This is my Iron Hands Successor chapter 1750 point list. It'll be mostly going up against Orks. Any critique would be great. the Librarian goes with the Sternguard in Pod to make up a rapid response unit. Tactical squad with Heavy Bolter comes in alongside Ironclad turn 1 into their backfield, making them choose whether to loose 2 turns of momentum or ignore me and let me deal damage in their backfield. Other 2 tactical squads move up to get objectives under covering fire from thunderfire and stormtalon, whilst Chapter Master and squad does what they do and break stuff.
My main opponent runs Ghazzy a lot with Nobz in a wagon, otherwise loads of boys. Should have enough Bolters in there to thin them about before they catch me.

I would make a few changes.

All stern guard have combi meltaguns you can proxy, hese guys kill big boss and his buddies.

Give the librarian a bike and then take biomancy also for the bike unit, take flame throwers.

Don't give all Sternguard Combi weapons, it's too expensive.

I agree that less is better with sternguard combis. 10 pts. each is a little much for spamming.

In general I think you are a little light on long range AV fire. But if you are mostly going against a green tide, that shouldn't be an issue. In a more well rounded list I'd drop one of your tac squads for something with some bite. A dev squad maybe, or a squadron of TML speeders.

Otherwise not a bad little list.
