Salvaging what models I actually have, I came up with something okayish. Now that payday is around the corner, what should I buy to improve, replace or even push it to 1,500, 1,750? Thanks everyone. Emperor protect.

oooooooooooohh nasty, i like it, very blood angely

With Blood Angels Tactical squads are kind of a waste.
A poor unit overall, so you should focus on Assault Squads as troops.

And Captain is also a bad HQ for us. I would remove Lemartes and take a Reclusiarch with Jump Pack, saves 120 points for you. Just the right amount for another ASM in Razorback.

A couple of things. Overall it's a bit random list but it will do.

Agree with soomemafia, remove lemartes and captain and add reclusiarch with jump pack
remove tactical and put on assault; discount on razorback and rhino make them more viable if you aim at a fast light mech, or keep them on jump pack/drop pod them for a fast assault

personally i don't like DC 'cause are too much expensive and you need to bring them close combat very quickly or are a waste of point; against most of the enemy, assault marine with a sanguinary priest are pretty similar use with lower point cost. However, don't DoA them: deploy them behind a huge cover and make them jump+run toward enemy. If you're a bit lucky you can assault on turn 2
Or put them on a LR to shield them until charge range.

someone use DC with bolter into a pod, to deploy them behind enemy lines, shoot the hell from bolter rapid fire, and then charge on the next turn; they are relentless so you can shoot 2x shot AND charge and that's better than +1 CC attack in my opinion (DC normally get 2A so not a waste of attack equipping them with bolter)
Fragioso is a little cheaper than DC dreadnaught, take a look on him (however, DC it's way too cool to be totally wasted )
