So I'm putting together a competitive blood angels list and this is what I've got so far. Any ways to improve this would be great.

Angels Fury Spearhead Force:
- Stormraven Gunship - TL Multi-Melta, TL Assault Cannon - 200
- Stormraven Gunship - TL Multi-Melta, TL Assault Cannon - 200
- Stormraven Gunship - TL Multi-Melta, TL Assault Cannon - 200
- Tactical Squad (10) - Heavy Flamer, Flamer, Veteran Sergeant; Power Sword, Teleport Homer - 180
- Tactical Squad (10) - Heavy Flamer, Flamer, Veteran Sergeant; Power Sword, Teleport Homer - 180
- Tactical Squad (10) - Heavy Flamer, Flamer, Veteran Sergeant; Teleport Homer - 165

Baal Strike Force:

HQ:
- Librarian Dreadnought - ML2, Meltagun, Drop Pod - 220

Elites:
- Furioso Dreadnought - Frag Cannon, Meltagun Drop Pod - 165
- Furioso Dreadnought - Drop Pod - 160

Troops:
- Scout Squad (5) - All with CCWs - 55
- Scout Squad (5) - All with CCWs - 55

Fast Attack:
- Drop Pod - 35
- Drop Pod - 35

- 1850

The scouts ride in the drop pods and the tacticals ride in the stormravens (as is required by the formation). The tactical squads will be combat squadding with the sergeant taking the flamer and heavy flamer to the front lines and the group of 5 normal guys going after objectives.

Any ideas on how to improve this?

What do you start on the board with? 2x drop pods of scouts and a dread drop pod? Sounds like that could get shot off the board reeeal quick unless you're really good at hiding them.

Not really sure how competitive the librarian Dreadnought is but it always sounds like it would be fun to use

Angel's Fury arrives turn 1.

Well it can roll to arrive turn 1

Could be interesting. I'd swap at least one of the ravens armaments for a missile launcher and plasma cannons or lascannons. (Current meta leaning towards lascannons, as well as personal dice results involving plasma.)

So yeah, the angels fury has to have the tac squads start in the stormravens in reserves. The entire formation gets rolled for at once and can be rolled for from first turn with re-rolls. It then allows anything else i have deepstriking to deepstrike without scatter and can charge the same turn, so long as its within range of two of the teleport homer models (or gunships with the teleport homer inside). I won't post the specific rules or include the range on the no scatter charge deepstrike effect as im not sure on the forum rules for that.
