I've two marine lists I need some help vetting. the first is;
hq
Pedro Kantor
level two librarian with the shield eternal
elites
dreadnaught with a plasma cannon and storm bolter
squad of 9 sternguard with three combi melta's
troops
5 man squad with a melta gun and veteran sarge
9 man squad plasma gun and veteran sarge
heavy support
2 thunder fire cannons
1 stalker
transport
lascannon razorback, rhino and two drop pods, one with a teleport homer
Grey knight allies
Coteaz, Vindicaire assassin, 5 man strike squad with psicannon
All of which comes to 1849

My alternative is to get rid of the dreadnaught and his drop pod and switch the grey knights for a level 3 libby, techmarine with a conversion beamer, and a 5 man squad of termies with the brotherhood banner and psibolt ammo. All of which would come to the same over all 1849 points

In both cases the idea would be to have a solid backline with the thunderfirecannons and stalker and then use the drop pods to tie up the enemy while the two tactical squads go objective hunting. With the first list coteaz and the strike squad where essentially a tax for the vindicare. I've played a few games where they have had a great nuisance factor but I'm thinking that list two has the potential to create a lot more hurt especially when the three techmarines can bolster defences to provide some much needed cover for any backfield objectives in my deployment zone. Any thoughts?
