Just took a squiz at the list and I do like it.
Thank you for upgrading the civilian vehicle. Very happy about this.
If you do not mind I will bring over JTG's quotes over to here (where they actually belong) to talk about the rest:

as a longtime GSC player, i like the list (except lictors, which i still dont feel have a place, even if their statlines are useful. i'd rather have smaller teleporting genestealer formations myself)
Now that it is brought to my attention, I tend to agree (although I would hate to lose the sniper ability). If we are going to be purist about it, I say possibly try JTG's idea (teleporting Genstealers) as it may add as much as we lose from the loss of the Lictors. It does not change the dynamic of the list nor the look of it so it is an easy change (trial).
Thoughts?

i utterly loathe the hyper predator. its just super-wrong and utterly against the fluff i agree as to the possability of something bigger. i suggest that you expand the looted PDF elements to include Firestrike launchers (ala mossinians) and if you want a "big thing" then a stolen superheavy would be ideal (limited in number of course, and i'd recommend the slightly down-gunned versions i've used in my bloody hand list, as it fits the general "not quite as good as the main imperial tanks" theme you've got going) aside from those changes, i think the list is pretty much 'where it should be'
At the risk of agreeing with JTG twice in the one thread
I am not really too fussed with a Hyper Predator (pretty much *meh*) and does add something for the larger scale, however I really do love the idea of the looted PDF elements and stolen Super Heavies - the list needs these at an Epic scale. The fact that they are less useful (?) I think is 'swallowed' by the scale of Epic and is really not necessary in representation (although I am sure people will create what they want).
So overall, I like the list.
I would REALLY like the list with the above changes however (bring on v0.5). The ideas above add rather than detract from the theme, they keep it fluffy (purist), and tailor it to your biggest fans
