I've got the Betrayal at Calth box, one Rhino, a Sicaran and a Fire Raptor.

Going to get another Rhino but other than that I don't know what add to my legion while we all wait for the next book to come out (hopefully with the BA rules).

It's hard to say. I play blood angels as well, I've added 3 rhino's a special weapon squad 5 more terminators 2 venators and 2 leviathans.

I think I will be adding a storm eagle and 2 fire raptors and a fell blade, after that god knows. I am hoping some info on our legion will be at the open day

There is no way of knowing how the BA will end up specializing, but the choices you've made so far seem solid.

So, anvillus pattern drop pod? i know i always say that but it is a good unit for the points, usually does it's job and even if it gets 'intercepted' the opponent will have levelled all his low-AP stuff at the pod (which has jink) by the time he can see whats inside.
I'm pretty confident that it'll be useful to you no matter what ROW you use or how the BA are focussed tactically.

Yeah, it's really hard to say with the Blood Angels. Their Primarch had wings and was known to be one of the best melee Primarchs. They were also known as a fast Legion- first to the fight kinda thing. We can see that in 40K with all the tanks being fast, the deep striking, and jump pack options for just about everything.

In 30K? Well, all the Legions so far have some kind of derivative squad of a current Legion squad. I.e., for the Sons of Horus, they have Justarian Terminators that are either a Command Squad or special unit of Terminators, and the Reaver Squad, which came from the Legion Destroyer squads. In addition, there is a Legion specific Rite of War for the Sons of Horus that changes the Force Organization chart around.

The Blood Angels could just go either way- units with Jump Packs or maybe fast vehicles. They won't have the Red Thirst, so the Death Company, focus on Sanguinary Priests, and Librarian Dreads will not be around. That kinda leaves a Sanguinary Guard style unit, and that's probably what we'll see. A unit with Jump packs, artificer armor, and power weapons. They'll probably get a rule similar to the Descent of Angels, where everything can be held in reserve and then deep strike- maybe the return of the deep striking Land Raider? Or, OMG, deep striking Fellblade? Pretty sure their force organization chart will center around fast attack troops (not Speeders or bikes/jet bikes) and elites with jump packs. Heavy Support might be like in the Sons of Horus- you need more Fast Attack choices then Heavy Support, and they will have to take a fast Rhino/Razorback. If any Legion were to get a fast Land Raider, I'd imagine it would be the Blood Angels.

Book Six was supposedly due 2015, and here we are on December 31st, 2015 with no book. Maybe Q1 2016? I hope so! The book I'm really looking forward to: Book 7, Retaliation Prospero and the Space Wolves!
