all but 5 of my units start on the table in escalation missions.  59 Meqs.  Vehicles are so fragile i decided to take the only vehicles I can hide or force a glance.  inquisitor or nominated unit can fire at deep striking units, tonnes of fire power.  Scout bikes for tank hunting. Land Speeders for objective grabbing.  I am trying to cover all the bases.  I am looking for weaknesses, things that can make this list more fluffy.  The Inquisitor, retinue and Callidus are all being heavily converted so they look like members of the Ordos Xenos.  The only things that bother me are lack of hand to hand, and the minimum sized squads of all my troops.  Considering dropping a troops squad to give the rest of the army more upgrades.  I want a good composition and apart from my troops I feel that I have attained that.  Do your worst dakkites.

You dont have 59 MeQs. Marine equivalents have 3+ saves. Your list will get worst comps for the lone Assassin and the Inquisitor.

Its different from the norm though. On the plus side you have many scoring units. Most are too fragile and static for my taste though. Whats your plan against Drop Pods, Demon Bombs, IW, Seer Councils? I fear a Godzilla list will walk over you, despite the Nid Hunters theme.

The Inquisitor and his retinue allow me to shoot at demons as they are summoned, drop pods as they deep strike. Iron warriors worried me, thats why I have infiltrating scouts and scout bikes that can assault the first turn with the deployment, scout move, first turn move, assault (36 inches in most cases) provided i get first turn. seer councils i have never fought them, so im not quite sure how I would combat them, godzilla nids will get shot to peices. I will revamp this list with pure Ultramarines later.
