EDIT: Holy crap I put this in the wrong forum! I meant for it to be in the army list.  How about this, instead of thinking of this as an army list per se, instead criticize what I have here in the form of a generalist army.  I mean anyone can easily draw up a list to deal with the task at hand, do you all think this list stands muster on those grounds.   Also what might I change around or what tactics should I observe in order for this list to truly be useful against all comers.

DA's are below, let me know what you think.

2 HQ, one Master with storm bolter and terminator armor (DA special only 10pts) and power weapon and one librarian codicier, terminator armor (10 pts) and then fury of the ancients.

6 tactical squads, each with six marines with one armed with a lascannon

2 10-man assault squads veteran sergeant in each with stubborn, plasma pistol and powerfist along with two other marines armoed with a plasma pistol and a flamer.  All with melta bombs

2 8 man devestator squads with 4 rocket launchers in each
1 5 man devestator squads with 4 heavy bolters

My master is so that my guys have a high chance to save against pinning
Codicier to cause pinning and to get rid of mob armies
Assault squads are pretty obvious (granted together they cost me nearly 650 pts)
The Devestator squads and the tact squads are pretty good anti-tank (I mean honestly 14 heavy weapons....and assault on melta bombs, tanks aren't my worry)
The rocket launchers are great for the dual option of frag missiles to take down mass armies.
Heavy bolters are great to take down light to medium armored troops
Librarian also has a decent chance of taking out psychic powers, (or at least trying)

Plus side:  Most vehicles and large creatures end up dead on turn one. 
                   I've noticed that most opponents that are fast are poorely armored, thus reacting with a flamer is generally a good                         idea for counter assault
The army is going to be great against Necrons, CSM's, Space Marines, Tau, possibly good against WraithDar armies

Criticisms: Two HQ's I know its a little bit of a points drain, however, the term armor comes at only 10 pts, and it takes care of my requirement for terminator honors (LAME) Also the terminator armor makes my guys VERY immobile so the HQ's can't really get into the game.

Aside from the assault squads, I have no ability to get into an opponents face. Additionally, two assault squads is very expensive, and is easy VP's to my opponent. 

Have a problem with IG and Nids, haven't tried Dark Eldar

Once the big units are dead, what is the point of all that heavy firepower?


Once again, I know I put up a rough list, and I'm sorry, but please just tell me what I need to think about when this army comes to bear against all others.
