(I am most likely going to combine the speeders into 1 squad and keep same load outs once I decide which flyer(s) I am taking.)

just general comment of bring deadlier things in your drop pods.
Have any pod that doesn't drop first turn scoring, even then you probably want scouts to have more scoring units.

Currently not many and including your list can deal with flyers.
So bring 2 or 3 stormtalons.

Sternguard could do with combimeltas and I like heavy flamers as they overwatch whilst giving antiinfantry cover, you can decide how to combat squad when you land.

Assault termies are good, having a raider by itself isn't, then not using an elite slot to get a deadly drop pod unit seems a waste. You also currently have death company to handle cc duties.

Maybe consider a BA dread in a drop pod. Or 2, librarian dread is quite powerful, as is a DC dread with blood talons.

In summary bring better drop pods, with some cheap drop pods to drop second turn.
In fact I feel if you get first turn than it is more than possible to table an opponent and win before they get to move. It does require the enemy not to realise that they need to leave less in reserve to not lose.

Land Raider Redeemer w/ Multi Melta is 250pts. Not 245.

A 5man squad of Scouts w/ Snipers does not justify Telion's point cost.

If you are going to bring Blood Angels, you should bring some Sanguinary Priests to give your Terminators FNP.

A Storm Raven might be nice to go with your 2~ Stormtalons.

@Mfletch. I currently only have 3 pods. Would you recommend that I swap out the tac squads and put more deadly things in?
Such as a DC Dread, which I can easily do one or two of.

If I do go with a Raven as well, should I drop the Termies/LRR or one of the Tac Squads to make sure I have room for all the goodies I will be packing into it?

Seeing as I have yet to purchase the Raven/Talons I will probably go with 2 Talons. Loadout recommendations?

@CrazyTerran: Thanks for the correction on the LR.
I could easily bring a Sang priest with my Terminators.

If I do go the extra mile and get the Storm Raven, I'd drop the Land Speeders and mount the DC and possibly a DC dread on it as well.

I would also look into a Baal Pred for a FA instead of land speeders as for the Raven if you are looking for a good load out DC with Jump packs(or not up to you bodys over mobility) and Lemartes = Full of Win
Never been a fan of the LR Redeemer yea AP 3 template but its still a template the only thing i would run the Infernus cannon is the Baal pread just me tho
Insted i would take eather a basic Land Raider or take a San Priest throw him in Termi armor and add a Chaplin in Termi armor so you can justify the space for a Land Raider Crusader
