Hoping to get some Feedback on this list that I'm thinking of running at 1500pts.

Blood Angels:

Librarian - 100pts

1 x Sanguinary Priest w Jump pack and Power Axe - 90pts

10 man Assault Squad - 225pts
2 x Meltas
Sergeant w Power Weapon

10 man Assault Squad - 225pts
2 x Meltas
Sergeant w Power Weapon

10 man Assault Squad - 240pts
2 x Meltas
Sergeant w Power Weapon + Infernus Pistol
Drop Pod

5 man Devestator Squad - 130pts
4 x Missle Launchers

5 man Devestator Squad - 130pts
4 x Missle Launchers

Aegis Defence Line w Quad Gun - 100pts

Total: 1240pts

Grey Knight Allies:

Coteaz - 100pts

Henchmen Warband: - 155pts
3 x Plasma Cannon Servitors
2 x Jokaero
6 x Warrior Acolytes with Boltguns

Total: 260pts

Combined Total: 1500pts

The General Strategy I had in my head was for Coteaz, the squad of Henchmen and the Devastators to firebase up behind the Aegis Line holding a backfield objective while everything else moves up to get to grips with the enemy. Drop Pod would come in first turn potentially combat squading and melta something to death ensuring first blood and tying up some of the enemies army while the rest of the Assault Marines move in.

Librarian would roll prescience and use it on one of the squads of Devs while manning the Quad Gun and Coteaz would use Prescience on his squad of Henchmen. His I've been expecting you ability should also be quite handy to deter things from deepstriking too close to my rear lines and the re-roll to seize for you and the enemy is always great.

Any thougts on the list? Happy to change anything really as it's all just theory at the moment.

Any thoughts?

Think you might have got your maths a bit off. The GK detachment cost 410 points. If the BA cost 1100 that will be over points. But im sure you can find a way to shave off 10 points.
TBH i dont really see the point. Cortez is good but i can see better ways to spend 410 points in the BA codex like more devastators, Baal Preds, Storm Ravens or a Dreadnaught. I suppose it does give you more scoring units for objectives. If you really want a Henchman detachment would go with either 2 squads of

3 x Plasma Cannon Servitors
2 x Jokaero
5 x Warrior Acolytes with Boltguns

and drop the bolt guns. Or 2 squads of

Henchmen Warband: - 155pts
3 x Warrior Acolytes with Plasma Guns and Carapace Armour
7 x Warrior Acolytes with Boltguns
Chimera with Multilaser + Heavy Bolte

I've just updated the list above after getting quite a bit of feedback. Let me know what you think

Coteaz is in the list because there's nothing in the BA codex that I can just park behind the Aegs Line and can combine a scoring option with that much fire power. Coteaz also give me the ability to castle up in a corner if facing a drop pod or daemon list and get free shooting at anything that decides to drop within 12 inches of him. Re-rolling the ability to sieze is just icing on the cake.

Any thoughts on the updated list?

remember your Inquisition force will only ever be an ally of convenience for the Blood Angels, so they won't benefit from any of the things Battle Brothers would....

One sanguinary priest seems light for 30 assault troops. Well, I guess the drop pod guys just aren't going to get any love. In general, I think it's more effective to drop in a shotgun furioso, but that's my experience.

In general, I think that for the blood angels, 3 attack bikes with multimeltas are more effective than 5 men with 4 missile launchers. The attack bikes can frag heavier targets more quickly, they benefit from FNP since they will be up with the priest, and they can jump in on the assaulty fun!

I find my devastators gathering dust with the BA due to the availability of fast tanks and multi melta attack bikes.

I might also note that two meltas do not guarantee a kill. Nor do drop pod assault marines directly tie anything up. There is that one turn where the opponent can shoot them, move away, etc. And they are on foot. It might actually be more effective to use descent of angels. I'd have to play test it a few times.
