edit: list adjustment

eh its ok.

Eh...Its an ok list. I like it I think, but there is something not right about it. The scouts, with there load out (snipers and ML) and camo cloaks, its probably best you sit them high up in a ruin and rain fire on something. That being said, I think the Melta bombs are a waste of points.
The hunter-killer missile on the Pred I think is also wasted points. It has 2 str 7 shots, and 2 str 8 shots per turn. It doesn't need a throw-away str 8 shot also.
You might want to think about giving the Dread a Multi-Melta and put him in a drop pod. That way you can put him down on turn one and pop open the biggest tank on the map.
These are all pretty minor changes. Like I said, I like this list, but at the same time something about it doesn't feel right...

I don't take minimum wargear so I can maximize model count. It's not in me to do such a thing.

Here's what I'm thinking as to how it should be played.

The tactical squads are there to fill out the FOC, hold objectives and give supporting fire. - The dreadnought stays close to the tactical squads adding to the supporting fire and aid in assault situations. - The scouts serve to multitask, suppressing fire so that the landspeeders can come up and unleash hell on infantry units if they get pinned, additional supporting fire if needed, or hold an objective. - Landspeeders serve swift death where needed whether it be infantry or mech (hopefully). - The Vindicator and Predator are there for taking out other heavy support and/or monstrous creatures. - Lastly the Landraider carts around the immediate, up close and in your face threat, the Terminator assault squad accompanied by the Librarian. The Landraider offering suppressing fire before the Terminators charge in.

Why does every space marine list have a rocket launcher? Am I the only space marine player that does not have a single rocket in sight?

S8 AP3 or S4 AP6 Blast, and they're free. What's not to like?

Missile Launchers are the most versatile weapon in the entire marine codex. They are free for tac squads, you get a pretty effective horde and anti-MEQ/anti-light-medium vehicle shot in the same weapon. And they have a 48" range. I don't see any negatives. Possibly that they are too general, not being specialized in anything.
