First things first....Your list is a bit unclear, can you type up the squad sizes ect?

The mandrakes models are awesome, but in the game they are aweful, I really suggest you drop them.

Urien is pretty poor aswell, I'd suggest swapping him for a normal haemonculus (or 3)

I'd suggest dropping either the 2 caltrops or the heat lances from the reavers, mixing them makes them to expensive and they wont really have any focus.

For 2000 points you should take probably 4 or 5 troops, not 2.

I'd also suggest you look into ravagers, they are amazing.

Hope this helps

I'd pretty much 2nd and 3rd almost everything Gorechild said. Especially the Mandrakes and Urien issues.

Your biggest issue is that your army doesn't have a lot of synergy amongst itself. It sort of feels like it wants to rush me, but has enough slower units that I don't think it could very well.

Other immediate things that leap out at me;

Ghostplate on a Sybarite? A Sybarite whose only other upgrade is the PGL? I really don't recommend this as it's very expensive and he'll be protected by the other 9 bodies in the squad and if they start fighting anything with a powerfist or something the squad's probably doomed anyway, so...save the points. (honestly I'd drop the PGL too - any squad with a Dark Lance shouldn't be trying to assault anything)

I'd upgrade to an Agoniser on your Wyches - a power weapon is waaaay better than a poison one. The regular Wyches can hurt stuff that dies to regular weapons, you need that Agoniser to help punch holes in MEQ.

The Harlequin's and the Talos are probably too slow for the rest of the list if you are trying to be assault oriented.

No upgrades on the Hellions? Save a lot of points and get something better - like another Wyche or Warrior squad in a Raider. If you really want to run Hellions get them a Helliarch with a Agoniser or something so they can threaten MEQ better.
