I purchased a Stormraven Gunship, since I have a fever and the only answer is more dreadnoughts. It's haunted my dreams since I learned there was a transport that can carry a dreadnought. I don't think it's good, but it's an amazing design that's good enough and will be fun to field.
I've drawn up a couple of lists for this spruce goose, mostly focusing on my further love of gravis marine models. When I look at this datasheet, I'm mostly looking at delivering units to the extreme back lines for scoring purposes. Right now, the units the Stormraven will carry in both lists are a melee Brutalis dreadnought, five Heavy Intercessors, and Iron Father Feirros for theme and extra durability. If Feirros can repair and boost the dreadnought or the gunship the turn after disembarking - that's just a fun bonus.
I do have a secret weapon on keeping the Stormraven alive. It's a little thing I'm calling The Distraction Wagon - a Land Raider Redeemer filled with Aggressor Marines. Sure, you could shoot down the innocent flyer... or you could shoot at the meta threat rolling to your back line with twin linked flamers and an assault ramp.
I still need to finish painting - there will be a resurrection of my Painting Armour With Contempt thread - but I'm hoping to have this ready to go as soon as I can. I need to start actually playing the game and improving my play speed.

Firestorm version:
Stormraven Gunship is loaded with a Brutalis dread, five Heavy Intercessors and Iron Father Feirros for a decently tough backline brick. Land Raider Redeemer is loaded with six Flamestorm Aggressors and a Gravis Captain for free use of the 2CP dev wounds on torrent strat. Sadly, there are not enough points to fully upgrade to a Smash Captain with the +3 Strength enhancement. A Desolator Squad for the the backfield - powered by a Librarian leader that is granting ignore modifiers via enhancement. This is more for my love of Desolation Marines. For the midfield, there's a couple shooty dreads and another Heavy Intercessor Squad.

Stormraven Gunship is loaded with a Brutalis dread, five Heavy Intercessors and Iron Father Feirros for a decently tough backline brick. Land Raider Redeemer is loaded with six Boltstorm Aggressors and a Apothecary Biologis for that meta goodness. The backfield is a sad squad of non-Gravis basic Intercessors. My kingdom for fifteen points. For the midfield, there's a couple shooty dreads and another Heavy Intercessor Squad. This time the midfield is packing the Ironstorm Extended Warranty crew of lone-op Techmarines with vehicle improving enhancements. A squad of Scouts are also about for scoring shenanigans.
