Thanks for the input Inquisitor, I'm new around here but I always see you chiming in on people's army lists and you've always got great advice so thanks for taking a look at mine.
I tried a test game against my brother tonight who was using my DA with a few bonuses to make sure it acted like a legitimate competitive space marine army and I fared quite well, ending the game with a 2-0 victory. Multimelta dreads actually did their job well, I made sure they were on the front lines and they create an excellent distraction, even when they're not popping transports. The noise marines didn't really do it for me, they ended up charging up the flank in their rhino, pouring some shots into a marine squad and then promptly dying (their rhino lived on to contest an objective).
I think you're right about this list having some definite shortcomings in ranged high-strength weaponry which will be needed against lots of mech so I'll be trying this revised list out against my friend's mech orks asap.
