I would love to get some comments/criticisms on the below list: It is for tournaments and isn't designed for one enemy in particular:

HQ
Master
Terminator Armor, Thunder Hammer, Storm Shield, Adamantine Mantle (170)

Elite
Dreadnought
Assault Cannon, Heavy Flamer, Extra Armor in Drop Pod (150)
Terminator Assault Squad
Sgt with T Hammer & SS; rest with Lightning Claws - Furious Assault (215)

Troops
Tactical Squad (231)
10 Marines; 1 vt. sgt with power fist; Flamer, Las Cannon
Drop Pod

Tactical Squad (230)
10 marines; 1 vt. sgt with power fist; melta gun, missile Launcher
Drop Pod

Tactical Squad (201)
10 Marines; 1 vt sgt with power fist, Flamer, Lascannon
(This squad will ride in Land Raider)

Scout Squad (123)
6 scouts; 5 sniper rifles, missile launcher

Heavy Support
Land Raider - Smoke Launcher (253)
Land Raider Crusader - Smoke (268)

Ideas:
The captain and the terminators will ride in the Crusader and are primarily used to take on opposing troops on objectives - Thunder hammers also make enemy tanks vulnerable

Drop pod troops land on top of enemy positions (and objectives)
- kind of knock them off and take it
- Also very versatile and I can put them wherever the enemy is weakest and/or I need them
Dreadnought will land on top of enemy positions (and objectives)
- a knock the enemy off the objective

Scouts are used to support and to hold home objective

On tac squad will ride in Land Raider and go after enemy and objectives. - supporting terminators when needed

In terms of the captain - that is the terminator captain I have built - Other option would be a terminator librarian or chaplain.

It's a mixed bag of assault out of land raiders, sit back and try to kill a tank with 1 unit, and drop pod units.

It doesn't work well that way.

Give yourself a focus and go with it. All drop, or all in on the LR assault.

Placing a squad of Plasma Cannon/Heavy Bolter Devastators on your home objective will work better than the scouts.

Stelek is right, either go fully mech with LR(C)s and Rhinos, or fully drop podded with Termie (deep strike) support.

Heavy support = can't hold objective

You can contest objectives with anything.

A immobilized, weaponless Rhino will contest it.

People keep forgetting that...
