you shouldn't mix roles of weapons. the meltagun should become a plasma gun as it is ranged like the missile launcher. also you shouldn't put lascannons in dev squads as they are way too expensive. put them in the tac squads you have and put those missile launchers in the dev squads. also dev squads with plasma cannons aren't good and are likewise too expensive. buy more missiles or some HB's. finally that HB squads should get some kind of special weapon, and you should mount more squads in rhinos.

hmm ok, ill see wat bits i have and try to re work some squads. ill post the list in a bit

I dont believe you can equip a codex command squad with jump packs and I don't have my codex handy to make sure of that to read the entry again and make sure it's legal. Even if it is, you're looking at a minimum of 50pts for a marines (marine is 15, honors is 10 and JP is 25). In either case, just take an assault squad and attack the chaplain. I'd also consider swapping the one missile out of the plasma devastators for the heavy bolter, then the squad has a dedicated anti personnel purpose.

also, ALWAYS add terminator honors to chaplains and other characters destined for assault.

Also, lose the plasma pistol on your lovely Chaplain. Give him a power fist and Artificier armour instead. Maybe even an adamantine mantle. Now, your Chaplain doesn't just kill stuff, he can, with help from an assault squad, make nasty red blotches out of Daemon Princes and Avatars. This guy will be expensive, but pure evil on the charge. Yarr..! Also, why the single lightning claw? If you take one lightning claw, you take two. Else you might as well take a power weapon? Also, if you have a 2000 point army and you are going to take a command squad, you attach a Chaplain and Librarian, give everybody Terminator Honours and Power Weapons, and then... KILL, MAIM, BURN! KILL, MAIM, BURN! Please excuse my chaos oratory, but that give you the best picture of what happens Yarr..!
