Hi all,
So a brief background before diving into the army lists. I've been in the hobby about 18 years, and collected a decent amount of Space Marines in that time. Never particularly attached to any legion/chapter. At the behest of my four year old son, I'm repainting my collection as Hawk Lords and Blood Angels. Why these two, I'm not sure, but there it is.
This has put me in the unusual position of trying to meaningfully divide my existing force into two workable armies. If you had to flip a coin deciding which army you would command, would you be sweating on the result, or reasonably happy with either? Should mention these are intended for casual play with friends/at FLGS rather than contesting tournaments.
Army 1 - Ultramarines (Hawk Lords) 2000 point Battallion:
HQ: Primaris Captain (Relic Shield and Master-Crafted Power Sword, Sanctic Halo, Warlord - Storm of Fire)

Army 2 - Blood Angels 2000 point Battallion:

For consideration, the following units remain available to either army at this point:
2 Dreadnoughts
3 Rhinos
1 Drop Pod
11 Reivers
1 Librarian
Several Captains/Lieutenants
Many Tactical Marines
