Ok so I nearly have this entire list in my possession but it's still in various stages of painting. This will be my first complete army that I plan to use time and time again rather than keep swapping units in and out between games.
The army is my own vanilla marine chapter...
HQ -
librarian in PA Force sword and bolt pistol
Mastery lvl 2
Auspex
Fast attack -
Storm talon gunshiP
TL assault cannon
Typhoon ML
Fast attack -
Storm talon gunship
TL assault cannon
Typhoon ML
Heavy support -
Storm raven gunship
TL Multi melta
TL assault cannon
Hurricane bolters
Storm strike missiles
1499pts.
The plan is to pickup the terminators in the stormraven and assault from it. One tactical squad will hang back and hold an objective whilst the snipers support from cover. The other tactical squad walk up the field using cover (hopefully!). The veterans head straight up the field to tackle elites or HQ units with their combo weapons and special ammo. The storm talons provide support where needed.
I'm no pro and only play for fun but I've been messing around for the past year with a raggedy DA list which I lost the love for after the new SM codex got released and went with a homebrew chapter. I was kind of building a list centred around my sternguard veterans as I just love the new models but then picked up the new storm wing box and thought heck why not use the 3 flyers and build around that?!
Comments appreciated, I rarely win but this is the first time I've actually put any thought into a list...

I was thinking about transport and I could potentially drop the scout squad for a couple of rhinos if needs be. That would only leave me with 2 troops though (unless I combat squad into 4 units at the start of the game).
As for chapter tactics I'm not sure, part of the reason for a homebrew chapter was to allow me to try out different ones. I'm leaning towards ultramarines or imperial fists for the bolter buff at the moment though...

Just starting Ravenguard 
the only concern I have is lack of transports for your tacs. Apart fron that no worries.
