So if you run into demons you just going to give up? its all grav and one another anti armor unit?

No pod for the Command Squad?

I feel like the dreadnought it a little wasted since I feel like you are going for a grav list.

I am assuming you are having the Librarian go with the Dev Cents in the pod, but what about Lysander? Is he walking with the Command Squad?

To make some changes I would give people pods where you can and drop the dreadnought. Maybe turn the Tacs into running Meltas so they can reliably move and shoot well.

Or even if they fight against Imperial Knights. Grav doesn't do well against them.

What's Lysander going to be doing?

I think you've gone a bit heavy on Grav (if someone brings a horde army or Chaos Daemons, they'll have a hard time killing much of anything); maybe bring some Heavy Bolters for crowd control (since Bolter Drill works with all Bolt weapons, Heavy Bolters can shred hordes and damage light vehicles while your grav weapons go after some bigger targets)

I'd say get more drop pods- the Grav Cannons are just too short ranged to work well with Rhinos, and risk being shot off the board before they can close to effective range.

A suicide Multimelta dread is cheap and killy (and a good distraction) and meshes well with the drop pod; plop it right next to a high priority target and make back your points in one shot
