Sword Brethren Terminator Squad : 2x Cyclone, 5x Tank Hunters (265 pts) (EC and Marshal go here)

Dreadnought : Heavy Flamer, Twin Lasconnon, Extra Armour, Drop Pod

Dreadnought : Heavy Flamer, Extra Armour, Drop Pod

Crusader Squad (x5) : Bolters x3, Lascannon, Meltagun,

Ok good.

This is illegal. You can't have the orb on a model with termi armor IIRC. I would swap the power weapon for a LC, or more preferably drop him all together. Without getting a retinue of more shooty termis he really isn't that great in a shooty list.

You can put your EC here but personally I would put him on a regular squad and leave these guys alone.

That pod won't help as much as you think. Without drop pod assault we still have to roll to get them in. Plus the lascannon works best at range not up close. I would drop the pod EA and the HF for a ML. Make it venerable and give it TH.

Your going to need more than 10 marines as troops so drop him for points.

Same squad. Same critique. Drop the Razorback as you can't shoot from within and make it a rhino. Now you need to make a choice. Do you want to get up close? If so drop the Lascannon and maybe grab a PW for one guy, and give everyone else BP/CCW.
Do you want to stay back at distance? This fits better with the theme and personally I think it works better too. Drop the Dozer and the melta guns for plasma guns. You will probably want another squad for 3 scorring units.

I would axe the Dozer and the EA, but otherwise it looks good.

The choice between rhino, twin linked heavy bolters or twin linked lascannon is tricky but the lascannon is slightly better value. I find you can not shoot out of a rhino if it is shot anyway.

I guess the heavy bolters were the antiifantry threat. The best way to get this is to take loads of typhoons.

Marshalls are a little pricey for 1500 pts. though with only two squads his ld will be valuable.

Take away the drop pods, some dozer blades and extra armour that do not fit in with a gun line bring typhoons and upgrade to lasbacks, then you'll carry more shooting than any other army but also a gunline that is hard to shift .

For a shoting list you need terminator with 2xcyclone ml per squad
Also your vow is wrong..you should have AtWdTW

First the vow isn't that big of an issue. Either one works but I like having a back up plan, templars can hold their own in CC (even shooty ones) even more so with PE. Typhoons are fine but don't take razorbacks with this codex. 90 pts per lasback is stupid expensive. Rhinos are much cheaper and a LC/PG gives you almost the exact same thing as a C:SM Las/plas turreted razorback. My point was troops are needed as 10 guys won't cut it.

Rhinos are also stupidly expensive but you ought to pick one

So I like the EC and the termies and the pred however for your troop selection I would suggest you spam 3 rhinos with 5 marines each 3 with bp & ccw then have melta and multimelta. Give them smoke and that's it first turn move up 12 pop smoke and make a bunker line of meltas you can at that point cover the entire field in melta range with proper spacing that people will have to deal with to get through and its a nice way to protect your units deeper in. As far as dreads pick up Ven tank hunter with las ml covering the other side of your pred's arc of fire after that you can take Any thing you like but I love a squadron of three speeders with bolters and missle racks for serious firepower. Hope this helps
