First, is Deathwing overkill at 1500? I'm worried about the extremely low unit count that I'll have. Otherwise, here's the idea, with an asterisk next to what I don't own:

Belial* 190 pts

Deathwing Command Squad* 330pts
-Apothecay
-Champion
-2x thunder hammer storm shield
-Deathwing Company Banner

Deathwing Knights 245pts
-Relic

Deathwing Terminators 245pts
-Assault Cannon
-Chainfist

Land Raider* 280pts

Tactical squad x6 84 pts

Ravenwing Black Knights 126 pts


The ravenwing is to help me with the turn 1 or 2 deepstrike. The tactical squad fills out points and can take objectives. The Land Raider will most likely carry the knights.

You are going to be outnumbered and deathwing usually die to mass fire. I don't really see why you need the black knights to help one unit deep strike. Belial has a teleport homer if you are leaving one of the units to come in later.
The tactical squad could do with a weapon rather than the extra man; or leave them out and put some sniper scouts in their place. I always like a dreadnought in a drop pod with my deathwing. Gets you something tough deployed in the first turn with the terminators; pop a DW launcher on the pod and you get to pie plate something nearby.

Deathwing is always good fun to play.
