IMO, the MOTF looks a bit out of place there. No dreadnoughts, and lack of Conversion Beamer makes it a little out of place in a Gunline list.
Change the scouts to Sniper Rifles. They got a nice boost in the new rules. If you roll a 6 to hit, you can chose who the wound is on, and rending. 10 of these are a great choice. Add a missile launcher(?)
240 points in an assault unit, in a gunline army? While i agree that you will inevitably need some counter charge, sinking 240 points is not good.
Also, Speeders are delicate, very delicate. Being that Bolters, and other standard wargear, can glance them to death.
Preds and Dreads would be good for you, as are Stormtalons.

How are the Termies getting anywhere? DS and pray?
What powers is the libby taking?

Libby will be taking Biomancy.
The MOTF is for the Bolster Defenses.
The Librarian hangs with the Terminators as a counter assault unit.

You want a gunline correct. Why take a MOTF for bolster defence when you can take a Thuinderfire Cannon and tech which can do the same thing for cheaper and offers more dakka to fit your theme. That is if you have a TFC though. Those Termies need a way to get into combat. LR is the best option of course but need lots of pts for that. Your Libby is pretty pricey. A few options would include dropping some Typhoons and a tac squad for a LR but totally up to you

Well, I need a second HQ to unlock the FoC slot so i think I'll stick with a MOTF. I would love to run my TFC otherwise.
How is the libby too expensive? He needs the TDA and SS to run with the Terminators. I think its worth it to protect my Biomancy caster.

Your scouts are not kitted right for their purposes. They should be snipers, with cammo and telion maning your fortification (a quad gun with precision shots at BS6!).
For the price you are paying for the speeders you could have a total of 3 stormtalons with 50 points left (maybe a bear melta speeder if you trim a few extra points somewhere)

Maybe try bikers as your scoring troops, as you lack any mobility. You can pack enough of a gunline with the rest of the army, and they will fit well with the fast typhoons.
Otherwise,
Telion and 9 snipers.
5 snipers and MotF with his big gun, maybe on his bike as well, they can just snap fire. Else MotF with gun and Telion would give him a reasonable cover save.
Anyway, I understand the light armour shooty line, but assault marines do not fit at all.
The final issue for me is that squadron rules are not so bad as to really want 2 FoCs. Drop the MotF and use the points elsewhere and have the typhoons in squadrons.
