Yes, it's a lot of infantry. I haven't play tested this list yet, but I can already see the weaknesses of it (Massed Armour, Fliers). In theory, my large units of crusaders capture objectives with fire support from the smaller units and razors. Speeders deepstrike in to deal with armour, assault marines and Grey Knights deepstrike in to break lines and deal with big threats. From general looks around the net alot of people seem to favour combi-weapons, but I prefer the Storm Bolters for how cheap and awesome they are

Additions i'm considering are Whirlwinds (I love them so), Vindicator and Rhinos to shield my units (Because apparently a SM list without Rhinos isn't a SM list), However i'm leaning more towards removing the predator in favour of 2 more Las-Razors as I find the predator is the first thing everything shoots at.

I want to keep close to my crusader theme while having the list perform competitively. (I have to deal with Dark Eldar Skimmer swarming, Imperial Guard gunlines and Orks)
