Overall looks pretty good, but I think you're going to have some trouble dealing with anti tank. Double graviton guns on dreadnoughts is great for anti tank, but the range is pretty short, so footslogging just isn't going to work. Against something like a spartan, you just won't be able to kill it till turn 2, which is often too late as the spartan has already got its cargo in position for an assault, or against targets like sicarans they can just easily stay out of your range. Because of that I'd stick with two contemptor-cortus dreads in pods with double grav. If you take that instead of all the dreads you have now, the points should work out. Then to ensure both dreads drop pod in turn one, you can throw a terror squad in a pod. 

 

If that doesn't work out because of the models you have, I'd take out something and put in bikers with melta bombs. With night fight off hopefully into turn 2 you've got a great +3 jink save, and with scout they'll have no problem getting into position to assault a tank and blow it up. To find the points maybe drop the predator? I'm a fan of predator squadrons, but I don't feel like one predator will do a whole lot without a 2nd pred.
