Looking to make a fun list using DW and Custodes to make a counts as "Movie Marines" list

This is what I have so far:
Deathwatch Battalion___+5CP
Watch Master – Lord of Hidden Knowledge
Watch Captain w/ Jump pack, Thunder Hammer & Melta gun (Beacon Angelis)

5 Intercessors w/ Bolt rifles (including Sgt w/ Power sword) & 1 Hellblaster

5 Intercessors w/ Auto bolt rifles (including Sgt w/ Power fist)
-1 Aggressors w/ Flamestorm gauntlets
-1 Inceptors w/ Plasma exterminators

5 Intercessors w/ Auto bolt rifles (including Sgt w/ Power fist)
-1 Aggressors w/ Flamestorm gauntlets
-1 Inceptors w/ Plasma exterminators

Custodes Command___+1CP (-1CP Open the Vaults)

Shield Captain on Dawneagle (Auric Aquilas) w/ Salvo Launcher & Misericordia
Allarus Terminator Shield Captain w/ Castellan axe & Misericordia
Allarus Terminator Shield Captain w/ Castellan axe & Misericordia

------1210 pts/ 7CP

Any suggestions on what to add that cold bump the list to 1500pts? I was thinking potentially 2 LC-ML Ven Dreads but kinda don't want to add any vehicles

The Primaris special units are all movie-quality. A unit of Reivers would be pretty thematic, as would Agressors, Eliminators, or the Phobos guys.

Alternatively, if there's any way for you to get an elite Custodes unit that can benefit from the Captains' buffs, do that!

The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of a Land Raider (for the Custodes?) if nothing more that it being iconic.

I'm also considering a Drop Pod full of Characters. Have the Watch Master, 2 Captains and a Librarian or something like that.
