I am playing in a tournament next week and I have this list here that I think will work well. A friend has asked me to try it out against him and his ravenwing list. I don't want to alter it too much but I am open to change if the bike list beats me. So here it is:

tactics: Ultramarines

HQ
Captain w/ artificer armour, burning blade, melta bombs and stormshield- 185

Troops
X2 10 man Tactical Marine Squads w/ flamer, multi-melta, veteran sarge and drop pod- 205 each

Elites
5 man Sternguard Squad w/ 5 combi-grav and drop pod w/ deathwind missile launcher- 220
5 man Assault Terminator Squad w/ 5 TH and SS, and land raider crusader w/ multi-melta-485

Heavy Support
Stormraven Gunship w/ twin linked multi-melta-200

The plan is for the sternguard bomb to come down on a command squad or other expensive vital unit. The reason I gave them grav was to deal with infantry and vehicles while still putting out a lot of shots. Then the tac squads take middle ground or concentrated objectives and hold there. I gave them flamers for the bikes, or other CC and multi-meltas for anti-armour should there be any. The landraider crusader brings the captain and assault termies to sweep across the board or concentrates on one of the harder to get objectives. The stormraven then provides anti air and support to the tac squads when done. So what are your guys thoughts on it? Any advice would be very helpful!
