Wouldn't suggest starting with a 3,000pt game with a Primarch in it.

This is, in general, a list of models that can all work fine, but you may be able to reorganize/rearm it some to get more out of it.

-Rites of War give you a huge amount of flexibility, power, and options over not using them. If you've got a list that has a Master of the Legion in it (Raldoron and Sanguinius both are) you're ignoring free buffs by skipping one. You're very close to meeting the conditions for two that would give substantial bonuses; Angel's Wrath would give your aircraft Strafing Run (hit ground targets on a 2+) and your Jump Infantry Hit and Run (the ability to hop out of fights if you get tarpitted) but would require you to drop the Dreadnaught, and Descent of Angels would give your Jump Infantry the ability to arrive by Deep Strike on turn one without rolling, but would require an HQ with a jump pack instead of or in addition to Raldoron. Would strongly advise taking one of those options.

-The presence and power of horde-style Legion lists is such that most armies you face will have shooting built to counter them. I'd advise you take advantage of the tools available to you to make your Assault Squads tougher; Apothecaries aren't hugely expensive and add a 5+ FNP to the squad they're attached to. You might also consider making the squads bigger; the squad tax for Assault Marines (the difference in price between buying the first 10 and buying the next 10) is 45pts.

-Encarmine Fury is a great bonus, but it doesn't mean chainsword marines are going to suddenly run around clearing up armies; there's plenty of stuff they won't be able to deal with that a couple of power weapons (swords or axes) would be immensely helpful against. Your Assault Marines are allowed one power weapon per five models and your Tactical Veterans are allowed to all take power weapons if you have the points for it.

Balanced Game: Noun. A game in which all options and choices are worth using.

Thank you for your reply
I will admit I think both raldoron and Sanguinius may be over kill maybe exchanging raldoron for a praetor.

Rite of war I was looking at day of revelation allowing me to bring my all my jump troops in from deep strike on the first turn, the ability to pin units with fire power and a 5+ cover save not to mention +1 initiative.

I do have a few points spear and agree spreading a few power weapons around my assault Squads would be a good idea.

I’ll have another look and see what can be done, thanks again.
