with the imperial strong point this list comes out to 4005 points
using the new fortification rules so 2 aegis lines 100 pts/2 bastions one with coms relay for 75&95 pts.

Everytime you see the words, 'dozor blade', 'extra armour', and 'plasma pistol', get rid of them and save the points. It will refine your list and give you lots more points to spend on more squads. I would also get rid of the multimelta sevitors, as soon as they have disembarked, they will be shot to pieces before they can do anything useful. Lastly - give the captain at least a relic blade, so he can kill more than a grot if it comes to close combat. Hope that helps!

why aren't you using the supplement, its warlord traits table provides better useful traits for iron hands. you aren't even using any artefacts from the codex so your list runs unimpeded. in other words that supplement will improve your army at NO EXTRA COST!!!

looks nice and general for a list with that may techmarines you can bolster defences a lot of cover so practically your entire army has it. get quad guns up everywhere so you can stop his flyers, CSM can field 7 drakes at this level and that's not fun at all,
