hello, im looking for a competitive blood angels roster for 1k pts
here is my vision of it


so im gonna use razors for cover, librarian goes in one of razors, he dont have preferred enemy power because no points to attach him to 10 man assault squad;
of course id like to save points from priest jumppack, but i think FNP is really needed for sang. guards so they get it no matters how fast razors are dead;
also, maybe only 2 ABikes is not impressing, but there is no points for taking predator, and as it seems like assault army, i dont wanna spend 35 pts for razor weapon upgrades

So id like to hear your comments about improving roster or changing decent part of it
Only thing I dont wanna change is 10 man assault squad

Decent list for 1000. I would run the Libby in a Rhino, can't Psychic inside a Razorback. You lose the Heavy Bolter but it isn't as important as using the Libby 100% of the time.

The 20 points saved would juice the Sgt. in the Rhino up to a fist and you could put dozer blades on the two vehicles. really tough to lose half your vehicles to terrain...maybe I am the only one, but I cannot cross the line painted on the Imperial Highway without breaking a track.

Another option would be to drop the JP on the priest, put him in the Rhino or Razor and take the 20 and 25 from the savings and add a HB Attack Bike...then your back to the same Dakka.

I run about the same list but without the Sang Guard. I use the 200 points for another Raz with T-L LC, and a 5-man assault squad, melta, Sgt w PW for sitting on objectives and shooting. Left over points I add Assault Marines to the Rhino.

Great idea with rhino+librarian, ill use it
But rhino is 50 pts, so only 5 pts difference between rhino and razorback

Probably better to drop the razors. 2x AV11 tanks with little firepower just don't add that much to this list.

If you swap those two units for a second full assault squad instead, you save 55pts, enough to get your libby a jump pack and to throw some gear on the sanguinary guard. They need a powerfist, and the banner boost them (and attached IC's) a lot. Infernus pistols are good too, but with meltas on both assault squads and on the bikes, you should be set for melta at this level. Power weapon on the priest is also nice, he usually hits and wounds on 3's with 4 attacks, pretty nice if you can find the pts.

Can you explain why guards need fist?

Just i wonder if this way ill be able to get my marines right to hand-to-hand fight, because its harder to get cover save,
well atleast librarian can give 5++ and i have less KP

Yep, sorry. Don't know what I was thinking. Sgt. in the Rhino a Meltabomb with the left over five.

With a few spare models you can switch up your list and test out the value of the priest in the vehicle as opposed to JP.

Take the JP off the priest and gve him a lightning claw, upgrade the Sgt. in the Rhino to a Fist and give the Sgt. in the Razor a Meltabomb. Then Priest and Libby ride in Rhino.

I have had a lot of fun in 1000 points with just the two vehicles. If your opponent is shooting your vehicles they are not shooting your 10 man Assault Squad or your Guard.

You could use a little more anti-tank. Usually you take a MSU Assualt squad so you can grab a nasty razorback. And I wouldn't constitute Heavy Bolters nasty on a razorback.

Drop the PW's from the Assault squads and give the SG a PF or get a Predator.

I'd also drop Sanguine Sword for Shield of Sanguinius.

Seems like i need to drop 1 AS to take predator
here is modified version of roster

its rhino choice because then 2nd AS would be without any features
Still not sure if it is a decent army

I think it is just ok. I'd prefer more troops. Also I'm not sure what the point of your 5-man squad is: if you want it to sit objectives, you might as well take a unit of scouts; if you want it to help bust tanks (or assault), I'd switch it to a 10-man melta unit. What are your plans?

i thought to use them for carrying priest to others
actually assault squads not that power, this 5man is for rhino
