I just quickly slapped this together to get the idea of what i can get for 1k, and if this kind of army would be affective or not.

Criticism and advice welcome!

Cheers guys

I'd recomend filling out the tactical squads, I've found them most effective at full strength, maybe drop the vindicator to do it, and add an infernius pistol to your seargent.

Your HQ and Elite slots eat up alot of your point totals and I've had bad experiances with that at low point value games especially with any of the SM variants, you may want to consider exchanging them for some more troop choices, just so you have more bodies on the battlefield.

Ah ok. Cos the main issue i see people mentioning normally is the lack of Anti armour units.

You are right that a jump pack assault army does generally lack Ranged anti-tank as it is an in your face kind of army, but keep in mind on the charge you are strength 5 hitting rear armor which is generally 10.

I would suggest the following:
1. Drop the vindicator - work better in pairs as they are one trick ponies
2. Drop the infernus pistol from the priests- its a 75 point model when you add the jump pack with 1 wound that can be picked out in combat, not to mention 3" range for a melta is pretty rough to get to
3. I agree with beefing both squads to 10 man - I would say add a flamer to the unit to handle horde type armies. It also lets you combat squad if you need to.
4. Take the powerfist off the reclusiarch and put it on a death company member that way it can't be picked out.
5. This would leave you 50 points- which is perfect foar an attack bike with melta.

I hope this helps ya bit.
