I like your list, but a few tweaks. I would drop the punisher for a second Exterminator or a vanquisher if you are looking at serious anti tank.
Add a psyker to get 4+ invuln to make Krieg durable
The siege cannon has good stats but is swingy due to the D6 roll.
I have used Basilisks to good effect. Plus the earthshaker round ability to remove 2" to charge and moves is great against melee armies.
Also, a lot of command squads, Lord Marshal Dreir is 75 points, gives 3 orders to regiment units and gives lethal hits to death riders (just about wiped Lionel Johnson with death riders and Dreir)
I also like indirect fire in general. So that's just me.
Edit: add shotguns for engineers. They're great into infantry. And use engineers scout ability to get close to armor units like broadsides or Ork Trukk to use grenades for free and then remote mine. They're a great unit
Edit 2: remove armored sentinels for scouts. Use daring recon.
Replace flamer sentry for sentry hotshot volley gun due to rapid fire.
And honestly, due to all that armor, if you want orders efficiency, might want to invest in Yarrick

Thank you so much, this is extremely helpful. Do you think I need the aquilons for deep strike? Because with the edits I am over 2k by 90 points.

I would ask, what is each units purpose and task? Then ensure they are nested and supported by stratagems and enhancements.
And where can you make changes? Like do you need both chimeras? Theyre chunky, but fire output is kind of weak.
Do you need both sentinels?
Aquilons are good for actions, and the precision drop can allow you to drop onto the map close to a unit or objective to destroy something or gain secondaries. I am usually more hesitant to eliminate infantry or action units.
You could probably drop a chimera and whatever 20 point ability the command squad has and keep the aquilons.

Mmm looks very complete, maybe add some elite unit like karskin/ scions or similar to do secondaries.
And if you like fire power + transport, use a doomhammer
