you are correct in that you can deepstrike everything there assuming the master of the forge attaches to the tac marines, however, why you would want to deep strike a master of the forge with conversion beamer is beyond me, I spose if it's just the deep striking theme fair enough but he would probably be better with the flamer, twin linked plasma pistols, and 2 powerfist attacks than the conversion beamer when deep striking.
Also, you are clearly deep striking alot of your army and taking the fight to them, yet all your ironclad dreadnoughts with dual close combat weapons don't have any grenades between them. I consider the frag grenades invaluable because they let you assault a unit in cover with a power fist/klaw and have a chance to wipe that weapon out before it hits, and if for no other reason I would take them for the defensive grenades on the turn you deep strike, 1 less high S attack could make all the difference.
The other thing is, allmost all of your anti tank capabilities are melee, which means against fast vehicles (land speeders, dark eldar, eldar, orks) you will basically just have to cop it on the chin if they have these fast vehicles in decent numbers.

Thanks for the tip. Yeah its a drop pod army theme, so thats why the master is attached and deep striking. Most people that I am playing and playing Tyranids Swarms and CSM. With your observations in mind, do you think this list would be better? Having the Master Drop and attached to the dev squad rather then the tac marine from 1st list.
HQ:
Master of the Forge- Conversion Beamer
Elite:
IC Dreadnaught w/Heavy Flamer + Ironclad Assualt Launcher;Drop Pod
IC Dreadnaught w/heavy Flamer + Ironclad Assualt Launcher;Drop Pod

Troops:
5 Scouts w/Heavy Bolter+Sniper x3
5 Scouts w/Heavy Bolter+Sniper x3
Fast Attack:
1 Land Speeder Storm
1 Land Speeder Storm
Heavy:
Dreadnaught w/Heavy Flamer+ TL LasC;Drop Pod
Dreadnaught w/Heavy Flamer + TL LasC;Drop Pod
5 Devastaors w/Missle Launcher x3;Drop Pod
Basically Dropping the Dev squad far away and be anti-tank with the master. Scouts worry about objectives. Nauts in your face.

I like the Dread heavy lists. But you are light on troops. I'd drop the Devastators, as they are a bit out of place, and get some more troops.
