I have been playing quite a few games semi-competitively with a bunch of my friends. I was wondering if this list was too "all my eggs in one basket". Let me know what you guys think. Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

HQ:
Gabriel Seth

Elite:
Sanguinary Priests (2)
Power Weapons (2)
Melta Bombs (2)

Troop:
Assault Squad
+5 Models
Drop Jump Packs
Powerfist
Land Raider Redeemer

Assault Squad
+5 Models
Drop Jump Packs
Powerfist
Land Raider Redeemer

The idea is to put Gabriel Seth and one of the Sanguinary Priests into the redeemers with the assault squads. Then Deepstrike the Raiders whenever they are available. I know its risky but the potential can be amazing.

Personally i wouldnt deepstrike a landraider. if you would like to do this, i would suggest just start as much stuff as you can in the raiders. Remove the jump packs from the assault squads so you get the 35 point discount and add more bodies where able, fill the landraiders if possible.

This does some good and some bad stuff. It gives good protection to all of your units. And with two vehicles your army can easily hide in cover. However, it is extremely low on models, there are only 10 scoring models which is a big negative. However those redeemers should be laying some good fire down. A good thing is everything has furious charge and fnp so the units you have are tough. And i dont know if many lists at 1250 have enough anti-tank to deal with 2 AV14 vehicles.

I would say just try it and see how it goes.

That was pretty much the idea already.

1) Swap your land raiders from redeemers to godhammers (Standard types) and perhaps add in a multi-melta or two

2) Give your assault squads dual meltaguns. Being able to disembark, fire and wreck a transport & charge the occupants is very useful. Also adds to your tiny pool of gunz.

3) Drop Seth; Unless you have a massive thing for him. He adds nothing bar his stat line & costs alot.

4) Add in 1-2 librarians

5) Grab a scout squad. Use them wisely and for the points you spend, they will provide you an invaluable flexibility and an extra lane of offence.

I dont really have a thing for Seth other than he is fairly decent at his points for an hq. If I had the points, Mephiston would be in there.

I like the extra room in the LR's so that I can attach the Sang Priests and the HQ to the 10man assault squads and still make them disgusting.

Now I know that Deepstriking the raiders can be very bad. So I don't need to do that. Maybe I could just drop 1 of the assault squads altogether and that would free up 480 point. If I drop Seth and 1 of the Sang Priests theres another 225 for a total of 705 points.

Here is a revised idea.

HQ:
Librarian - [100]
Might of Heroes
Sword of Sanguine

Elite:
Sanguinary Priest - [60]
Power Weapon

Sanguinary Priest - [50]

Furioso Librarian - [175]
Wings of Sanguinius
Might of Heroes

Troop:
Assault Squad - [480]
+5 Models
Drop Jump Packs
Powerfist
Land Raider Redeemer

Tactical Squad - [230]
+5 Models
Meltagun
Missile Launcher
Razorback

Scout Squad - [85]
Bolters
Heavy Bolter

Heavy Support:
Predator - [70]

I like your land raider list but with one change i would make one a God Hammer. Mainly to fight eldar and IG at range.
