Want to get opinions of this list and see what/ should be done differently. I'm using the iron hands tactics out of the space marine codex, not the clan raukaan codex.

Basic stategy

my chapter master and his retinue of Libby and command sqaud all on bikes goes straight for the biggest baddest mc/ character the enemy has

Tac squads in rhinos go for objectives

Scouts camp home deployment zone objective

Storm talon gunship protects scouts and tac marines and is anti- troop

Tri las predator is anti tank / anti mc

Storm raven gunship is anti flyer/ anti tank/ anti mc

Dreadnought is in the drop pod and first turn drop him next to a valuable enemy tank or mc and try and destroy it first turn

Techmarine and 2 servitors are in the stormraven to repair it and try and keep it in the air longer


Any thought on what this army needs and what to do with the remaining points would be greatly appreciated

Ditch the combi-gravs on the command squad and take proper grav-guns; you've got relentless and twin-linked bolters on the bikes anyway.

Consider going with Clan Raukaan as you can take the Gorgons chain on the Chapter master instead of the shield eternal-everyone will hate you, but they'll have trouble putting you down.

Give the librarian a storm shield-he doesn't have an invul normally, and he'll attract fire.

I'd be tempted to replace your tac squads with bike squads, given that CM on a bike makes them troop choices-more mobility, more durable.
