I'm going to be playing this against my friend who plays Imperial Knights allied with Imperial Guard, but I think this could be decent against a variety of lists. I don't know if the maxed out death company squad is the best idea, but I have the models and at least want to try it out. I was thinking my librarian could drop in with either the DC or Vanguard and cast quickening and charge with the relic jump pack to prevent overwatch, I'll probably also give him Unleashed Rage to buff either unit. I'm planning to give my Librarian Dread Wings of Sanguinius and Shield of Sanguinius and have him go after a knight with the Vanguard Vets and Sanguinary priest dropping into help. My Company Vets with the Captain have been my most reliable unit through all of 8th edition and I expect them to do a lot of damage while capturing objectives. Any comments or advice would be welcome.

IIRC Sanguinary Priests can't take jump packs in the new codex. Check the unit entry closely!

If they could take it in the index, which I assume they could, they can still take it but use the most up to date pricing for it.

Your list looks fine, but I would still change some things.

In my opinion your Devastators, Company Veterans and Vanguard Veterans have way too much equipment. You are paying almost 600 points for 3 units with 5 wounds each. Two Librarians are also quite an investment. Consider replacing them with Mephiston and another character. Razorbacks are good, but having only one in your list makes it a really easy target. I would either add more vehicles or drop it (together with the Tactical Squad). I am also not huge fan of plasma weapons on characters. Perhaps give your Captain a melta weapon or a storm shield instead. He also loves thunder hammers.

I really like the huge number of scout squads and the large Death Company unit (perhaps give them a couple of power swords) .

It's not in the codex but the Index allows him and the Company Vets to take jump packs

Thanks for the feedback I'm thinking I could maybe replace the devastators with another razorback. I have all of the blood angel's dreanoughts and sanguinary guard, so I'll play around with a few ideas and maybe replace and vanguard vets with one of those. The Company Vets with that Captain though have won me so many games this edition so I can't bring myself not to include them, especially since I made such awesome looking models for them. I'm also gonna try out the 2 librarians for my first game before replacing any, probably with Mephiston, since I'm planning to kitbash a cool model for him, or even the Sanguinor. A few power swords in the Death Company is also something I considered, but I think it's best to go with most attacks I could get out of them.
