Any tips on the list?
Also, I need help with getting it to 2000 points. This list itself fares rather well, but a 2K list is... difficult.
I don't own ANY tanks right now, nor do I have the money to get any. The closest I come to tanks is 3 Ironclad Dreadnoughts and 1 Venerable/ normal Dreadnought.

Edit: The models I have access to are;
2 Librarians
5 Chapter Masters/Captains (Two on bikes)
44 Tactical Marines/Devastators/Sternguard (4 ML, 2 LC, 3 Flamers, 1 PC, Gravgun, MG, 3 Plasgun.) - Sergeants have SB/LC, Power axe/BP, PlasPistol/PS.
8 Scouts with Snipers, 1 Telion (Can act as standard Scout Sgt), 1 ML scout (Marine playing pretend)
11 LoTD (1 Lascannon, 1 Plasmacannon and a Flamer/Meltagun)
8 Assault Termies (4 TH/SS, 4 LC)
10 Termies (1 Cyclone, 1 HF, 1 Assault Cannon)
3 Ironclad Dreadnoughts
1 Drop Pod
1 Dreadnought/Venerable Dread with Power Fist, MM, Twin-Linked HF, 2 Autocannons.

After I have purchased a bigger case, I have about £170 I can spend on models, but that won't be for about 3-4 weeks.

You seem to be running very minimal troops. With the chapter master on a bike I would add in some bike troops, maybe with some melta as your low on anti tank.

I'm not quite sure I understand your list here.
Without wanting to sound rude, seems more like a list of figures you have. You say it fares well, what kind of lists are you coming up against? Because this is a very focused on expensive HQs and expensive hard hitting Termies and Honour Guard. If I was up against this with Nids i'd love it. And I don't like playing Marines because of mixture of 2+s, 3+s and plenty of decent shooting.

You have no transport or long range weapons on the 5 man Tac squads, or the Honour Guard, two expensive biker HQs with no squad to go with. a small squad of either footsloggin or deepstriking TH/SS terminators. None of it really seems to fit together that well. Like Andram said, you're first problem is low on troops. Three squads is good, but three ten man squads is what you want really. If you really don't like Tacticals that much, they need something, a rhino, anything.

At 1500, you definitely don't want to be spending over 1/3 of your points on HQ (well, you never want to really).

You have four Dreads, at the moment i'd start there. I assume a MoTF still unlocks Dread as heavy support? (I haven't really read the codex properly ). And i'd build around them. Definitely don't take two 200+ point chapter masters. Well, I say definitely, it is apparently working for you so maybe you should. But I can't see how thats a good idea in most situations.

But yeah, build around the Dreads, tactical marines, scouts if you have any. Try and get a bike squad for your HQ(s if you really have too). Try not to footslog Honour Guard, if they aren't in transport then I wouldn't bother. You could almost get two Devastator squads for the points cost of that 5 man squad.

Rodgers; You're right, MoTF still makes Dreads Heavy Support.
I should have explained on my list, sorry. The Chapter Masters and Librarian go with the Honour Guard as a Death Star unit.
MoTF isn't an option (model wise) yet. My next buy needs to be a carry case, then I'm getting some extra models as I need them.
As for lists; at 1500pts only one guy uses a LR, and another uses a single Monolith. Other vehicles are present, but not enough to worry me.
Everything else I turn to smush. I don't play against enough vehicles at that point level to have to worry. Any that pop up are Rhinos and various AV10-12, with 12 being a push. I run past flyers, they then need a minimum of two turns to get around to me again.

You don't sound rude, don't worry. I came here for criticism and ways to improve, so thank you.

I will consider using more dreads, they've been feeling a bit neglected.
Do you have any tips for getting to 2k though? I'll list my models in the first post.
