Well got inspiration to start working on big pile of firstborn(like over 100) i have. Secured myself indomitus box in plastics and will get sanguinary guard box. Goal isn't fully optimized list as locally people don't generally go for full on optimized anyway but don't want to be pushover either. Am limited on models though. I have basic dreadnoughts, land speeder or two i think and big pile of bolter/special weapon/heavy weapon models plus random first born characters. Also think 5 or 10 death company. From my incomplete 30k ba force could appropriate assault squad if need be and relic terminators.

I'd consider dropping the DC upgrade on the Captain and leave him standard and then run him as warlord with your Sang Guard so they can get their +1 to hit in combo with his re-roll 1's. Chapter Masters are excluded from the Chapter Command rule so you can include both If you so desire.

I'd also trade one or both of the Bladeguard Ancient or Judiciar for one of your Land Speeders to give you something to score Engage or Relentless assault with. Not bad platforms for a MM either.

Definitely think you need to find away to integrate some more JP melee units to take advantage of BA Chapter benefits. Right now you have a lot bolter marines that might struggle to make an impact.

My suggestions:

Captain:
Death Company upgrade is not worth it if nothing else in your army is from the DC.

Consider taking Hammer of Baal and The Imperium's Sword. You want those charge re-rolls and hitting on 3s without re-rerolls can suck alot.

Librarian:
5p Meltagun is worth it.
Gift of Forsight is great on him.

Primaris Captain:
Nothing wrong with per se, but I don't see much synergy in your list for him. A model I would actually drop for now.

Sanguinary Guard:
Consider getting more. They are some of your best units.

Devastator Squad:
A Drop Pod and more Multi-melta would greatly enhance their threat potential.
