I do not think you have enough scoring units. 10 marines just seems to be a little weak.
Then as singletons I think attack bikes are a little bit weak also.

I think you could much better spend mephiston's points. Like a single librarian(with shield) and 3 attack bikes or another razorback.

Mephiston got neutered in 6th edition I wouldn't field him I would just get a libby and spend the rest on another Razorback with assault marines

How has Mephiston got neutered? So what his weapon is AP3 so is every other power weapon in the game. Since he has a 2+ save he's even better and can now challenge power weapon yielding weapons without fear. Just don't charge him into termies and you will be in the clear.

Attack Bikes are more like cannon fodder honestly. You are better off taking a DC or something to get better troop selection

Those AB are just asking to be easy first blood.

I agree with MFletch, you definitely need more scoring options.

I have no problem with using Mepthiston in 6th edition, he costs too much at this point level. Points could be better spent elsewhere.

Mephiston can easily get stuck in combat against fearless enemies. He does not have that edge anymore where he can go toe to toe against any single enemy and almost always win. Against an HQ like Gazghull hes dead.

Every HQ has limitations. Mephiston is not the all-arounder he used to be.

Like you will see Ghaz. in 6th. Pick a HQ with eternal warrior, ap2, high strength and a good number of attacks, then, yes, you have charged Mephiston into the wrong unit.

He is now a lot harder to instant kill, which was his major weakness. Plasma guns are the other, which are probably going to be more common.
He now will always have FNP, at least I make sure this is so.

How is he harder to instant kill now?

Most force weapons, in particular HFW, are ap3. You get a 2+ save.
Only shooting attacks like Jaws instant kill, so the other source of instant death are units like the swarm lord. Fair battle against the swarm lord and they can instant kill each other.
