Looking to see how competative this list is. It has a couple of had hitting units and plenty of mobility. I am unsure as to weather it would be too much of a glass hammer.
C&C Please!

2000 on the dot.
Assault terminators with 2 TH/SS go with Libby in a Storm Raven, Assault Terminators with 3 TH/SS go in 2nd Storm Raven with one of the priests. 2nd Priest goes with ASM in LRC.
I am not sure how i feel about the Speeders, was going to use them to pop armour and contest objectives. This army really does not pose much of a threat over 24" and that is where i am concerned as there are only 2 lascannons (and 8 blood strike missiles). I could replace the speeders with another libby to join the LRC squad and have another 6" shield. I would have 20 points left over at that point that I dont know what do with. I could also drop the Libby and Speeders and take Mephi leaving me with 45 pts, but there would be no Shield.
Thoughts?

I think it's a pretty sweet list. Dropping the speeders for the second Libby option seems like a good idea. I'd try to get some points for EA on your big vehicles.
Those extra 20 points can get EA on one of your SRs or LR. If you end up attaching a Libby to the 10 man squad, it'll probably be better suited as an assault squad over anti-tank. You can mess with the war gear to free up more points for another option of EA.

A few things:
I would get rid of the pw/flamer combo on the ASM in the razorbacks. They will most likely be sitting back. A 5 man squad isn't something that you will stick into combat alot of the time. That's 40 mor points you can spend (Another CC Termie)
I am having a hard time with the assault squad in the LRC. They are a good unit but not a great one, I like to reserve the LRC for Terminators. I would maybe drop them in favour of more las/plas razors.
I like speeders but I love attack bikes more. YMMV
If you want more >24" power I would go with LC or PC on the SR, but it depends on what armies you intend to face.
I didn't want to suggest the typical net list of razorspam so I hope this helps

That's an interesting point. You are paying 200+ pts for a non-fast transport for a unit that can move pretty fast with jump packs.

After taking in the above comments, what about this:
HQ:
Libby w/ TDA/SS
UR and Shield
Honor Guard
Plasmaguns x4
Rhino
Elite:
Assault Termies 2x TH/SS
Assault Termies 3x TH/SS
Sang Priests x2
Troop:
Assault Squad x5
Las/Plas Razorback
Assault Squad x5
Las/Plas Razorback
Assault Squad x5
Las/Plas Razorback
Fast Attack:
Land Speeder Typhoon
Attack Bikes x2 w/ MM
Heavy Support:
Storm Raven w/ EA
Storm Raven w/ EA
Leaves me with 15 pts to play with. Same set up as before libby and assault termies in SR, 2nd SR with 3x TH/SS and Priest.
Typhoon and Lascannons offer long range support, Attack Bikes zoom around popping armour. Terminators squish stuff inside.

15 pts + Typhoon = 2 more MM ABs. Depends on what flavor you like.
