General gist is that the Librarian goes Telepathy and sticks with the TH/SS Terminators, if I get lucky he rolls Invisibility which makes them even more hilarious as a tarpit unit. If not then there's a few other amusing Telepathy powers which can be annoying (stupid no Divination). They have the option of sitting back for to help defend a gunline, teleporting in, or using the Stormraven as a taxi. I'm not married to the Digital Weapons so if somebody can suggest a better use for those points let me know.

One Stormtalon follows the Stormraven in, the other has to roll separately. The three of them should hopefully be able to get air superiority (local meta isn't that flyer heavy, but there there are a couple of lists relying on FMCs).

Bikes are generally there to pounce on MCs that get grounded/left in the open, and otherwise act as a mobile support unit. I think I could easily drop the Multi-Melta on the attack bike for a MC Combi-Grav on the sergeant.

The Thunderfires are just going to sit behind cover and sprinkle templates over mobs.

The tac squads are (in non-purge the alien type scenarios) going to combat squad with the sergeant, flamer, and some bait marines get in the rhinos, while the remaining 5 man squad holds the heavy to cover them. I'm not 100% on the multi-meltas, and could easily swap them for heavy bolters (or find the points to swap for plasma cannons). The rhino based combat squads do have a mix (the MC Combi-Meltas along with a flamer), but I think its worth it in case they find themselves in a position where they absolutely need to crack a tank (or wound a MC).

pretty solid list. Like the 3 fliers. how come the flamers on taac, while the seargent has a combi melta? it would be better for seargent to have combi flamer, or have flamer switch to melta.

General updates:

I removed the Attack Bike. The points allowed me to re-add the Combi-Grav to the sergeant, and upgrade the tac squads to be using Plasma Cannon/Meltagun, so that when they combat squad, they have a squad that's a 5 man tank hunting squad, and a 5 man infantry hating squad. Plasma Cannons would help against Terminator heavy lists as well as possibly putting the last wound needed on MCs, Centurions/etc and punishing lists that clump up their troops.

The storm bolter was added to the Librarian, but it was purely a WYSIWYG situation as the model was converted for me some time ago, and it included one. Still, it might come in use if he doesn't roll any shooting powers.
