Need help against anti-vehicle Space Wolves

Need help against anti-vehicle Space Wolves

Hello, I'm still pretty new to Guard and am putting together my first 2,000 point list. I really wanted to try out a Baneblade variant in this one.

I'm going to be playing a casual table top sim game against my friend who plays Space Wolves. After finding out I was going to bring more vehicles this time, he's put together a very aggressive list with a Ballistus Dreadnought, Gladiator Lancer, Land Raider, Land Raider Crusader and Repulsor Executioner.

Looking through his army I can't help but feel a bit hopeless that I'll be curb stomped. Especially as he can redeploy his units after mine to focus fire down my most vulnerably deployed Baneblade before they can do much.

How can I rework the list to survive his devastating firepower and put in enough damage against his 5 tanks and horde of 4 hitpoint infantry? I would really love to still bring one Baneblade to see how I like it.

Here's my list:
