2400
Seems pretty solid to me. I would take rather SM with maw and more IG's and a unit of 4 MF over 6 leadies. But thats just my personal taste. Really like the way you maximise ME's. Heavy armours really no use on them and even one more body with just a one pistol is great. Mayby drop standard from them? ..unless your playing blood and clory or something.
Sweat saves blood
For small tweeks around the list (which is solid and standard).

I would reconsider the items on the BSB. He gets 3+ AS with reroll - from a meta of hard hitting lords and MC - I did replace the IF and other items with a gw and a 4++. Getting wounded by a S5/S6 will pretty much nullify that AS whereas the 4++ can deal with it over a few rounds.

The man eaters is a point heavy part of the army and aiming for 6 models rather than 7 will still allow you to one-shoot kill a lvl4 T4, W3 on average(Average might still be an issue, I know). But it allows you to free up points for a banner for the man eaters which to me is close to essential. (fire or dragonhide). Also a 7 model unit might be difficult to deploy as the sniper-eater gets too wide with a front of 4 models considering you may want to deploy them last for the 'surprise'.

Good luck!
