Air Cav lists can be devastatingly effective. Either through scout move if you get first turn (however you opponent can really kill this with well placed infiltrators) or reserves. You do need the astropaths to make reserves reliable enough. You will have 3 squadrons, its not hard to fail two out of three reserve rolls.
In my experience the best kit for them is 2x melta, 1x Hvy Flamer, Demo Charge. Its expensive but works against anything and the melta bombs are Solid Gold!!!
At this point level howerver that might not be possible. I have never (and would never) play at 1500 so I cant say what the best kit is at that point level. I will have to defer to the blokes from across the pond for the smaller point games.
