This list is 2k on the nose and plays with a solid implacable advance in mind. Terms escort Polux as a bodyguard and dreads flank. Breachers hold objectives and shoot incoming waves. I would like to add a leviathan (not sure of loadout) and some squad weapons to get to 2500pts and could always drop a dread and the terms for a 1500pt game of ZM (which looks fun as hell).

Right, so:

1) run the contemptors in a single talon. this isn't needed, but will help in running more elites in the future. Remember that dreads are not locked as squads when you bring them this way.

2) Bring some Apothecaries. If you're going pure footslog they are a must

I'd almost say drop 5 breachers from each squad and bring some ranged support like rapiers or a HS squad.

beyond that, it looks fun to say the least.

Not taking an special guns on the breachers seems like a wasted opportunity and I totally second the call for apoths.

2x lascannons isn't much anti tank at 2k, especially since the only other ranged guns you have ar bolters.

You're also going to be fairly slow at getting where you want to go and you don't have much power to stop anything scary from getting into combat with you on its terms.

More bluntly - What are you going to do against a land raider or spartan full of terminators? What about someone who's brought a medusa/scorpius/phosphex battery along? How do you deal with jetbikes (especially DA ones with nasty acid rounds)? How do you get people out of rhinos?

Yes, you've got a large amount of bolterfire, and through volume of fire, anything that's vulnerable to bolter-fire is going to have a rough time, but there's quite a few things that are either flat out immune to bolters or can outrange and outmaneuver large blobs of footsloggers that 2 lascannons isn't going to scare that much.
