So, what do you think? I have a suspicion that Sanguinius might be a bit OP, but I'll leave that for you to decide. I'm working on special units and a ROW right now.

The legion rules are extremely good and give zero true downside. They're better than the world eaters by far it's not even a contest.

Red Thirst: Blood Angels get +1 Strength and +1 Initiative on the turn they charge. Whenever they destroy an enemy unit, they gain Fearless until the end of next turn but must pass a LD test to consolidate. At the beginning of the Assault Phase, any Blood Angel unit within 10" of an enemy it can hurt must attempt to charge it.

Rage plus fearless is too much.
