Obviously a themed army because I love the reaver and hellion models, using the forgeworld void pheonix model as the bomber. However, I'm intending to take it to a couple of local tournaments and although I have no delusions about winning, any suggestions about changes I could make to prevent being tabled every game without completely dropping the theme would be appreciated.

This is a list I have been using similar to yours but with a few less reavers. I their place is another HQ, troop choice and 2 ravagers to handle enemy vehicles.

Also there is a web way portal which offer a whole different tactic in you box o' trix. Hellions or reavers charging out of the WWP is sweet.

Reavers are quite different though not as many and without the fancy gear. This keeps them focused and more importantly gets you so many other units (read: tactical choices).

More competitive but still pretty similar to your theme army.
