Blood Angels to play against beginners, help me take the competitive out

40K Army: Space Marines

Hello,


something a bit different this time. I have recently been invited to a 40k weekend that aims at creating a local community. Most of the players are new and/or pretzels and beer type of players, so I wouldn't want to alienate them by playing a WAAC, super-efficient list. So here's the deal: Is this army fun to play with and against or should I change it? It should be viable, but not wipe people out in three turns.

It should look like a typical Blood Angels army, so have all three types of Marine squads, a Captain and some signature units like Baals, Honour Guards etc.

1500

Captain: Dual Claws, Meltabombs, Jump Pack: 160 points

Honour Guard: Chapter Banner, Blood Champion, 3 Powerswords: 260 points

10 Assault Marines: 2 Flamer, Power weapon: 215 points

10 Assault Marines: Rhino, 2 Meltaguns, Powerfist: 250 points

10 Tactical Marines: Rhino, Meltagun, Lascannon, Powerfist: 260 points

Baal Predator: 2 Heavy Bolters: 145 points

10 Devastators: 4 Missile Launchers: 210 points



1750 points:

the same plus


Furioso Librarian: Shield of Sanguinius, Wings of Sanguinius (because flying dreads look cool): 175 points

Sanguinary Priest with Jump Pack: 75 points



2000 points:

the same plus

Power weapon for the Priest: +15 points

9 Death Company: 2 Powerswords, 1 Powerfist: 235 points



Is this casual? Or cheesy?

If all you want to is play and not be competitive I think this list is fine. It isn't over the top at all. My biggest question though, is do you like it? If you are going to have a fun weekend you need to bring a list that you have fun using. Is there a particular unit you like?

Leave the Sang preist at home at all points levels. FNP assault marines aren't fun to face.
I'd suggest a dreadnaught instead, preferably a BA specific type.

It would definitely be fun to play, as I never get the chance to take my converted captain and honour guard for a spin in competitive games. And something I could get behind playing several games long.

If I drop the priest, I can buy the Death Company a Rhino and another guy.
