I tried to build a TAC list with the new codex.
Hope this looks ok-ish since I have no exp with vanilla marines in 6th.

Main detachment:

HQ
Tigurius

Toops
10 man taq
2 LC, combiflamer (sarge)

10 man taq
2 LC, combiflamer (sarge)
HQ

Elite
LoTD 7 legionares
Melta, MM, Stormbolter+chainsword (sarge)

Fast Attack
Stormtalon
skyhammer missiles

Stormtalon
skyhammer missiles

Heavy support
Thunderfire cannon

Allied detachement:

HQ
Kor'sarro Khan
moondrakkan

Troop
8 bikes + attack bike
2grav guns, 1 MM (AB)

8 bikes + attack bike
2grav guns, 1 MM (AB)

Any thoughts on what to change to better deal with current meta? I prefer a balanced list that can deal with most threats.. (without too much cheese in it)

What do you mean by 2LCs in the tac squads? Lascannons? If so then that is not allowed. They need transports or they die. Best combo is a heavy+special that do a similar job and a combi-weapon matched to the special weapon.

Tigirius is awesome but no obvious choice for him to buff, particularly given the tactical doctrine.

If you're taking bike HQs then a quint-grav bike command for just 210 points is too good to miss.

Damned Legion are best kept to minimum men using maximum advantage of relentless and ignores cover. My favourite is plasma cannon, plasma gun and combi-grav for just 165 points you remove a TEQ/MEQ unit. I'd only take melta if taking Vulkan or I couldn't get it into the list any other way.

What's your plan for flyers? Storm talons are decent but very fragile in a straight fire fight against equivalently priced transport flyers (Nightscythe, Vendetta) they will lose.

It looks like largely a gun line so I'd say a Fortification is a must. Firestorm redoubt is my favourite, though ADL with quad gun could also work.

Take the Magic: The Gathering 'What Color Are You?' Quiz.

Yes my Colour is Black but not for the reasons stated mainly just because it's slimming... http://imperiusdominatus.blogspot.com

Oops, slight oversight.. I started out with 5man taq squads. So need to change that.

Ever since Tau and Eldar started dominating, flyers seem to be less common, except the hellturkey and I'm quite sure 2 stormtalons can deal with that.
The" gunline" is mostly there for firesupport and guarding the TFC's and (home) objectives(s).

210 points for a 5 man squad is alot, I prefer more scoring stuff on the table (that I can combat squad should I want to),
I feel Grav spam is only good against a few specific armies and I like to spread out my optins instead of putting all eggs in one basket.

Tiggy is there (mostly) to buff the TFC's and to make sure my reserves get there when I want them, and he's a bargain for the utility he brings.
Maybe I can spare the points for the redoubt, it seems quite useful on paper, no exp with it tho.
