Any help at creating a 1500 pt list would be appreciated. The thing I would probably auto-include no matter what is the Fire Raptor Gunship because it is awesomesauce Thanks for the advice!

Moving to a more appropriate forum, giving a friendly bump.

You might want to focus on objectives, having some fast moving objectivecleaners (bloodthirster, daemonprince with wings) and some mobile expendeble troops (deepstriking bloodletters).
For home deployment zone, ally marines with rhino next to obliterators and nurgle prince (cheap, no wings) as HQ.

I think you have points left for a soulgrinder to intimidate midfield and/or deal with anything unsuspected surprice in the enemy force.
