I don't own the book for this army but if I understand your list correctly you have no scoring units?

The Troop choices count as scoring in the ArmoredBattle Group.

(Edit, just checked the book, I have no scoring units in this list. I'm still okay with that.)

I would split the Vendetta's into 2 so you don't waste Lascannon shots.

What book is this that has these rules because i would love to run this type of list.

imperial armour 1 Volume 2

I agree with that. My plan is to simply just destroy everything as fast as I can and pose a a threat to my opponent with all the AV 14 and fliers. I won't be able to really take any objectives, but my plan is to contest them and win by score point. First blood should be easy to take with this list, Line breaker shouldn't be too hard or Slay the warlord.

Big guns never tire would be amazing.

unfortunately, you cant...

vendetta gunships, in the ABG list, come as part of an Imperial Navy gunship support squadron, which is capped to 0-1 per list.

It seems like you're ok with having no scoring units... each to their own

Also, for the LR's with battle tanks, take away their sponsons, and lascannons. The battle tanks are ordnance so you are unable to fire the additional weapons at full BS. This makes your sponsons wasted, so move them to tanks that dont have sponsons and dont have ordnance weaponry.

Also, identify the main guns target and pick sponson weapons that compliment it. I.E. The vanquisher is Anti-tank, so take MMs or PCs as sponsons. Bolters are wasted when you are shooting av12+. Executioners have mid S and high AP weapons, compliment them with PC sponsons or bolters.

IMO, you have enough anti-tank to make the vendettas superfluous.

Do you think maybe that I should replace the Vendettas with something else? I thought they were a good choice to soak up fire and to really bring the beat down on somthing I needed dead on turn two.

Definately. 260 points is a big sink for 6 lascannons, in a list with ridiculous anti-tank.

Your hydras should deal with enemy fliers.

I'm going to suggest a Vulture with twin linked punisher cannons (they look awesome and put out serious fire power). They have Vector Dancer, so you can prance about in the sky and line up some easy backfield kills.

If a Vulture doesn't interest you, more LRs...

Can Imperial Knights ally with ABG? That could be a cool combo.

Also you mentioned contesting objectives but I don't believe vehicles are denial units?

Just came back from the Tournament, list didn't do so well haha.

From what I learned, more Demolishers are the way to go. STR 10 AP 1 will deal with any issue that you encounter. Especially when your commander can make that round ignore cover.

Vanquisher's with Beast Hunter Shells are amazing, easily the bread and butter to this army. Seeing the look on your opponent's face when you one shot their Dread knight/wraith knight/ riptide is amazing.

In 1850 General Grizmund isn't worth it. It's a lot ob points that won't be used and there is no need to have more than two battle cannons, also you're eating up a beast hunter Vanqusiher.

Believe it or not, the Exterminator's got a lot of work done. They poured a lot of shots out and drew fire due to their high rates of fire.

Am I right in thinking Hydras do not have interceptor and are side armour eleven? I imagine any flyer heavy list will batter them the turn their fliers come in. This could make things v sticky if you drop the vendettas.

That is essentially what happened. Two Stormravens came in that turn and immediatly destroyed one of them and shook the other, leaving them rather useless. I have reworked my list a little bit though. What do you all think of the second go around?
