Destroyer Cult (Primary Detachment):

Destroyer Lord w/ Warscythe, Phylactery, Phase Shifter and Gauntlet of the Conflagrator
4 Destroyers
3 Destroyers
3 Destroyers
3 Heavy Destroyers

Simple list for a Space Marine game. The Destroyers rip apart the rank and file (10 Destroyers shooting in a turn is about 13-14 dead Tactical Marines by my maths, but correct me if my numbers are wrong); the Heavy Destroyers target any possible vehicles, Dreadnoughts, Terminators, that sort of thing; and the Destroyer Lord hunts HQs, Dreadnoughts, things that need a specific touch. The Gauntlet is admittedly a bit of a point filler, but I think a S7 AP2 template, i.e. a guaranteed hit, is pretty incredible, especially since every wound will almost be guaranteed (template weapon ignoring cover, wounding on 2+, rerolling 1s, ignores armour and cover saves).

Obviously this is supposed to be a Destroyer only list, and I'm limited by the models I actually own, so other than removing a Destroyer to make room for wargear on the Dlord there isn't much I can actually change; how do you think this will fare at this point level against vanilla SM?
