I'm still fiddling around with list ideas for my Blood Angel army. Also, I've just received a blood angel battle force which brings my model count up too; 10 assault marines, 10 TAC marines, a Rhino, and 5 man death company.
So I put together this list, for casual games, and would like Dakka's thoughts.

Librarian - Force Staff + Jump pack = 125pt

Sanguinary Priest - Jump pack = 75pt

9x Assault Marines - Jump packs + Meltagun + Hand Flamer = 235pt
1x Sergeant - Meltabomb + Power Sword + Combat Shield

9x TAC Marines - Multi-Melta + Plasma Gun = 230pt
1x Sergeant
Rhino - Storm Bolter

Lemartes - Jump Pack = 335pt
5x Death Company + Jump Packs - 1x Hand Flamer

With the models you have, this looks pretty sound. I'd give the tac squad a rhino so they can keep up with the JP marines and add fire support from the midfield faster. I'd drop the epistolary upgrade on the libby, as you generate a warp charge each player turn, so can use SOS in the enemy turn and a Psychic shooting attack of your choice during your own turn, whilst saving 50 points which would get you a rhino and upgrade the ML to an LC.

This sounds like the way to go. It looks really solid either way.

Okay, thanks for the advice. I dropped my Epistolary to a Librarian, and gave my TAC squad a Rhino. I changed the Missile Launcher to a Multi-Melta, because if I want a Lascannon, I'd have to give up a hand flamer and I really want my two jump Pack units to have one. Of course, I plan on making the flamers switch-able, and if can pull it off, the Heavy Weapon marine also.

My tactical idea based off this list is to have my Assault Squad (w/Lib + priest) work their way up field flanked by my Rhino (if there's no objective in my field) and Deep-strike my DC with Lamartes using Descent of Angels.

Sounds, good, just remember to apply as much as possible of your force to a fraction of the enemy if you can, and use your greater mobility to choose when and where the fighting happens. Take them apart bit by bit, as you lack the numbers to face them Army to Army.
