I have found the following list more effective in terms of my win/loss ration than my MSU mech standard marines:
Draigo
Librarian (MoT, Quicksilver, Sanctuary, The Shrouding, wardings stave)
6 Paladins (2 psycannon, stave, falchions, hammer, psybolts, banner)
5 paladins (2 psycannon, 2 halberds, hammer, psybolts)
Land Raider Crusader (multi-melta)
1530 point core
add Venerable Dreadnoughts and/or stormraven, maybe a teleport homer for the Librarian, and maybe another paladin and banner to the 5 man squad to bring it up to 2000.
With correct choice of Grand Strategy option for opponent and mission, combined with a general (though not exclusive, it depends on opponent and mission to an extent) policy of reserving, this should win Annihilation games fairly easily, have a good chance in capture and control, and isn't as bad at seize ground as one might think (though 4 and 5 objective missions are the toughest to win, a draw should at least be achievable -- 3 and less are definitely winnable).
Obviously you can tweak it to fit in 3 veberable dreadnoughts or whatever you like.
