As a head's up, I've not played a game in 5th yet (last time I played was in the middle of 4th), so I'm trying to put together a list that will get me back in the saddle quickly.

HQ:
Vulkan

Elites:
5 Assault Terminators (Thunder Hammer/Storm Shield)
Dedicated transport LRC (Extra Armor)

Troops:
10 Space Marines (Multi-melta, Flamer, Powerfist)
Rhino (Extra Armor)

10 Space Marines (Multi-melta, Flamer, Powerfist)
Rhino (Extra Armor)

10 Space Marines (Multi-melta, Flamer, Powerfist)
Rhino (Extra Armor)

Fast Attack:
Land Speeder (Multi-Melta, Heavy Flamer)

Land Speeder (Multi-Melta, Heavy Flamer)

10 Assault Marines (2 Flamers, Power Weapon and Meltabombs on Sergeant)

Heavy Support:
Predator (Autocannon Turret, Lascannon Sponsons)

Predator (Autocannon Turret, Lascannon Sponsons)

Anything I'm missing from this? I do want to run 2 Vindicators instead of the Predators (I hate working with sponsons), however it had been suggested to me that the lack of long range firepower is an issue.

I love the list but it just doesn't feel right to me without the redeemer in the mix.

The Assault Marines are an interesting touch, I would give the Sergeant a Powerfist instead of the Power Weapon. I'd also consider dropping the Power fists on the Tactical Squads, chances are you'll never use them, and giving them meltaguns instead of flamers, as you already have horde covered with the Assault Marines and Land Speeders.

Everything else is pretty standard and should serve you well.

You brighten my life like a polystyrene hat, but it melts in the sun like a life without love, and I've waited for you so I'll keep holding on without you.

Thanks for the feedback.

I do kinda want to put meltabombs on the tac squad sergeants if they don't have power fists, but I doubt there would be too many walkers making it into close combat anyway, so going to try ditching those too so I can put the PF on the Assault Marine sergeant instead. He won't need meltabombs now either since he's got the PF, so that leaves enough points left over to slap the multi-melta on the LRC.

The Redeemer was definitely in the "want" column, but at the same time I'm not sure it'd really fit well into the list. I do want to look into magnetizing the LR so I can swap the sponsons though.

Updated list based on feedback:
