So I'm not a fan of Centurions... without the Commander/Tigurius Buffs and Chapter Master tanking the hits, they're not a force to be frightened of without Landraider support, to get them into range.
So back the drawing board.

Lol, back to beastpack?
Thought the centurions would struggle in that list to be honest, as you say, what makes Nicks nasty is the mix he puts in there.
40k- Space marines(5000 pts) Imperial guard (3000 pts) Tau (3000 pts)
Epic 40k-Space marines/Imperial Guard(2000 pts)
Infinity Yu jing (Aprox 1000 pts)
Necromunda Escher
Mad capsules Avalanche
Blood bowl Skaven

having never faced the beast pack I can't really comment. Wraith knights are nasty though!
I am thinking of dropping my devastators, not sure though, they are a nice threat and protected by the pfg of the Libby they work ok, but damage output is not that great and I think I want the Libby going forward with the command squad so he can keep in range of and buff the big squad. Could swap them for 3 tml/hb speeders - not tried these in a while and I know they get murdered by ignore cover stuff, but I really like them and want to see if they work. They could hang just behind the Libby and benefit from his pfg but still might be a bit too fragile?
Here's the new list, changes in bold, have dropped a Rhino, infra visor on the Libby, as well as the devs:
Azrael 215
Librarian - bike, pfg, lions roar (combi plasma cannon) 135
Ravenwing command - 5 bikes, apothecary, 1 grenade launcher 230
Ravenwing Attack Squadron - 3 bikes, 2 flamers, attack bike - multi melta 135
Ravenwing Attack Squadron - 3 bikes, attack bike - multi melta 135
Tactical squad - 5 marines, lascannon 90
9 Ravenwing Black knights - 1 grenade launcher 378
3 typhoon speeders 225
Chapter Master - bike, artificer armour, storm shield, power fist 210
Tactical squad - 5 marines, plasma cannon 85
Total 1850
40K - Dark Angels, Dark Eldar, Necrons; Lord of the Rings - lots; Bloodbowl - Dwarves, Wood Elves; SAGA - Anglo Danes & Welsh; Guildball - Morticians, Engineers; Dropzone/fleet - Shaltari

Looks good Chris, I really like the list! Loads of tactical options, could you find the pts/models for a squad of Bikes with 2 Grav Guns? Maybe instead of a Tactical squad and Lions Roar?
Nick I like your list!
the Mobile cover and guns of the Landraiders are great, I would be tempted to swap out a Tactical squad for a Bike squad and then a Landraider to a GK Landraider, this gives you an option to hide Coteaz and a Acolyte squad in the KP mission, plus the bikes give you ANOTHER mobile scoring unit.
