I should be fine as far as anti armor, but my biggest concern is my lack of heavy armor - they will probably be rhino hunting and fast. I am debating putting everything but the termies and scouts in drop pods and having a go in that fashion, I could do that by dropping the librarians storm shield.

Thoughts and help on the build? Strategies?

I playes a similar list in three RTTs, recently.
However, I'd take not more than three troop units. For instance, you could drop one Tactical, beef up the Scouts to 10 men, and add some Attack Bikes w/ multimeltas.

Maybe drop one tac, change one to flamer/heavy bolter, and buy a drop pod for the dread and swap drop pods for all of the rhinos. Get a bike squad with multi meltas and homers for the drop pods.

I playtest a little last night and I think this might mwork a little better - thoughts?

Drop the ironclad dredd and flamer tac squad first, Librarian TGoIs himself and the termies up close. Scouts sit at home guarding the objective and sniping. If anyone comes after them, the second 10 man squad will drop closeby when available and the second dread will drop where needed.

I would drop the armour on the first dreadnought and make it to a ironclad if you can.

I would drop the terminators for 5 assault terminators and a land raider. Bundle them in with the librarian and you've got a good unit, though a chaplain allows re-rolls. Depending on what land raider you take it will give you more anti tank.

I've never been a fan of infantry in drop pods mainly because they cannot move (apart from run) and tend to get shot once the doors have opened. Personally for the same points you could give them rhinos giving them better protection and more mobile, if you combat squad your tact squads take razorbacks for anti infantry and light armour support. I would do this at least with the missile launcher squad, though the melta squad could have just a rhino as two models can fire out the top hatch

I would drop the scouts or at least the combi melta. Melta has 12" sniper rifles 36" and probaby won't be used.

I don't own a sm landraider right no (or assualt termies - both are on the list to buy)

So it is ok to deepstrike just the dreadnoughts?

Based on your suggestions with what I have at hand (cyclones are solid and the termies aren't pushovers themselves. When the librarian is with them they do some killing) this is a better look?

You cannot deep strike dreadnoughts without the pods, and yes, I would so they don't get shot to pieces and can engage in close combat - though I would upgrade to ironclad as marine krak grenades cannot damage them and it not power fists are taken that squad will be wrecked in no time - also extra attack and has short ranged weaponary

Well 10 terminators are over kill, and if you are deep striking the lot and you loose them thats 460 down the drain. Seperate them into two units or replace one for another troop unit as you don't have a high model count. Though I would change them for assault termies and a land raider a.s.a.p, you should try proxying them and see how it goes.

You can only take one missile launcher in a tact squad.

The dreadnoughts have drop pods with dw missle launchers.

My bad on the 2 rocket launchers, that would be a rocket launcher and a las cannon. I intend (when I sell a bit more paintball gear) to by some assault termies and a crusader/redeemer (magnetize the sponsons so it will be whichever is appropriate.)

I thought 5 termies with a cyclone deepstriking and 5 assault termies in a landraider would be a decent combination.

In doing that, the entire list will change to get the extra 250 points.

you cannot take two heavy weapons in tact squads, so drop the rocket launcher or lascannon, personally I would drop the lascannon as the rocket is free.

personlly I would go with normal land raider as it can be anti armour and anti infantry.

the assault termies perhaps best to mix lightning colours and thunderhammers.

the cyclone would be good for long range if the terminators scatterr.

Possibly add a Vindicator or two to take out enemy tanks and infantry instead of Land Raider.
