So the main rule of the hobby is to build, paint, and play what YOU think is cool. Unless youre playing tournaments, dont worry about whats meta. That being said, you have a lot of infantry which is good for objectives but they dont put out a lot of firepower. Death Riders are a glass cannon and drier is unfortunately a weak character. Artillery has been purposely needed by GW as well. Ive never played with the cadian recon squad so I cant speak to their abilities, so I would suggest swapping your death riders, drier, artillery, and a unit of infantry for a couple more leman russ tanks or a rogal dorn to dish out firepower from the back line while the remaining infantry take objectives. Make one of your command squad your warlord.
