With adding melta bombs to the assault squads this gives me bang on 1500 points.

Just seems alot of points for a non scoring unit.

Units with jump packs can't ride pods I'm pretty sure.

Something I think you need to be aware of when running this many jump marines and no multimeltas is how problematic a single land raider and its terminators can be. They can assault you before your jump marines get within meltagun range, and so I find multimeltas to be almost a necessity in the new edition.

This is exacerbated by the fact that Mephiston straight up loses to terminators with power fists or thunder hammers. Badly. Another thing I don't like about him is his lack of independent character status. The divination powers are incredibly useful, but many are targeted on the psyker and his squad. I've just never looked at him the same after he was made AP3.

Another issue with two large scoring units is that you can ever own only two objectives at any given time. And you might need to assault something (like a heavy weapon team) that is not on an objective.

Just for comparison, my 1500 pt list features one 10-man assault squad, a 10-man tactical split into combat squads, and a 5-man assault team in a razorback. This gives me four scoring units, and two las/plas razor backs for anti 2+ save goodness.
