Putting together a sentinels of terra army and wondered what your thoughts on it are:

HQ:

Darnath Lysander

Chaplain, terminator armour, storm bolter, the angel of sacrifice

Troops:

10 x tac marines, missile launcher, sergeant (power fist, bolt pistol), drop pod, locator beacon

10x tac marines, heavy bolter, sergeant (power fist, grav pistol), drop pod, locator beacon

elites:

5x assault terminators, thunder hammers and storm shields

ironclad dreadnaught, 2x heavy flamers, seismic hammer

fast attack:

Assault centurion squad, seige drills, 2x flamer, 1x melta

10x assault marines, sergeant (power fist)

Heavy support:

Devastator squad, 4x heavy bolters, sergeant (powerfist), drop pod, locator beacon

stormraven, hurrican bolters, locator beacon, multimelta, assault cannons

Tac squads : PF on Tac sgts (and doubley so on the Dev sgt) is typically wasted points. They'll be dead before they can use them at I1. Grav pistol is pretty much a waste as well (imo). The heavies will also be snap-shooting (except the ML which won't shoot at all if you've moved) most of the time. Maybe take Specials instead of Heavies? Meltagun or Plasmagun are good choices here.

Is your Ironclad walking across the board? Could be dangerous for him. Maybe you should give him the Devs drop pod instead? I'm assuming the Devs are not starting in the pod, but rather on the board of course.

You've got a lot of points in locator beacons too. I'd drop it from the Stormraven altogether as it's not on the board T1.

I'm assuming the beacons are primarily for the Terminators teleporting in.

What are your plans for the army? How are you coming at your enemy? Who are your HQ going with?

You don't seem to have a central idea with this list but rather a bring everything kind of list which for marines is not a particularly good idea. Focus on one thing and do it well rather than throw the kitchen sink at your opponents and hope it works!

Sorry, the plan is this (predominantly anti-imperial guard mechanised army), also wanting to stick to a fluffy sentinels army:

Chaplain, centurions & ironclad take residence in the stormraven and are dropped amongst (after a lot of praying to the scatter gods) the enemy tanks to pop them from close range.

lysander and the termies teleport in and destroy whoever is unfortunate enough to be within charge range.

the devastators are to be dropped around 30" away from an infantry unit i dont like (i.e. melta vets) and hopefully force theminto a choke point.

Tacs will be objective takers and assault marines horde-thinners, objective contesters.

again, i wanted to stay close to the fluff as i can whilst still having a fieldable army.

I'm not a fan of using the SR as a transport, but it can work.

This would be good; if you could assault in the turn you deep strike in, which you cannot. So unless your opponent is clueless or extremely unfortunate they'll not be within assault range by the time you can do so.

Keep in mind the turn you pod them in they will be firing only snap shots with those heavies.
