New to Blood Angels 1000

[Deleted]

Hey Hive!

In my never ending search to actually own a strategic and fully painted army i have yet another request for feedback on a new list. Recently converted all my old codex marines to Blood Angels, because they are awesome

What do you think of this list?

HQ

Librarian - 125
-Jump Pack

ELITES

(5) Death Company - 175
-Jump Packs

TROOPS

(10) Assault Squad - 205
-flamer
-melta

(10) Assault Squad - 205
-flamer
-melta

FAST ATTACK

Baal Predator - 150
-Flamestorm Cannon
-Heavy Flamers

HEAVY SUPPORT

Dreadnaught 140
-TL Autocannon
-TL Lascannon

Total = 1000

A GW employee annihilated me with a similar list a while ago (maybe in part because im a new and terrible player...) but i think in part because its a good list?

I really only added the dread because i had extra points and i figured it could hang back and provide some cover fire/just shoot stuff while everyone else charges forward wildly. Is it a good choice though? What else could i use for cover fire/support/just using up the extra 130 points?

As always, thanks for any feedback.

EDIT: Also, here's a 750 List

Looks pretty solid. The only tweak I'd personally make would be swapping the flamers and meltas in the assault squads around so that you have two specialised units; one anti-infantry and one anti-vehicle. That would mean put all of your melta eggs in one basket though...

Good call! ill swap those up. Ive got the Dreadnaught's heavy weapons to back them up if something horrible happens to the meltas real early

I think it's fairly good. Just a suggestion, you can have a tooled up Death company/ furioso dred instead of a standard one. Good smashy and has melta and magna grapple if you want. What about trying to squeeze in a tac squad to sit and hold objective, maybe in a rhino? You can get a free multi melta in a 10 man squad too

Thats true...I could probably swap the dread for a tactical squad, but that'd leave my Predator as the only big heavy weapons target. I may just combat squad one or both of my assault squads to give me more scoring units, then i can send some to haul a** back to any backfield objectives near the end, which shouldn't be too difficult since they're jump infantry, right?

Im hesitant to take a furioso dreadnaught because i was planning to keep my dread backfeild, so cc abilities wouldnt help that much. Although ur right Furioso's are pretty killer...but i feel like it'd just get killed lumbering up the field without a drop pod? It'd be my only offensive unit without a 12'' move, which is why i chose BA
