Pregame Intell on Alex's 1500 Iron man list

Hi guys, about a year ago, when I was completely oblivious on how to play 40k, I had my ass handed to me sideways by a friend of mine who runs a ultra marines list which he has dubbed "The Iron Man List"

I guess the HK gaming crowd isn't as big and many urban legends and half-truths about this particular list have emerged. People have said it is possibly the toughest SM list in hkg. I think its blasphemous... even tho I'm a newb but I like the challenge... Anyhow, I'm pretty sure Alex is very confident of his list. I wanted to get some of your input in how my puppies can crack Alex' smurfs... some intell on what i'll be facing;

  • master of the forge aka "iron man": conversion beamer, the further you are away, the stronger the beam
  • sgt. telion: gives his bs to the scouts he's with sniper rifles
  • 3 tacticals squads of 10 men strong... usually armed with melta gun and flamers. Rhinos included
  • Possibly 3 basic ass-can dreads
  • 3 preds or a mixture with ML or LC devestators...
My strategy:

ok... i need a few beers before i can do this properly but I was thinking of either empty deathwind drop pod into his rear with 2 drop pods to distract his iron man while I move up or... since his scouts are for taking wounds anyways, Jaws of the world wolf may be good for a situation like this... I was thinking about putting 4 rune preists... each with their own rhino or all 4 of them in a Land raider and just jaws him to death.... since jaws doesn't allow u to allocate who dies... if the lines touch that character... he must go... no one else... anyhow... I need help... hahaha. please give your 2 cents..
