So how rough is life going to be with list. Just looking for a solid list to play demo games of 40k with. SM are not my primary army, so a little short on toys to work with. Got a rhino, full TDA squad, 2 dreads to work with.

I don't play at 1000 points much but the only advice I can give is to free up some points to give the stern some combis and a drop pod. Also I would not run your dev squad mixed like that because they don't want to shoot at the same things and also have different ranges so you will always be wasting shots from one or another. Personally I run 4x ml but that's just what I like. Decide what you want them to do and pick a weapon for it.

Points aren't the problem, models is. Working with a limited toolbox, so drop pod is out the running.

Had considered swapping the free weapons on the squads and putting 3 missles and lascannon on the Dev squad. a BS5 lascannon is worth mixing targets.

I don't think 3x ml and 1x las is a bad choice with your limited selection, I know a lot of people run them that way.
I just don't think the stern will do much without a pod and combi's, maybe try to work the tda squad in in there place or maybe give them the rhino?

Drop the captain to just a hellfire upgrade, add the rhino to the Sternguard and then join the capt. to them.
