What weapons do you have on the Raven?

I wouldn't put anything without an invul save in the Stormraven.

Why?

It will take 2 turns for you to successfully be able to assault with Marneus n gang. Even if you use "Skies of Fury" During that time, you can get shot down and your guys will take str 10 hits with no save allowed, thus is why invul saves was mentioned by rossp8.

Ya like draegen said, unless you do skies of blood, best case scenario is you get the cargo into assault on turn 3, and that's only if they actually come in on turn 2. If you roll poorly you could have 600+ points just sitting in reserve til turn 4. Let's say that you roll well and the Stormraven comes in turn 2. You then have to do a 6" move on turn 3 for anyone to assault out of it. The Stormraven will be in hover mode following the drop and vunerable to assault and ground fire. If the Stormraven gets shot down prior to the disembark, everyone but Marneus dies. If you load the Stormraven up with SS/TH termies and it crashes, then you'll probably lose one guy and you got them generally where you wanted them to be.

so do you recommend a razorback?

Drop pod

Where would I get the points? Should I get rid of the storm raven? If so what should I get with the extra points?

I have never had a game where the Stormraven didn't perform. I recommend it. Drop pods are excellent. I run 3 drop pods, but with your list I'd leave it with a one pod list. I think it's smart to have your sternguard in one. I think a rhino would be the way to go for your command squad. If you wanted to get rid of your scouts, that would be enough for a razorback. You already have up to 6 scoring units if you combat squad. I don't think the scouts will be a deciding factor. Overall it's a very solid list though.

Thank you for the help I will cut the scouts and put in the razorback.

NP. Hope it works out for you.

Maybe it's me but I feel 8 combi meltas is a little over kill. You may want to consider combi flamers or combi plasma so you can tackle multiple types of units once you combat squad.

Maybe do 3 melta and three plasma/flamer

How about 4 meltas 2 grav and 2 flamer?
