Looks nice and fun at 1500, will it just melt to grav though?
1500 only, so not many parts, but whats the worst part of the small list?
Lt and Cap in a razorback each.
Would it be lazy to bump to 2000 with mainly duplicating everything? (1 more razorback, 1 more plasma tac, 1 more 3x speeders, 1 bodyguard vets).
Anything obvious to replace?

Dark Angels Battalion
Hq 160:
Captain - combiPlas,Chainsword
Lt - stormBolter,Chainsword

Troops 440:
4times TacticalSquad - 5man combiPlasSergeant + PlasmaGun+ 3×bolters

Fast 420:
2times LandspeederSquad - 3×multiMeltas

Transport 480:
4 Razorback - Twin Lascannon

In modern 40k, grav is the LEAST of your worries across the table. It's nowhere near as spooky as it was in 7th.

I should point out that none of what you've got there is really competitive at all. Razorbacks are overcosted for what they do, and honestly you'd get more mileage out of a Chaplain (or better yet, an Interrogator-chaplain) than you will out of a Captain. Tactical squads are basically worse Intercessors, although if you're going for a non-Primaris theme with the list by all means leave them in. You might consider swapping at least some of the plasma weapons for meltas though; the anti-tank firepower they provide will usually be better than a few plasma shots. The Land Speeders are generally not as good as Attack Bikes, and they don't have Core (not that that matters much since your buff characters are walking/riding in transports).

I was playing with this idea a while back, the current iteration looks like:

++ Total: [99 PL, 12CP, 1,995pts] ++

Created with BattleScribe

Put the bladeguard in the Impulsor, infiltrate onto an objective, park heavy intercessors on two more, then send Azrael and both sets of Hellblasters (20 Rapid Firing Plasma gunners with rerolls and a 4++ vs ranged is kind of mean - if I were actually playing this list I'd proabably drop some Hellblasters for something else) Apothecary Selfless Healer the Azrael Hellblaster Bomb.

If you're trying to stay Firstborn that works too, but Primaris can do DA themes pretty well.
