I don't like the MSU Acolytes in the Psybacks with Meltaguns. Whilst they give you melta I think keeping these guys as MSU squads with no upgrades in the LasPlas Razorbacks is a better bet. You then can move the Psybacks upfield with the GKSS and have backfield scoring.

From there we have a massive rock. LRC + DCA/Crusaders + Libby + Techie is 700+ points. This is bad. At 2500 this is worse. There is more firepower which drop this type of unit and whilst 3+ cover is nice, it won't save it. I'd scrap this idea completely honestly. If you want DCA units I'd use them in smaller numbers as counter-assault units. 6-7 + some acolytes in Chimeras alongside Techies work great and the Chimera can still contribute to the battlefield. Use the spare Heavy slot on another Dreadnought. You then have the issue of what to do with the Libby. If you take him I'd run him with a large GKT squad and have them hold your midfield. 2+/3++* is pretty hard to shift and with BroBanner + Psybolt, they are scary in combat and with shooting.

If you do this though...well what's the point of the counter-assault units? So I'd go with one or the other. DCA in Chimeras w/Techies or GKT with Libby. From there fill out your Troops with Strike Squads and Razorbacks, Elites with Purifiers and Razorbacks and Fast Attack with Interceptors. Each squad should have a Hammer (preferably master-crafted) and psycannon to create your midfield, put feet on the floor and give you firepower. Which unit you take depends on what slots are available. If you take the Techies + DCA for example, you won't have any Elites with the Vindicare so you drop points on the Interceptors, etc.
