Looking for suggestions to expand my current DH from ~1000-1200ish points up to 1500-2000pts range, not really sure what to get in the way of things, so figured I would ask advice here. Anything from the DH book is fine, not biased against storms or anything, allied guard/sisters is also fine.
Current list is something along the lines of;

5x ISTs
2x Melta/Plasma
Chimaera

5x ISTs
2x Melta/Plasma

9 PAGKs
Justicar
2 Psycannons

Las/Rocket Dread

GK Brother-Captain Hero

and either a Termy retinue for the brother captain, or Inquisitor with Tarot/Plas/Melta Retinue and an assassin.

Suggestions both to improve this list, and ideas for expansion would be nice.
Perhaps 2x Landraiders and do that water warrior thing?

Introducted IG platoons are your good friends, who could bring you brand-new-version chimeras, and provide some long-range support fire, which DH units needed.

Maybe a land raider with some IG platoons rolling around it like you do with baneblades. They'll lock up CC on anything that would try to hurt your Land Raider, in the right circumstances you'd be invincible with it.

Or Unstoppable I should say... Does the DH LR still have the "Machine spirit" special rule? It's a very useful rule if they do. Even better reason to try to field a single LR

Another chimera for that second IST squad.

Take that Inquisitor with some mystics, and another chimera for him.

Another dread, give him a CC weapon though, and either plas or melta depending on your IST squads.

That's 5 AV 12 and a PAGK bubble wrap, with psychic hood, tarot and mystics, probably around 1500 points.

After that go Termies in a Land Raider, either as your HQ or Elite (and filling that last, and vital, HS).

Or you could go dual/tri raider list, but they suck anyway
