Hello! I need your help to fully plan my first FULLY PAINTED ARMY!

I want to plan an end game goal before I continue this project. So far about 1000pts are painted, I'll list the items I can't change. Open to suggestions on everything else. Big concern is there enough shooting in this list? Am I putting in too much dedicated melee with the Judicar, Assault Intercessors, Gman, and the Chaplin?

Don't wish to remove due to being painted:

Eradicator Squad (also wont be increase this number over the 3 I have)
Intercessor x 10
Aggressor x3 (painted but willing to remove if something better comes along)
Judiciar
HQs are painted but I'm willing to swap them out
V. Dread painted but willing to swap

I have a ton of Old Marines that can be swapped in, devs, tacticals, rhinos, not opposed to swapping them in.

The current plan is to have Guilliman move up the board with the Assault Intercessors + Aggressors + Melee Characters + Apothecary + V Dread. The regular intercessors will stay behind and hold back field / mid field objectives along with the War Suit. The bikes due to their speed can be a vanguard force hitting before the main army or cover the flanks of the main bulk of the army. The Eradicators will most likely be held in reserve to pop out turn 2 and wipe out any tank that needs to be deleted.
