5 Snipers with stealth cloaks, missile launcher
5 Scouts, Srg. w/ powerfist, combi melta, other 4 scouts with CCW + Bp
Landspeeder Storm with multimelta
5 Sternguard w/ 2 Lascannon
Razorback with TL plasma, las cannon
9 Sterngaurd, Srg with Powerfist, Heavy flamer, 3 combi melta
Rhino
2x Predator AC/ Las cannon sponson
Squadron 2xLandspeeder w/ 2xHB each
Squadron 2xLandspeeder w/ Melta/HF

My intent with this list is to create a good TAC list. I suffered a pretty sever beating last time i played my marines vrs. Necrons. The new necron codex can definitly out shoot the vanilla marines dex. I realize that a good list for facing crons would be one that had more melee stuff, but as i wanted a TAC list i shied away from the thunderhammer storm sheild termis. As such this is about the only unit vanilla marines can field that kicks any butt in melee. Therefor i opted to use Kantor to boost my sterngaurd to 3 attacks each in melee as my assault emphasis. The five stern with las cannon are a good anti vehicle unit as well as able to hold objectives. The scouts with Ml are objective holders as well and the scout speeder with CC scouts is set up to allow the Alpha strike if i win first turn in a match.
Are there any glaring mistakes in my build.
Any suggestions.

Your units are a little unfocused; Land Speeders should have anti-infantry guns or multi-meltas, not both; you probably shouldn't put a heavy flamer and combi-meltas in the same squad. You've easily got enough space in this army to focus each unit on killing a specific target.

Are you suggesting that i drop the Melta HF speeders and instead scrounge the points for double multi melta speeders. I have never really considered the double Multimelta speeder an option since having the ability to go after either target seemed more feasible with this build. besides the ability to attack units in cover and to negate any chance of a cover save with a AP 4 flamer is pretty nice.

So .. was that your intent. Drop the HF for an additional multimelta on each of the mm/hf speeders?

I'm not sold on the advice you got from AnomanderRake
The multimelta HF combo is one of the best combos out there for any vehicle. You move in fast (12") so you can only fire one weapon. Multimelta take care of your foes rhino or landraider, and the prey inside boils out. Then the must worry about the HF or else it roasts em next turn.

Why take only 9 stern in that one unit. looks like if you took a tenth sterngaurd and dropped your rhazor to a rhino you would have plenty of points for another upgrade.
BTW, your list is ten pts short. Its only 1490.
this coupled with the savings from the afformentioned change in rhazor/stern, leaves you with 25 pts that you could add to another unit. maybe slip a powerfist into your fire support sterngaurd squad or drop the ML and add telion to your scout sniper squad. just saying.

i am that which is stuck to your shoe. dont scrape me off. chew me. i taste great.

Your rhino would be cheaper and just as effective with 6 men. 4 combimeltas and 2 heavy flamers works well as you can fire two weapons from the hatches.
Having hatches is the reason I would not go with razorback with the other sternguard squad. At the very least having just one rhino going forward is a bad idea.

4 heavy bolters on 2 speeders is not as good as just taking 1 typhoon.

So you suggest that i drop the rhazor back, and take a rhino instead. that would give me 50pts as Orknididious pointed out the list is 10 pts short, (scratches head, not sure how that happened). That coupled with dropping the two las cannons that are in the first sterngaurd squad would free up another thirty points for a total of 80 leftover.

I dont have a second HF for my sterngaurd nor do i have the 4th combi melta. I CAN rig up a typhoon for one of my speeders, or just add 3 more sterngaurd to the first squad.

well, you could add a typhoon to the HB/HB squad. that would cost you 30pts for the upgrade.
hmms. what to do.
I know your list, you have used it on me so helping you with it is not to my advantage but . what about adding those two Las cannon back into your list and then dopping one combi melta and adding another sterngaurd.
