This list has a lot going for it, like how the Special vehicles are taken in pairs.

I think the only thing I'd change is to drop an attack bike for more scouts to make use of that precision shots rule vs. enemy special weapons.

To anyone else thinking about starting BA, this is a great example of a solid competitive Blood Angels list for 1850.

More scouts would be great for sniping out weapons but their whole purpose is to sit back on a backfield objective while the rest of the army zooms ahead.

I just realized I forgot to post tactics as well so here we go:
The assault marines use the baal preds and vindis as mobile cover to protect them till they can get where they need to be (tieing up enemy shooting and take/contest back and midfield objectives). The whole army rides the edge of a flank and punish gunlines if going second or deploys centrally with the baal preds up front and the vindis on either side to form a small barrier for the assault marines and bike to hide behind.

EDIT: spelling

3 models with T5 W2 3+/5++ -> sweet.
Libby with them is great, but I'd rather have Divination with them. Those MM's are your best AT and it would be a shame to miss with them.

Vindicators in a CC-army? Maybe one as a support but I'd leave the other one at home. Just risky with the large blast.

Invest a few points in:
- another Flamers in Assault Squads (Meltas with spare)
- power weapons for Priests.

The vindicators are great for BA since they are fast which means they can be mobile and target units that are more then 8" from friendly units. 2 vindicators is just for redundancy because one will get focused and die too easily.

I agree div is great I just couldn't list that I wanted to take div on battlescribe and didn't want to type it out since I'm lazy

With 2 flamers the assault squads might win combat first round since they were able to take out a decent chunk of whatever infantry out and would leave them vulnerable during my opponents turn. I would love to slap power weapons on the priests but they are already expensive enough so meltabombs will have to do.
