with honour guard and plasmas and the librarians. This means you have 3 killer FNP infantry units with combat squadding(also a librarian with lance, for example is pretty handy as well, though prescience is pretty great to, you may need shield so I would use lance)
Give the librarians terminator armour.

I really like IG aeroplanes and blob squads. This will work well with BA, with your ICs to boost blobs and stormravens to go with the flyers.

Avoid multi-meltas in infantry squads, as 24" range Heavy weapons they're way too easy to avoid. Take regular melta weapons or plasma guns instead.

I don't see any real problems here; the biggest issue is that you've spend 850pts on twenty-three models and a delivery system, seriously cutting back on your Guard's ability to field numbers and artillery. I'd advise cutting back on the volume of combi-weapons, since they're only one-use and they pack too many points together into units that at the end of the day are no faster or tougher than an ordinary Tactical squad.
