I persoanlly like the list, it may (probably will) struggle vs blast marker heavy guard or anyone else for that matter, I would swap out the storm shields on the regular sergeants for maybe melta gusn in the assualt squads, just for a bit of anti tank as you have no power fists or similar, actually thinking sbout it you might strugle if confronted with walkers, they could easily lock up your squads, consider melta bombs.

The HQ and his retinue seems like a too high point commitment for a 1000 point game. Most of your value is in a handful of models which might backfire in a game of this size.

What do you do against power fist or thunder hammer terminators? All your lightning claws are AP3 so they will get their 2+ and turn around and hand you allot of AP2 in return. The sanguinor is also not as good anymore because he is also only AP3 so a T hammer storm shield terminator lord like say.. a wolf lord or something just calls him out in CC and can take his hits pretty easily while he makes you take 3+ saves

I love your list layout :O very pretty.

my 1000pts though I run 2 razorwing fighters running 4 ordance templates and a whole bunch of fire power I don't see anything in your list that will really fight that off let alone the rest of my stuff. Saying that it looks fun but I've not been a fan of death star lists for years now.

Do not use Infernus pistols in your assault squads, give them a meltagun instead.

Also the Sanguinor is not an IC, so he can not be attached to any unit.

Use a unit of sanguinary guard with 1 or two power fists, it will get into assault quickly and tear through most units that you will find at the 1000 point level.

Also, Metlabombs are amazing now that vehicles are hit on a 3+ in CC if they have moved, and autohit when stationary. With Armorbane and AP 1 they will explode vehicles in one shot close to half the time.
