Hello all, this is my second idea for an army list. I'm coming back to the game after a long hiatus and am trying to adjust to the 5th ed rules. The idea for this army is to field mostly troops with alot of firepower backing them up.

HQ
Master of the Forge
Conversion Beamer
Space Marine Bike
155pts

Troops
Scout Squad (10 man)
8x sniper rifles
missile launcher
sergeant Telion
200pts

Tactical Squads (3x identical 10 man squads)
Flamer
Lazcannon
Sgt w/ Power Fist, Combi-melta, and melta bombs
Razorback w Hvy Bolters + Dozer Blade
795 pts (265pts x3)

Fast Atack
Land Speeder Squad (3 speeders)
3x Typhoon
270pts

Heavy Support
Devestator Squads (3x identical 5 man squads)
4x Missile Launcher
Razorback w/ Heavy Bolters and Dozer blade(2x)
580 pts

THis should total 2000pts, and give me 19 missiles, 3 lazcannons, 6 TL heavybolters, and a Conversion Beamer firing in the first round. There is also of course the 8 sniper rifles and Sgt Telion to add to the fun. In an objectives game against a non horde army my idea is to combat squad the tac squads and put flamer +Sgt in the razorback and send them downrange using the Dev Razors as cover/ support. The Devestator squads will each be supported and shielded by a lazcannon toting combat squad, with the Land Speeders and MoTF jetting about to keep cover saves and shooting at targets of opportunity/Heavy Armor. The MoTF will also beef up the cover of the sniper squad which can be combat squaded if necessary. Against a horde army or kill point scenario the Tac squads can serve as the front of the firing line to shield the devs and snipers with possible one or two combat squads in the Razorback to use as fast response / interdiction for enemy units that get too close. The MoTF and Land Speeders will still be jetting about knocking down targets of opportunity/ heavy armor while keeping movement based cover saves/ hugging terrain. The melta bombs and dozer blades are present as I had extra points and didn't know what to spend them on, and can be dropped and spent elsewhere if you guys have suggestions. What do you think? What should I change?

Good ideas. If you get some spare points maybe a dreadnought? CCW w/ heavy flamer in one hand and assault cannon/autocannon/anything long range in the other
