Yes, I have models for all this, and yes, I have finished 6 rounds at tournaments with lists almost this large.

21 CP

Vostroyan brigade (to outrange everyone)

2 Company commanders w/bolters (kurov's aquila)
1 primaris psyker
6 infantry squads: 2 lascannons, 1 heavy bolter, 2 mortars, 4 plasma guns (tasty +6" range!)
2 Astropaths
1 command squad with mortar and banner (part of LD 10 combo)
2 Rough rider squads, 2 plasma guns each
1 Scout sentinel, autocannon
3 heavy weapon squads, mortars

Raven Guard spearhead (for accurate firepower when facing -1 or -2 to hit stuff.)

Captain, bike, storm bolter, thunder hammer (will be a chapter master, mini-custodian biker!)
Lieutenant, storm bolter
Scout squad
Apothecary
Company ancient (3+ relic standard)
Devastator squad (6 men), 2 lascannons, 1 missile launcher, cherub
Devastator squad (6 men), 2 lascannons, 1 plas cannon, 1 heavy bolter, cherub
Devastator squad (6 men), 2 lascannons, 1 plas cannon, 1 heavy bolter, cherub


Astra Militarum battalion (for skirmishers and excessive command points. Who cares if my Tallarns can't move faster?)

Lord commissar
Tallarn company commander (ambush)
2 Tallarn infantry squads (ambush)
1 Elysian drop trooper squad (probably engineers, deep striking)
3 Elysian special weapon squads, 3 plasma guns each (deep striking)


Tactical considerations:
I have nine blind drops, minimum, before my opponent sees a thing.
Recently I have come to appreciate the power of 37 lasgun rounds coming in from outflank and laying into some poor objective camper. So why not bring 74 rounds?
Everyone has to bring something against knights, right? Multi-wound weaponry wants to target... my 54" range mortars. That's it. And then the rough riders when they come in. Wasted firepower.
I have so many command points I can burn a bunch on waiting to deploy my devs until I know if I have turn 1. They usually shoot when they die, WILL hit with that chapter master, and with the stratagems will end up dealing mortal wounds on my opponent's turn. Before the apothecary resurrects them or the armorium cherubs.
You have Cadians? I'll start 30.5" away. What're you going to do? Retreat your bubble wrap 6"?

Options. What do you think of these possible modifications?
A) Drop the apothecary, turn the drop trooper squads into another Tallarn infantry squad, remove some plasma guns & the autocannon from the infantry squads. Add two Tallarn special weapon squads with 3 plasma guns each. Because Elysians are a separate data sheet and MOAR OUTFLANKING PLASMA!!! (now I just need to buy 6 more plasma guns...)
B) Drop the apothecary, squeeze out some more points, and pick up 2 more scout squads... and 4 more command points & board control? (I think not)
