I am about half way finished building my 1850 White Scars Gladius with allied Culexus Assassin. I want to see what you think and hear your advice. Before I am 100% finishes I want to know what changes and ideas other 40k players have. Please ask question and give your opinion.

Here is what I am intending to do as of the list below. This is meant to give some insight into what I am thinking. It is not meant to say I am not open to ideas. Obviously drop 3 pods on turn 1. Depending on what I am facing that could be 2 melta pods and Culexus pod, or any combination. The grav cannon rhinos have the option to scout up for shooting as mobile bunkers, or hiding before moving if I go 2nd. The flamer razors could out flank or hold objectives in or near my deployment if its an objectives mission. The speartip strike can attempt to force a unit to pin. When the speartip stike unit shoots at another unit they must take a pin test. It is at -2 Ld for every unit beyond the first 2 from the speartip strike that shoots at the enemy unit. For me I have 4 units in the spear tip, which could be a -4 Ld pin test. I understand it is not a given and the unit could still pass the test even if a Ld 10 unit is at Ld 6. If possible depending on opposing list the Khan and command will be centrally located to help out where needed and use the 12" bubble he provides of re roll morale, pinning, and fear. The Culexus is there to pester and focus on enemy psychic users. He has several rules to help with this. If there are no enemy psychic users, he can still attempt to pester and mess with an ellite or hq type of squad. He stands a chance to do some wounds and possibly survive. At the least he will take some focus off other things in my army as the enemy goes after him. I have rambled on to much as is so here is the list.
