I have already posted two 'ideal' 2000 pt army list to the list, a
tryanid and a Ork army. Along with comments on the role of each
detachment in the army, the tactics of army as whole and the armies
strengths and weaknesses.

See my previous comment.

Just to play devils advocate, a detachment of landraiders and dreadnoughts
has no defence against aircraft or artillery. Also many times
you don't get a choice about the terrain on your side of the battlefield.
So if a wood, building or hill where near enough to your landraider
detachment enemy jump troops could charge it without even
being fired upon in the movement phase. Or deathrays could
take out the dreadnoughts, then disrupt weapons could minimise the
anti-tank shots of the landraiders, infantry would then move into
charge range, your landraiders would be very ineffective during
the fire phase because of the blast markers and then your detachment
would be butchered in the assault phase. That is just four of the ways
in which landraider and dreadnought detachment could be taken out.
