This is a list I have built for a tournament I will be attending soon. It requires a painted army so I am limited in time as to what I can field so bear with me. I am looking for input as to whether this army has a chance or just fall back to my GK (I played Deamonhunters before Deamon hunters were cool.) I have 2 attack bikes, 2 landspeeders, 2 dreadnoughts, 1 rhino,1 drop pod, 9 terminators and a sh@t ton more troops that are painted up as well but I havent included as I think they werent optimal, but what do I know, lol. Enough talk lets look at this list and critique as needed.

I think your army needs a bit more focus, your termies ride in a LRC but aren't really geared for CC, you have a lot of troops but not many transports.
Who's manning the quad-gun?

If you want a tank-hunter specialized Termie squad I suggest to go for the regular Tactical termies, with either dual CMLs or dual ACs, put them at the quad-gun so that you can use, interceptor, skyfire and tank-hunter on the incoming flyers.

I personnally always include a Marshall in the army if I'm gonna have shooting squads on foot to help with the Ld tests.
If you absolutely wanna use the Termie command squad, then take the Marshall, put him at the quad-gun for the BS5 and the special rules mentioned above and give the LRC to another CC equipped initiates squad.

If you wanna focus on a dual LRC, assault oriented army then include more CC equipped initiates, and ideally a TH/SS assault termy squad (rage and furious charge will shred!)

For shooty initiates squads the PG/LC is the best bang for your buck.

Things to keep in mind: BTs now have the updated drop-pod assault rules (could be a good way to bring your initiates where you need them). Typhoon land-speeders are still a good way to bring in cheap firepower in a CC oriented BT army.

Hope this helps, have fun!

Are Swordbrethern worth taking for LRC cc units then?

^ I believe so, but that's because I always get spanked by them

Assault termies, yes, normal sword brethern not really.
Having the opportunity to have tank hunter on a quadgun would be very special.

I would only put large crusaders squads or assault termies into land raiders.

With the current climate I would not bother with the razorback, unless you want it to shoot down flyers.

The question about your list is really whether 2 raiders can work, given what the enemy can have at high points.

The tournament is 2k, no double FOC. The land raiders are really my only way of getting my army into combat. I don't own enough drop pods to make them worth the effort. Is the Black tide still feasible in 6th? Anyone with experiance with the Black Tide feel free to chime in!

Yeah, I agree with phoenix darkus.
Dont put your shooty termies in the LRC, leave them out, they will do fine on there own.

Drop the razor back, over priced, and not worth it for templars.

If you are going to use a squad for shooting, IE your melta/ ML, I would use a plasma gun instead. Just for that extra range.

Also, your AAC doesnt benefit your army much... you basically have only 1 CC squad it looks like. If anything get rid of the razorback, and squad, and throw in some assault termies in the LRC, and have your shooty termies man the quad gun.
