What happens if/when he runs out of Astartes to drop onto the enemy? 

He isn't stupid, granted, but attrition on the legion via his usual strategy would surely eventually lead to him just plain having no-one left, even if he managed to collect every progenoid gland from his marines.

That's my only gripe, the rest looks pretty awesome.

Thanks :)

As for the tactics, I did some more thinking about it and came up with some more details.

His troops are never used as the spearhead of a force and will only drop as a supporting element. They would also drop right behind the front lines instead of deep into enemy territory and act as a pincer for a hammer-anvil move as his soldiers fight towards the Imperial battle lines, hoping to cause holes in the lines to be exploited. In that way, the main force can fight smaller, more isolated pockets of enemies instead of one giant, unified line.

Once the troops rejoin friendly lines, they will have a short respite in the back lines to rearm/resupply/tend to the wounded before joining back in the fight, either as normal front line soldiers or more commonly manning defensive positions to make sure that the enemy doesn't try to do the same thing they just did and also provide general defensive security.

Is that a more sound strategy?

Eventually he'll end up with an all-dreadnought legion, and can drop [i]those[/i] in.
