Hi bud first off I'd drop the phosphex off the medusas as although cool it's not worth sacrificing the str10 for ids and vechiles etc.

You have no aa. So maybe a couple of mortis contemptors or a lightning as you have the spare slots

Ironfire loves Barrage, so you could get a 4th Quad Mortar to have two units of 2?

 

Multi-meltas are an awesome upgrade for Rhinos, so I'd swap their combi-bolters for them.

 

I wouldn't bother with the dozer blade on the Scorpius, as it really doesn't want to move. Similarly, the Medusae have a lot of unnecessary upgrades - dozer blades and a Squadron Command Tank is all you need.

 

Phosphex shells on Medusae is a trap - S10 and Ordnance is MUCH better, especially given Ironfire makes Barrage super-accurate anyway.

 

You could save points by making the Praetor a Delegatus. Won't hurt the armies effectiveness a lot.

 

Here's a tweaked version:

 

HQ

Delegatus in Terminator armour: Rite of War (The Ironfire); Terminator armour (Cataphractii); combi-bolter; power weapon 100

Siege Breaker in Terminator armour: phosphex bomb; Terminator armour (Cataphractii); combi-bolter; chainfist 155

 

TROOPS

10 Tactical Space Marines: Tactical Sergeant (artificer armour; power fist; melta bombs); 9 Tactical Space Marines; chainswords; nuncio-vox; legion vexilla 195

• Rhino: dozer blade; pintle-mounted multi-melta 55

10 Tactical Space Marines: Tactical Sergeant (artificer armour; power fist; melta bombs); 9 Tactical Space Marines; chainswords; nuncio-vox; legion vexilla 195

• Rhino: dozer blade; pintle-mounted multi-melta 55

 

ELITES

2 Quad Launcher Rapier Carriers: quad launcher (shatter shells; phosphex canister shot) 180

2 Quad Launcher Rapier Carriers: quad launcher (shatter shells; phosphex canister shot) 180

 

HEAVY SUPPORT

Artillery Tank Squadron

• Medusa: Squadron Command Tank; dozer blade 195

• Medusa: dozer blade 160

• Medusa: dozer blade 160

Whirlwind Scorpius

5 Tyrant Siege Terminators: Tyrant Siege Master (chainfist); 4 Tyrant Siege Terminators 300

 

2,045 points

 

Same points, but with a 4th Quad Mortar and some more efficient options. You could add a Typhon Heavy Siege Tank (with armoured ceramite) to bring it near 2500. :)
