I'm sure this has been mentioned already. It's just too obvious, right? I don't know how to search for similar army lists, though.

1500 Points:
Inquisitor Coteaz-100
Land Raider Classic, Multimelta- 265
Warrior Acolyte x 3- 12
Land Raider Redeemer, Multimelta, Psybolt- 260
Warrior Acolyte x 3- 12
Land Raider Redeemer, Multimelta, Psybolt- 260
Warrior Acolyte x 3- 12
Stormraven, Multimelta- 205
Warrior Acolyte x 3- 12
Stormraven, Multimelta- 205
Warrior Acolyte x 3- 12

Points left: 145.

1750 points:
Add another Stormraven with warrior-acolytes.
Add a venerable dreadnought carried by a Stormraven.
Points left: 3

2000 points:
Add another venerable dreadnought carried by a Stormraven.
Points left: 78.

...2500 points:
Add a Grey Knight Grand Master. Make the dreadnoughts scoring.
Add another venerable dreadnought carried by a Stormraven.
Points left: 228.

Extra points are for giving more psybolt ammo, hurricane bolters for Stormravens, extra armor for dreadnoughts, etc.
Another possibility would be spending some on Rhinos to cover the advance of the Land Raiders by driving in front (and using smoke launchers). Obviously, though, this is not a good idea for kill-point missions.

What do you guys think?

(And where would be the best place to put Coteaz? The Land Raider Classic is the closest thing to a rear firing-line that this army has, so I had imagined him there, but I'm not sure it's clear-cut.)

Uh....where's the beef?

This is a pure rock-paper-scissors list. Go against the right army and you'll do ok. Go against the wrong one and you're looking at getting tabled.

Consider dropping 1 stormraven from your 1.5K list for a little meat on your scoring units.

AV 14; AV 12 that ignores melta; AV 12 that re-rolls damage results. That is the meat on the scoring units.

The army has good duality: melta and Dreadnoughts provide anti-heavy-vehicle, assault cannons and templates provide anti-horde.

A significant portion of the opponent's forces will waste their fire (I don't think henchmen squads upgraded with Crusaders will be as synergistic as more armor: they'll be the only good target for enemy dakka, and they'll get a lot of it).

At 2500 points, there are 9 scoring units. Stormravens are available for flat-out moves to contest objectives late game.

That's the beef. What other all-comers army is going to easily table this?

Darklight spam comes to mind. They're faster than you, reach further than the bulk of your list, and have so many Dark Lances they will probably finish opening your SRs by turn 3 and then have at least 2 turns to carve up your LRs, which are only AV12 as far as they're concerned. It's fully functional at 1500 as well. Dark Eldar are fantastic at wrecking armor. The primary things out of our codex they hate, mass stormbolters, psycannons, and psy-autocannons, you are bringing precisely zero of.
