Needed a Character so decided that the Character really didn’t need to be seen so I attached him to an Infiltrator Squad.  The Combi-Lt is there mostly for re-rolls, if I had 5 more pts I would have nabbed 2x Primaris Techmarines, suppose I could take Iron Priests, but this is intended to be generic.

 

Predator Destructors are incredible anti-Elite Infantry, and will add wounds to hordes.

 

Is there enough here to clear an opponent?

[Dracos]

These kinds of list are the reason force organizational charts were created way back when. 
 

I think it has as much play as the Knight list do and for a few similar reasons. 

[Tacitus]

Meh, I have a few lists I make - or try to make - every edition. One of them is the Spear of Macragge - usually Chronus, a Techmarine (optional), a couple land raiders, 4 Predators, a few Razorbacks, and a couple Whirlwinds.  As long as there's OC/ObSec it's not really an auto win.   The cancellation of the FOC chart this time around does probably set us back to the kill first, win second strategy.

[Malakithe]

Swap those characters out for Primaris Techmarines. The Lancer and Reaper are super good this edition so far. Remember that Dreads are also vehicles too.

[Xenith]

That formatting  any way you can make that easier to read?

[CCE1981]

It's the 40k App :(  and I uploaded it from my phone.

[Cruor Vault]

Drop the LT and the librarian.  Bring a Primaris Techmarine and a second squad of Infiltrators.

 

I would also consider dropping the second thunder strike given how much of your anti tank has inherent re-rolls and wounds most targets on 3+.  You’re short on action monkey units and that 160 pts would bring you two squads of sniper scouts. 

[CCE1981]

Taking a few bits of advice:

 

Characters:

Librarian in Phobos Armor - Warlord

2x Primaris Techmarine

 

Gladiators:

2x Gladiator Lancer - Ironhail Heavy Stubber, Icarus Rocket Pod

2x Gladiator Reaper -  Ironhail Heavy Stubber, Icarus Rocket Pod

 

Predators:

2x Predator Annihilator - 2x Lascannon, Hunter-killer missile, Storm Bolter

2x Predator Destructor - 2x Heavy Bolter, Hunter-killer missile, Storm Bolter

 

Storm Speeder

2x Storm Speeder Hailstrike 

Storm Speeder Thunderstrike

 

Troops

2x Scout Sniper Squad

1x Infiltrator Squad - Helix Gauntlet, Infiltrators Comms Array

 

1995 Pts

 

Dropped the Enhancements, they were more extra points anyways, as well as one of the Thunderstrikes and the Lt.  Added in two techmarines for action monkeys, and two scout sniper squads.  Hopefully this will make it hard for units to be shot.

[Mr. Oddity]

I think that's a solid decision. Sniper scouts can do a surprising amount of damage into enemy characters, especially if you can set them up to get the plunging fire benefit. Plus between Lone Operative and the stealth abilities on your Libby and Scouts you're essentially removing the only effective targets for your opponent's anti-infantry. Forces them to waste time plinking at your tanks or just not use portions of their army's shooting. Definitely a "kill more" type of list, but it looks fun to play!
