Test drive....bumpy

I took the following list out for a spin on Vassal.

HQ
MotF- power weapon/pistol, servo harness
Elite
Dreadnought- TL Lascannon, missile launcher
Dreadnought- TL Lascannon, missile launcher

10 Scouts- 4x bolters, 1x missile, 4x ccw/pistol, sergeant with powerfist/combi-melta

Fast
Landspeeder tornado- multi-melta, heavy flamer
Landspeeder tornado- multi-melta, heavy flamer
10 assault marines- 2x flamers, sergeant with powerfist

Heavy
Ironclad Dreadnought- dccw/storm bolter, seismic hammer/meltagun, ironclad assault launchers
Ironclad Dreadnought- dccw/storm bolter, seismic hammer/meltagun, ironclad assault launchers
Ironclad Dreadnought- dccw/storm bolter, seismic hammer/meltagun, ironclad assault launchers

I played against a Grey Knight player.  He has:

Brother Captain

3x squads of 8 grey knights
3x land raiders
3x inquisitors with 1x sage, 1x mystic, 2x bolters, 1x plasma cannon

This is the proverbial rock to my scissors.  I couldn't touch all of that AV14.  I even got my landspeeders into range. I just couldn't hit.  It was quite nasty.  I ended up losing a regular dread, both rhinos, and both landspeeders.  He lost one grey knight squad. 

I had someone suggest adding a bike squad to balance things out a bit.  I think that would definitely give me a bunch of added melta.  I think I also need to pod in my ironclads. They were a non issue in this game. Their difficult terrain and run rolls were terrible and so, they did nothing all game.  This list needs a lot of fine tuning.
