Hey guys, I'm going to be playing my good friend soon at our local club, and I wanted to have my list critiqued. It's sort of a friendly game but it's also a bit of a grudge match. I know he'll either bring his Salamanders or his Guard. I made this list using all of the models that I own.

Detachment #1: Space Marine CAD (Iron Hands)

HQ:
Techmarine - 85
- Conversion Beamer

Elites:
Dreadnought - 145
- Heavy Flamer
- Drop Pod

Troops:
2 x 10 Man Tactical Squad - 255
- Combi Plasma
- Plasmagun
- Plasma Cannon
- Razorback with TL LC

HS:
5 Man Dev Squad - 130
- 4 Missile Launchers

Vindicator - 130
- Storm Bolter
- Dozer Blade

Total: 1000 Points

Let me know what you think!
Also, what do you think about adding a Knight Crusader and some upgrades to make it 1500 points?

Anyone at all?
I know it's not the most interesting or competitive list, but it's what I have to work with.

I would say, as an upgrade or as a means to re-work this list. If you can, given how diverse your unit selections are. I would attempt to get in that 3rd tactical squad and a captain/chaplain in the list and instead of using combined arms use the gladius for the buffs.

It would also make increasing to a 1500 (non knight) list easier also as with the gladius detachment any of the miniatures / units that you use can count for both the gladius detachment AND any of the other formations available.

Meaning for you to say get a skyhammer annihilation formation added onto that list you will count as having one of the devastator squad requirements for that formation already just from what you have listed so far and receive both the benefits from gladius and skyhammer should you complete the rest of the formation.

If that makes any sense.
