Howdy all. Looking for input on a list I threw together, combined arms kind of concept. Solid firebase to take out high priority targets, and good assault units to get in and do what the boys in red do best.

Batallion detachment

Smash Captain: Angel's Wing, thunder hammer, storm shield (Warlord, Artisan of War)
Librarian Dreadnought: furioso fist, furioso force halberd, meltagun
Scouts: 4x bolters, bolter/chainsword on Sgt
Scouts: 4x bolters, bolter/chainsword on Sgt
Tactical squad: 3x bolters, 1x plasma gun, chainsword/combi-plasma on Sgt
Razorback: twin assault cannon, stormbolter

Spearhead detachment

Lieutenant: Veritas Vitae, power sword, master-crafted boltgun
Predator: autocannon turret, lascannon sponsons
Predator: autocannon turret, lascannon sponsons
Vindicator: demolisher cannon, stormbolter

Vanguard detachment

Chaplain: jump pack, crozius arcanum, bolt pistol
Death Company: jump packs, 5x chainsword/bolt pistol, 1x power sword/plasma pistol, 1x thunder hammer
Dreadnought: twin lascannon, DCCW w/ stormbolter
Furioso Dreadnought: frag cannon, furioso fist w/ heavy flamer
Relic Sicaran Battle Tank: twin accelerator autocannon, heavy bolter, lascannon sponsons

TOTAL: 2000 pts, 10 CP

Plan is for the predators, sicaran, dreadnought, and lieutenant to form a fire base. Furioso, vindicator, razorback, and librarian advance towards the enemy and thin out hordes - vindicator also acts as a distraction carnifex. Smash Captain will come in when needed and take out high priority targets, chaplain will support death company wherever they are needed - thinking they can either deep strike or move up with forlorn fury strategem depending on the game. Thoughts?

Looks like a battle plan.
Well, the DC is too small for my liking and Lemartes could buff the DC.

If you use 3 predators you get access to killshot. I would use them just with autocannons, and add a dev squad with LC, PC, HB, ML and cherub, to get access to flakk missile and hellfire shells. Cherub can be used with the two stratagems to shoot again for 2D3 MW. Drop the frag cannon, its pathetic, 8" range for 38 points. Your dread may never get close enough. Use the points on the dev squad.
