I was thinking of trying to sneak in an apothecary into the command squads.

Since the rest of your army is primarily dedicated at killing armor, I think your command squads would do better off dedicating themselves towards an assault or anti infantry role. Keep the two power fists, give them flamers or a company champion and give them furious charge.

wait till 5th edition comes out and the new marine codex. then make the list. It's soon coming and things may change so don't set yourself up for disappointment

You should consider taking a Chaplain instead of one of the Captains. Sure, he's expensive, but at the helm of an assault squad is evil. Take a MoS with Jump Pack, Power Fist, Artificier Armour, Termie Honours and Adamantine Mantle. Sure, you can get three basic naked platoons of IG (not that you would) for him, but he hits just about that hard If you think that is too deviant on your list, take him with a Reclusiam Command and give them all Termie Honours. Ooomph.
