Hi, everyone, I am a new player of warhammer 40k, Blood Angels is my first army that I am going to play with. This is my very first list of Blood Angels, please give me some advice of this list or advice of building a well balance army list, thank you : ]

[total:1260pts]

I am aiming to build a 1500 army, those 1260pts armies are the core of my list, I am thinking what kind of unit should i spend for the rest of 240pts, should I add land speeders or a Land speeder for some fire support?? or i can add other stuffs??

Thanks for reading this long post.

Thx, Jumpy Dan, thx for the suggestion of my HQ choice and the choice of using PF or PW for the SangPs, these 2 questions stuggle me alot before. The reason of the lone Dread that I put in the list is for suicide in the first turn and buy some time for my troops to get closer to the enermy (hope it can kill some main target before it get destroyed).
Thx Blood knight and CLT 40K or your suggestions. Those opinion are detailed and gave me a deeper thinking of the list.

First, the all out assault is, well, my dreamed playing style of the blood angels. Though my friend who is playing orks said the list is juz like some orks wearing space marine armor and CC everything, lol. This list is way too much sticking on the melee side. (but i love it)

Secound, I guess I need to balance this list for getting more Long range unit as the fire support. But, as a new player, I am afraid of going to much and made the list juz another original Ultra Marine with LR, Vindicator, Sternguard Veteran in droppod...etc. Those are good, but cant play in a blood angel style. So, my question is : how to get a good EQUILIBRIUM between the style of your race and a balancing list??

at last, thx again your guy's detailed and professional (to me ) advice : ]
