I don't have the codex yet but using details from reviews and tacticas I've put this together. It should add up to 500pts but if I'm over or under please point it out!

Librarian with power field generators and divination

Tactical squad, 5 additional marines, missile launcher, melta bomb

Tactical squad, missile launcher, melta bomb

Tactical squad, melta bomb, Razorback with twin-linked lascannon

Imo a Razorback at this point level is too expensive. You miss out on squad-size and weaponry just to take one single but not so tough vehicle costing 1/5 of your overall points.
I´d cut the RB and buy some weapons instead.
I´m not sure about all those Meltabombs either. You can only use them in close combat against MC and vehicles and you don´t really want to go there with your TacSquads anyway.

The idea being that the lascannon could be used to block LOS, shielded by the libby on the outside and used stationary as a platform against any transports or characters. Is it that poor an idea? Alas I havent got the codex yet. Aren't the entry level 3 ravenwing bikes 80 points?

If someone bought dreads or more transports I'd like to retain the ability to take them out easier, as getting into CC with a tank isnt so bad is it?

I'll keep 3 tacs with flamers though to keep the ability to chop and change that though.
