So my brother is looking to get into 40k and asked me to help him create a BA army list for him as he enjoys their lore.
However, there's a problem. I have mostly run CSM and, while I still play, I haven't expanded my collection much in the past few years, which has forced me to predominantly run Lash/Oblits. As such, I have very little idea where to start for this BA army. As you will see, the Assault squads are set up in the exact same manner as I set up my plague marines.
So, with that out of the way, here is the army list. My goal was to create something scalable down to 1500/1000 points if needed, straightforward to play, and fun.

Librarian

Elites
Sanguinary Priest
Jump Pack
Troops
10x Assault Squad
Power Fist
2x Meltagun
w/o jump packs
-Land Raider Crusader

5x Assault Squad

1x Meltagun
5x Scout Squad
4x Sniper Rifle
1x Missile Launcher
Cammo Cloaks
Fast Attack
Baal Predator

Heavy Support
Storm Raven
Twin-Linked Multi-Melta
Dreadnought
My intention is to have each Librarian run in a LR with the assault squads, the assault squad with jumpacks to be accompanied by the Sanguinary Priest and to ride in the Storm Raven (would something else be better suited to ride in here?), and for the Dreadnaught to also hitch a ride on the Stormraven.
Any feedback on how to spend that last 200ish points would be greatly appreciated, as well as any advice to make the list more effective overall. If the list is complete garbage, feel free to say so and, in that case, I'd appreciate any suggestions on a better direction to go in. Thanks!
Edit: Part of what I'm having the most difficulty with is deciding which upgrades to give people, which powers for the librarians, etc.
