Hey all!
I'm going to try working on a hobby long dream of getting a Blood Angel army on the tabletop. Ive loved these guys since the 2nd edition Angels of Death codex, but for some reason never got anything of consequence together, but this is an attempt to change that! For the first 500pts I was going to use things Ive accumulated over the years and was going to start with:
Chaplain, crozius, bolt pistol, digital weapons
x5 Death Company, hand flamer, Drop Pod w/ storm bolter
x10 Tactical Marines, sgt w/power fist, plasma pistol, flamer and plasma cannon, Drop Pod w/Deathwind Launcher

Chaplain rides with the DC, Tactical squad splits in half, 5 with plasma cannon camp and shoot, the other 5 with flamer and sgt pod down and burn/punch things.

Anyways, good start? Its not for a tourney so, theres that haha
Thanks!

You'd need two tact squads to stay battleforged/use the baal strike force.

Aside from that I'd really drope the gear on the sarge: it's a whooping 50 points on a 1 wound model with a simple 3+ save. You'd better drop that hand flamer and the deathwind launcher pod.

Here's a better list:

-Chaplain, stock with JP. 105pts

- 5 death company with a PF (don't give it to the sarge, you want to sit in the back so when it comes to pile in they can get to hit, not die in a challenge) and a power sword. 155pts

-5 man tac squad with a Plasma cannon and a rhino. 130pts
-5 man tac squad with a flamer and a drop pod. 110pts

Everyone starts on the field barring the flamer squad. PC-Tac holds the backfield while their possibly Obj-sec rhino goes around moving 12'' and then flat-outing 12'' more (virtually half the board) Chaplain makes the rapetrain even stronger.

I set the list i made up in the Unbound format, which is why i only had the one Troops, sorry I didnt mention that!

Also, are you equipping the DC with jump packs as well?

Unless you have something very specific in mind unbound isn't worth it. In the BA's case, the bonus of using the specific detachment far outweight any shenanigans you can generally pull. Also, you have the minis to use the BSF, just split squads.

Played two games tonight against Harlequins, one loss/one win. It didn't go so bad really. I will definitely look into the Baal Strike Force going forward. Ive got Captain Karlaen and a set of BA Assault Terminators on the way, so that'll help!

Thanks for the suggestions!
