Don't change your assault squads but do give them all jump packs. Use drop pods for tacs.Try to collect in 250 pt blocks cuz it helps streamline your purchase plans and tactics and also leaves you with less points to buy when you start to tailor lists against specific codexes or opponents.
Deploy and move your units by instinct. This is squad level gaming and will help you train in the use of your units faster. Attack 1 enemy unit with either 2 or 3 assault squads (this is a strike force or mission team),charging on different turns can help sustain a melee and also build a tarpit in the middle of the battlefield (treat such a tarpit as a type of terrain feature). Then, after getting rid of the first assaulted target, start to split to assault more than one.. Charge the second enemy with the weakest surviving assault squad supporting one of the other two.

Do not see a defeat as a defeat. Consider it a lost battle on a hostile world. Think about it.

Consider Aegis Defence lines as an upgrade to your army that will grant you a little deployable terrain to use as an assist.
