The drop pods can be used to drop in the 2 tactical squads and 1 of the Sternguard squads or all 3 of the Sternguard squads

So if my math is correct I'm at 1822 points and I'm not sure what to throw in to bring me up to 2000. Also if their are some thoughts on what I already have in the army I'd appreciate it, thanks.

Alright, first of on the sternguard, take maxed combi weapons unless you literally cannot find the points.

Next give the attack bikes MM for some AT, For the tact squads you will want to combat squad them, so takeboth if you want but
I would just stick with a ML if those are the only options.

Also all your sternguard will be in the drop pods.

Drop the defense line and gun because most your army will not be able to use it.

As for at 2k points are you allowing double FOC? If so then fill up the last 178 points with 2 more stalkers (150) and then buy an additional sternguard for the x5 unit.

3x Combi Meltas is the most efficient way to use them as maxed combi weapons is extremely expensive and 2 usually isn't enough. Most of what else Arbiter said was in line with my beliefs. Never use grav guns on Tac Squads as they are horrendous without a relentless unit.

Feasible, I like 5 combi meltas because I tend to roll like crap on "to hits" so thats just me, more lucky people only need 2-3 as you say.

Also as another side note TFC are cool so take more if you can, like 2 stalkers, 1 unit of cents, and 3 TFC for a double FOC.
