I know, this list will make you TFG, but it was just an idea I had and before go out and buy all the models I was wondering if people could see any inherent weakness in the list, and how to rectify it (if possible)

This list gives you 40 bodies of objective grabbing, one blob is fearless thanks to the lord, and 4x vindicators and 4x heldrake.
You have plenty of Ap2 for termies, some S10 for landraiders, Vector strikes for fliers and heldrake for swarms.
I think riptide spam will really hurt but if you can keep your front armour pointed at them, you should vastly reduce the damage they 750deal as the helldrakes kill their objective holders.

Going up to 1750 could get you some termies or Helbrutes if you want to stay in the mech theme.

Comments?

I wouldn't take vindicators without possession.. but for this list if you really want to step it up, give them TL Bolters for the 50/50 weapon-destroyed chance..

Keeps them wrecking face with that big cannon for as long as possible.

you are TFG haha. considering your list I say Bro is right with getting TL bolters on your vindicators. Vindicators only have a 24" range so they won't be shooting at anything the first turn. and if the opponent has some lascannons they can simply snipe you from the other side and if they penetrate any vehicle at all, that vehicle is pretty much kaputt. (so get daemonic possession on these bad boys when you play them). your cultists will provide an easy first blood and drakes don't come on until 2/3rd turn. So I say its a 50/50 deal with the army, if the vindicators don't get penetrated by the heavy hitting weapons you're good; otherwise everything is pretty much set up for the opponent so he can fire most his stuff as snap shots at the drakes.
With that said, your drakes could win the game by themselves if the opponent isn't completely loaded on AA

Do people actually want to play against that army?
