1000 Points of Pre Heresy World Eaters

So I figured I'd start off the site with the project that the Judges have been working on most recently. In the Adepticon 40k Team Tournament we'll be bringing a team of Pre-Heresy World Eaters, Emperor's Children, Death Guard, and Thousand Sons.
For myself I'll be bringing the blood crazy frothing maniacs. The list I'll be using is Blood Angels; I considered using chaos marines with the icon of Khorne, no Berzerkers to help show the difference between then and now, that kind of thing, but I ended up going with Blood Angels to show the whole pure thing a little better.

Brother-Captain Ehrlen Gak: A Chaplain with Bolt Pistol, Power Sword, Frag Grenades, Melta Bombs, a Conversion Field (Rosarius), and a Jump Pack. 125

Veteran-Squad Menin: 8 Veteran Assault Marines with Bolt pistols and Chainaxes, Jump Packs, and frag and krak grenades. Two Marines have Power Swords and Sergeant Menin has a Power Fist. 280

Assault-Squad Fleiste: 10 Assault Marines with Bolt Pistols, Chainswords, Jump Packs and Frag and Krak grenades. Sergeant Fleiste has a Powerfist. 275

Assault-Squad Wronde: 10 Assault Marines with Bolt Pistols, Chainswords, Jump Packs and Frag and Krak grenades. Two Marines have Plasma Pistols. Sergeant Wronde has a Powerfist. 305

Berserk Squad Wrathe: 3 Berserks with dual Chainswords, Jump Packs, Frag and Krak grenades and Bolt Pistols 15

The main thing I see as controversial is using Chaplain rules to represent Captain Ehrlen. My main thinking on that is that when you read Galaxy in Flames and actually meet him he doesn't come across to me as the kind of commander who is constantly monitoring everything about his army and basically controlling it like an extra appendage. He gives orders, but he mainly seems to be all about the charge, and of course he dies by being dragged down and ripped apart by superior numbers. Seems like a chaplain to me.
