Blood Angels 1500+

[dragonbait]

I've been working on getting my blood angels up and running for a while now, and this about what I have for my 1500 point list.

HQ: Commander Dante 200 points

Troop: 10 Man Assault Squad + Power Fist 275 points

Troop: 10 Man Assault Squad + Power Fist 275 points

HQ(doesn't take up slot): 5 Man Honor Guard+ 180 points
Company Banner+Jump Packs+Sanquinary Priest

Elite: Venerable Death Company Furioso 160 points
Dreadnought + Extra Armor

Elite: Death Company: 3 free + 2 paid + 85 points
Jump Packs

Hvy Spt: Vindicator + Storm Bolter 130 points

Fast Attack: 3 Landspeeders w/ Multi-Melta 195 points

It's 1500 even, with plenty of room for upgrades for more point games. In bigger point games, I'd like to add a 5 man tac squad just for easier objective securing rather than splitting up my assault squads. I could also throw flamers or missile launchers on the landspeeders as well. There is plenty of room to upgrade the honor guard as well, probably with melta bombs, power weapons, and the chapter banner. I have also been toying with the idea of Attack Bikes, and maybe eventually a drop pod for my dreadnought.

Thoughts, ideas, skepticisms?

Am away from my books at the moment, but do the death company still have to move or assault the nearest enemy when not led by a Chaplain or Priest?

[dragonbait]

The Death Company Dreadnought must move towards the closest enemy unit unless there is a Chaplain or Sanguinary High Priest within 6" of them. The Death Company themselves have to move towards the closest enemy unit unless a Chaplain or Brother Corbulo is within 6" of them. Nothing about assaulting though.

Which is why I always take a Chappy in chaps with a jump pack. Team him up with the Death Company for that all important Hating on the assault.

Also, I love attack bikes. Heavy bolters for anti-troop goodness, Multi-meltas for speedy tank busting.

Well it was my plan to get attack bikes at some point, but since they're giving us a new codex next year I've put my buying on hold. I've always wanted to run Landspeeders if i did marines, so after I get 3 of those up, I do plan on getting some attack bikes. I would also like a Jump Chaplain, I think they look so badass.
