The 1300 point list isn't really competitive list, just a list of what I have assembled and painted. For Zone Mortalis games, I'll either just drop the Heavy Support squad or make an entirely different Pride of the Legion list with a Delegatus instead of a Praetor.
But, the 2500 point list is what I'm really building towards. The Ironwing requires that I not have more units without the Tank type than those with the Tank type and that every Infantry model start the game in a Transport. So, that's why the Heavy Support Squad has a useless Rhino. The Rite also lets every vehicle ignore the first failed dangerous terrain check (so that's why there are no dozer blades), gives all Dreadnoughts Fear and Tank Hunter, gives all Tank squadrons +1 BS (so BS 5), and gives +1 to wound to rapid fire, pistol, and salvo weapons within 12" (including sniper rounds). This is my motivation behind dual Kheres Contemptors, because they can devastate heavy armour by fishing for rending sixes with 12 shots and Tank Hunter. I'm going with the Contemptor-Mortis because it's a few points cheaper and gives me a good potential for AA coverage. This is also my motivation behind the Predator and Vindicator squadrons, because I want to take advantage of the high BS the Rite provides. In an ideal situation, the Vindicators should be able to do a lot of damage to armour (or 2 wound Terminator squads) and the Predators will throw out 30 high strength BS5 shots to try and drown units in saving throws. My plan is to sit back and shoot and only dislodge troops either when an enemy gets near my lines or to mop up things that the shooting can't take care of.
One thing I'm considering, though, is dropping the Heavy Support Squad to get a third Laser Destroyer and get the Squadron Command Tank which will give the three of them Tank Hunter. That would leave me with 120 points to spend. A Tactical Squad with no Chainswords, no Artificer on the Sergeant, and no Extra Armour is only 160, so I would have to drop the other Extra Armour on the Rhinos (15), the Armoured Ceramite on the Land Raider (20), and "downgrade" the Thunder Hammer on the standard bearer to a Chainfist (5) to make up the cost. This would give me another scoring unit and a Vindicator Squad that has a decent chance of wrecking Flare Shielded Spartans in one round of shooting. I'm also not sure how useful the Heavy Bolter squad will be given that they have to get out of their Rhino on turn one, wasting a round of shooting. That said, I'm worried such a Vindicator squad might be overkill and make people throw things at me (9 twin-linked BS5 S9 AP1 Ordinance Tank-Hunter shots could have that effect).
