just wondering if i could get some feedback on this list, it's intended to fight Blood Angels, i know my opponent will most likely be taking assault marines with dreadnought, maybe land raider support.

Feed back as to how many marines this could kill before they get near me would great, thanks!

1) Never mix special weapons. 3x melta or 3x plasma, taking a mix of weapons just ensures that you always waste at least one weapon no matter what you're shooting at.

2) Never take grenade launchers. They are terrible in every possible situation.

3) Veterans go in Chimeras or Vendettas. Without a transport they are too fragile to do anything useful before getting wiped off the table.

4) Never put sponsons or lascannons on LRBTs. If you fire the turret gun (and you always fire the turret gun) the ordnance rule forces your other weapons to snap fire, and BS 1 sponson guns are not worth the points (and of course plasma cannons can't fire at all).

So, the answer to your question is that you will kill very few marines before they get near you. You have limited firepower, no mobility, and nothing but small squads of guardsmen. You're going to be lucky if you avoid getting tabled.

good thing i have a day to rewrite this thing, dont have any chimeras, was going more or less for a gunline type list, clearly that didnt work out so well

Well I won the game, thanks for your help, probably saved my butt!
