Conditions of the tournament are that lists are 1000 points and you can only use stuff purchasable inside a GW store. I decided that I want to whip out my Sons of Sanguinius for it. Unsure if Exterminatus can be used but it it can I will drop a troops unit.
This is what I have for 1000. I went very light on armoured units just to mitigate the amount of AT that I think people will be bringing. If I can go Exterminatus I might just bring an armored company and get me some Fast Vindicators.
In any case, I would like some input on how to make this list better.
I've tried all sorts, including Land Speeders, Vindicators, Terminators, spamming Death Company and this is the list that looks the most fun to play, what with 12" movement across the army, or Infiltrate/Deep Strike. Exception is Dreadnought who is there for backfield objectives.
Also a little unsure on Sanguinary Guard loadout. I am lacking a fair bit in AP2 stuff so I went with 3 AP2 weapons (since the Priest has his own AP3 weapon, that would make it 3 AP3/3 AP2). But I've also got a fair bit of Melta to get elite infantry with...help with optimizing would be great.

I'd drop the second pistol for your sergeants. 3 Melta shots are more than enough and Hand Flamers aren't that great in pairs. I personally don't use Melta Bomb scouts, I tried them before but found them lacking (though you may love them, who knows?). Also drop the fist on the Sanguinary Guard, the Axes will do you fine for tougher units even if you don't get instant death. Now you can use the points you've saved to replace your regular dreadnought with a fancy Furioso in a Drop Pod, it'll fill a nice TEQ/Monstrous Creature hunting role and be a lot of worry for your opponent (And did you really need those Autocannons? Two nippy squads with melta should do the trick for most heavy units at this points level).
