Default 750, what to get for 1500

So, I've been playing 750 pts against my friends (dark Eldar, Space Marines, World Eaters, Necrons, Eldar and IG) with the following list, but after christmas, we will be going for 1000 pts, and then 1500 later.
Currently, I'm either winning, or getting draws (depending on how lucky i am...) and i would like to keep doing that : )

But, i'm not sure what to get next : /

Code:
-=]HQ[=-

Commander Shas'el Dal'yth Savon 		    110
	Plasma Rifle
	Cyclic Ion Blaster
	Targeting Array
	Hardwired Multitracker
	Stimulant Injectors


-=]Elites[=-

XV8 'Crisis' Battlesuit Team, 2 Shas'ui			94
	TL Missile Pod
	Target Lock
	------
	TL Missile Pod
	Blacksun Filter

XV15 Stealth Team, 4 Shas'ui			    120


-=]Troops[=-

Firewarrior Team, 6 Shas'la			    60

Firewarrior Team, 6 Shas'la			    60


-=]Fast Attack[=-

Piranha Light Skimmer Team				80
	Fusion Blaster
	Targeting Array
	Sensor Spines

Piranha Light Skimmer Team				80
	Fusion Blaster
	Targeting Array
	Sensor Spines


-=]Heavy Support[=-

Hammerhead Gunship				    145
	Ion Cannon
	Smart Missile System
	Decoy Launchers
	Multitracker
	Target Lock

Total						    749
I'm going to add another hammerhead (this time with a railgun), but other than that, i'm not so sure...

I've thought about 2 more stealth suits, and 3 Helios suits in the elites.
and maybe add marker lights to the firewarriors, and add another squad with carbines and a fish. But will that work, or do i need to really "cheese it out"?

Suits, and Fish with more fire warriors. Short but sweet

You'll start to really need anti-vehicle at 1500 pts. Considering your fairly 'hybrid' styled list, i'd go for some broadsides - like 2 at least. A railhead is fine, but for about the same price you could get a really good 2-man team, or two fairly tough 1-man teams. (You've got the bases covered regarding light vehicles though, with your 2 deathrains.)

Get some Kroot too, to fill out your troop selections. I take it you're aiming for a more competitive kind of list, since your min-maxing your FWs. However, Kroot are cheap, versatile and tend to be more points-efficient than FWs because of their infiltrating ability, fieldcraft, and bolters.

Finally, consider fitting in a team of helios crisis suits (fusion, plas + multi-tracker/targetting array) to help kill MEqs, vehicles and flush out anything trying to hide from ur dudes (just remember to give them shield drones). If you still have room after that, then get some more piranhas, and maybe even a pathfinder team or a couple sniper drone teams for cheap markerlights.

Oh, and lastly, get rid of those sensor spines on the piranhas. They're not worth it.

Hope that helps.
