I think your list lacks firepower.
Personally I would drop the scouts as you would have 30 models and up to six scoring units if you just kept the tacticals which is plenty at 1500 points. Devastators are pretty bad as there are other options but if your taking them for the devastator doctrine then maybe, but they wont do that much damage.
My suggestion would be a storm raven or storm talons.
Also for just 95 points you can get a five man assault squad with 2 flamers in a drop pod, or you can take them in the storm raven.

In a 1,500 list I normally run 2 tacs and a 5 man scout squad. I think you could thin out your troops (probably drop a tac) and add some more teeth to your list. One of the flyers would help shore up the AA, or a TFC to bolster the line.

The TAC Ultramarine in me says “take something from every slot” and I note you lack any elites or FA. This is mostly a flavor thing, but one I advocate.

I'd drop one PLasma Tac. With that you can get a Stormtalon and you'll have like 85 points left.

Thanks for the input. Maye let me explain my thinking. The tacs are there to benefit from the UM tactic, and that many two linked shots tend to put down what they're shooting. The scouts with telion always preform for me, I know a lot of people don't like them but aside from tau (stupid marker lights!) they do well, as do my devs. Maybe it's 5th ed thinking but rockets and a las work well for me, an with two more marines behind cover they seem to live a while. One unit ie had no luck with whatsoever is assault marines, I'd rather shoot, fail combat and shoot gain over poor shooting and mediocre melee.

Unfortunately I don't have a tfc, I do have a storm talon I could add, but all of my big units tend to eat 1 las cannon shot and blow up, hence all the troops.

Maybe some bikes would be worth adding? Or double autocannon dreads?
