Drop Pod for cassor

-The basic plan is to drop down and kill anything in sight , if the army is not really focused on objective based games do you guys think it would actually be semi-competitive?

So I am working on a similar list at 1850. I have my two Lib dreads and 3 contemptor pattern, along with castor the damned. The list is then filled out by 4 tac squads with objective secured. So that's 10 pods to drop, but here is the big difference: Forgeworld Dreadnought Drop pods. These things don't make your Dreadnoughts get out, and they are opened topped assault vehicles. So I'm hoping this will allow my guys to actually get into combat. Also they come with shrouded the first turn they come on, so it will take a lot to pop them AND the dread inside. You may not have the actually models (pretty expensive FW purchase) but i am sure you can proxy. The list recently went 5 and 0 at the ATC tournament. Something Blood Angels hasn't done in forever!

I am building a very similar army as well except I am going with frag cannons instead of Blood talons. I may end up rolling a couple of storm ravens. But I have been rebuilding crappy dreadnoughts and adding the frag cannons. Not sure if it will be competitive or not...

I've been considering something similar at 1850, but I've added in some space wolf dreads as well
