A cool list! I think that you need some more drop pods to get everything up close, though. Perhaps you can drop a contemptor for a frag furioso, which should free up enough points for a couple of pods, while still retaining your templates. The leviathan looks like a solid walker, if one that you want to pony up for a dreadnought drop pod.

I know it's heresy, but how do you feel about rolling up one spell on Malefic for your librarian furiosos? This can be a quick way to get some extra bodies (and with your low model count, they probably won't get in the way). I tried this one game and had a lot of fun doing it, eventually summoning a squad of horrors and a tzeentch herald (which is especially nice if you should roll it up, as your vehicle army won't take any 'wounds' as a result of a successful cast of Summoning; roll up just one herald, and he can do your summoning from then on out).

I agree with Thantos, you have an army kickass dreadnaughts that are definetly going to do some damage in close combat.

But getting there is the problem, I once ran a similar list of maulerfiends and hellbrutes: I almost always gave away first blood. I would definitely suggest taking lots of drop pods and get those dreadnoughts closer.

One final thought, if you come against flyers you would be hard pushed to rid yourself of them. Not being a BA player I would not know what to take, but think on it.

Thanks man.
I also have a 1750 point list that adds in 5 extra drop pods
I havent thought of flyers, I guess the only way to beat them is to get lucky on mysterious objective rolls, or force them to hover or be destroyed (with the classic "be 17.9 inches away when it HAS to pivot 90 degrees or be forced off the table" trick)
