Hello everybody. I may not be new to the world of Warhammer 40k but I've never actually played apart from a few small skirmishes to learn the basics. For quite some time I've been collecting miniatures just as one of side-hobbies. I feel however it's high time I started some gaming, for now casually with friends or family members. My faction of choice are Dark Angels Space Marines as I love their style, appearance and background. Here's my attempt at creating my first list based on Dark Vengeance set. It's not full 1500 points (around 1300 but I don't have battlescribe with me atm) so I'd like some feedback. What else should I add or what should I remove. I want a balanced army that will be fun to play. I'm aiming at battallion detachment. For now my possible opponents are Orks, Craftworlds and probably CSM later on.

HQ
Company Master
relic bolter, relic sword

Librarian
force sword, plasma pistol

Elites
Company veterans x5
(Don't know how to equip them)
Terminator squad x5
assault cannon, storm bolters, powerfists or chainfists, sergant with powersword

Troops
Tactical squad x10
plasma gun and plasma cannon
Tactical squad x10
flamer and rocket launcher

Fast attack
Ravenwing bike squad x3

Transport
Razorback
dual lascannon

My idea of tactics: Drive master and veterans in a razorback to high priority targets, deepstrike terminators in 2nd turn as support for master, tactical squads for crowd control and keeping objectives, bikes for harassment. I think I should get a scout squad with sniper rifles and 5 more terminators for a solid 10-man squad maybe?
