Looks like a solid base for a list, but a few things to note:

 

1. The rules don't disallow them, but I believe the Emperor's Children didn't really have librarians, as they were considered to be an imperfection. If you wanted another 3rd HQ, a Master of Signal would probably synergise well with this...

2. Have you considered taking Eidolon (or a counts as) instead of the Praetor?

3. That 10 man assault squad might be a tad too squishy. With a reasonable amount of anti-tank, you might be better off dropping unit-wide melta bombs to just the sergeant for more bodies.

4. The support marines would probably be better off as combi-plasma seekers, although you've used all your fast attack slots, so maybe vets? Food for thought.

 

Overall, the general premise of the list looks good to me, providing the open blade survives for the rest of the army to arrive in turn 2!
