Looks fairly standard actually. The only thing "different" is Rhinos vs Drop Pods and the use of Predators over Long Fangs. My only question is why are you bothering with Divination on the Rune Priest that is clearly riding in a Rhino? Living Lightning and Murderous Hurricane would probably serve you better. Solid list over all though.

I changed the second priests powers.
Thanks for the input, I wasn't sure if this was going to be "competitive" enough by using Rhinos and Preds.

Honestly, a squadron of 2 Vendetta can take care of almost any vehicle in the game in a single turn usually, and you don't see a lot of Flyer Spam lists despite the Internet's dread of them. Meltavets did take a hit since you have to Reserve the Vendettas now, but they're still useful and if nothing else it gives you a late turn Objective nabber.
You'll probably give up First Blood thanks to a Rhino now, so keep that in mind.

Yeah, I expect my Rhinos to be killed off fairly quickly but as long as that 35pt metal box gets me to where I need to go they've done their job. I should also get Linebreaker so losing First Blood shouldn't be much of a problem.
Hopefully I'll have some fun with this list.

Simply change the rhinos to drop pods and you are set

If I took drop pods, only two can come in first turn which shouldn't be difficult for my opponent to deal with. Also if my opponent gets first turn he only has to deal with a Manticore and two Preds which would face all my opponents AT weaponry, the only protection my tanks would have would be Night Fighting, provided its in place. They would also be vulnerable to DS units. I think I'll stick with good old fashioned Rhinos to Drop Pods in this case.
