1700 points.

Idea is that the two ironclads pod in as the first wave, with the third pod, vindicators and/or Razorback combat squads as clean-up. I still have the feeling that I might be too infantry light. My other thought was to replace the vindicators with a missile launcher dev squad, but it lacks the "in your face" threat of the vindicators.

Well, the army looks quite good.
However, I'd replace Sicarius by another drop podded Dread; its another ''in your face'' threat.
The army would eventually benefit from giving the Librarian nullzone.

It is a 10 man. He obviously plans to combat squad them.

Q: How many of a specific demographic group are required to carry out a simple task?
A: An arbitrary number. One to carry out the task in question, and the remainder to act in a manner stereotypical of the group.
