The Black Knights, Talonmaster, and Company Master act as a front wave to tie up vehicles, and kill medium targets, while the Hellblasters and Dreads are used for priority targets. Scouts are there to control deep strike ranges, clear chaff, or use Hellfire Rounds in a pinch). I would like to try and fit a normal Lieutenant in this list as well, so I don't have to micromange the Talonmaster. Any thoughts on the list as a whole?

I think with the green and raven wing that the dreads feel out of place. Also the master w JP is redundant with azzy. I would suggest dropping the master for a LT for you blaster bubble. Should save enough points to make the talon a sammy. I would drop the dreads for more blaster. You lose range but gain wounds and damage.

if you really want to keep a Dread i would suggest taking a Leviathan with dual cannons. Give him the DW strat and deep strike him in. Much Dakka on a great Dread

I would make the dreads venerable riflemen, unless DA don't have access to those.
