This is almost exactly like the list I took to nova last year, however I took only 3 skitarii vanguard 2 arc rifle squads 1 plasma squad with my warlord, then I took 5 pods with sanguinary priest and sniper scout squad. For the skyhammer I took the devs at 10 man squads with 4 grav to combat squad them, I did 1 ten man assault squad with veteran Sargent with Eviserator and 2 flamers and another Eviserator. The other squad was 5 man 2 flamers and veteran Sargent with Eviserator, it's a fun list

Just did the math and you only need to trim 180 points, I would drop the tactical squad for a scout squad and maybe trim down 2 arc squads to 5 man

How well did you end up doing in Nova and what should I be watching out for?

I did pretty well at nova but you really don't have enough units with that style of drop list to take on and beat gladius. They have far to many objective secured units to kill them all and they win by attrition. You can do okay against Death Stars because you can spread out on the table but they're still a pain. Drop pods is much more dangerous now especially with the resurgence of tau and their interceptor. Eldar warp spider spam will also give you trouble because they will run out of range of your guns. I mainly play war convocation now because it's a better tac list.
