Everything is basically fine, but nearly a quarter of this army is HQs, and they just don't lift that hard.

My advice is either pick two HQs or try to keep your HQ selection under 250 points total. That goes for most armies I play actually.

You also seem to have loaded up on unit upgrades on the infantry, which is fine, but generally you will probably lose a lot of them before they can use their toys. I find it's good to grab one or two per squad and then take more squads overall.

You can keep the weapons alive longer by using the rest of the squad as ablative wounds, and the enemy can't shoot as many of them all at once because they are spread out.

Otherwise, this is pretty well balanced overall. The unit choices are all really solid.
