Hi, I'm new here so hello.

I have some points leftover and I'm not sure how to allocate them.

HQ

Librarian w/ Terminator Armor & Storm Bolter
Planning on attaching him to a squad of Termies
-->130

Honor Guard
Blood Champion, Chapter Banner, Flamer, Hand Flamer, Storm Shield, Razorback w/ dozer blades
I plan on attaching a Chaplain and riding around in a support capacity to the rest of my army
-->260

Elites

Chaplain
For Honor Guard
-->100

Sanguinary Priest & Brother Corbulo
Priest with Tac Squad, Corbulo with Termies
-->155

Terminator Squad
w/ Assault Cannon
Corbulo and Librarian attached
-->230

Troops

Tactical Squad (10/0
w/ Missile Launcher and Land Raider Crusader
I am planning on putting the vanilla priest in there as well.
-->410

Assault Squad (5)
w/ Plasma Gun and Power Axe
-->130

Death Company (5)
w/ Infernus Pistol and Jump Packs
-->190

All the above balances to 1605 pts., I would like to fill up the remaining slots with either another Assault squad at around 130 pts. or a Bike Squad with an attack bike also at around 130 pts. I am also willing to field some sort of tank, I just don't know exactly what would jive here. Another possibility is a DC Dread with Blood Talons at 125. If anybody has a suggestion to where the leftover points could go, I would love to hear what you guys have to say.

Thanks all!

EDIT
I was also considering upgrading the Chaplain to a Reclusiarch. Extra W, and BS seems good.

I'd definitely add some more scoring stuff if you can, maybe bump the assault squad up to ten men, combat squad them if needed, add a few scouts with camo cloaks to hug home objectives or outflank onto stuff.

The honour guard is a nice touch but a 5 man jump packless assault squad would serve almost the same purpose, and still score. The chaplain isn't really getting his best work sitting in the razorback with them; he could go with the tacticals in the crusader and, along with the priest, make them a reasonable assaulty unit if needed. As for bikes, 3 melta attack bikes are cheap and effective, just a bargain for what they do.
Here's an alternate take on the list using the extra points.

HQ
Librarian w/TDA+SB
130

Elites
Chaplain
100

Jump pack Priest + Corb
180

Terminators
5 with asscannon
230

Troops
Tactical Squad w/Plasma gun + free heavy weapon of choice
Dedicated transport- Land Raider Crusader w/ Multi Melta
440

Assault squad
10 w/ 2xmelta and power axe
225

Assault squad
5 w/o Jump packs, 1x plasma gun, 1x plasma pistol (sergeant)
Dedicated transport- Razorback
150

Death Company
5 w/ Infernus Pistol and Jump Packs
-->190

Fast Attack
Attack bikes
2 w/Multi Meltas
100

1745

I added a jump pack to the normal priest so he can buff the assault squad.
So here you have a potential 5 scoring units, librarian and co throwing some divination around, mobile melta ability, plenty of FNP... at this point I'd consider dropping the death co (although I do love them dearly) and finding another 10 points and bringing a storm raven. Or perhaps just taking one instead of the land raider= troops where you want them turn 3 or 4.
Hope this gives you some good ideas.

one, this list is everywhere, why, are your tacs in a land raider??? take TH/SS termies in a LR if you must take terminators. attack bikes are not worth it with BA. drop the infernus pistol from the DC and give them a power fist. I am not sure you can take plasma guns on the assault marines, I know you can take meltas and flamers though. if you want the chap with the DC (most bang for buck) he has to have a jump pack. imo 1500+ you should bring mephiston
