Hey guys new to playing blood angels, came up with this 2000 point list just wanted to know if its half decent, i more than likely will only be playing friendly games with friends and at the local store etc.

I had a few concerns with some of my selections so any feedback would be much appreciated. The main concerns i had are with the sanguinary guard and tanks/vehicles in the list im not sure how well it will work together. The list comes out to exactly 2000 points.



HQ
Librarian, jump pack, shield of sangunius and unleash rage
Reclusiarch

Elites
2x Sanguinary priests with jump packs
5 man Sanguinary guard, chapter banner, death masks (librarian)

Fast Attack
2x Baal Predators, assault cannons
2x Attack bikes, multi meltas

Troops

10 man Assault squad, 2x multi melta, PF (s. priest)
10 man Assault squad, 2x flamer, PW (s. priest)
5 man Assault squad, razorback, TL heavy bolter
6 man death company, PF, PW (reclusiarch)
5 man sniper scout squad

Heavy Support
Storm Raven, TL assault cannon, TL MM (death company)

I would drop the bikes for some more points in heavy support

I think the bikes are ok.
I have a problem with using the Raven as a transport.
Mainly because if you hover it will get destroyed most likely and if you don't, the DC won't get into CC.

Easiest solution is to drop the DC and Recs.
You should also drop the equipment on the S Guard (to keep them cheap) and for god's sake, give them a Priest so that they'll stand a slightest chance in making it to the CC.

Drop DC, get a third MM attack bike. Get rid of reclusiarch, he's useless. Upgrade heavy bolter on razorback. Drop sanguinary guard and get drop pod Sternguard led by Corbulo.

Basically for lists like this, I try to have zero armor units. All bikes and marines. Drop pod sternguard led by Corbs is hilarious.

Did you mean vanguard? Also if i have a priest with the guard should i also have the librarian with them? it sucks i can only take 3 elites options id like to have a priest with each assault squad

No, I meant sternguard. Never, ever use vanguard. Ever. I've used an SoS priest with the squad before, but its a toss up if that is good or not with all the ignores cover running around.

You don't need a priest in each squad. Two priests can cover two assault marines and the attack bikes while Corbs rides the pod.

I do use fragnoughts in my drop/jumper list. They are AV, but they also decimate any infantry, so...yeah.

ah ok. Thanks for the tips i think i might hammer this out in morning its late cant think straight

Remember than libbies can't cast benedictions when they arrive from reserve, but they CAN cast SoS on your opponent's shooting phase.
