Scheme looks cool the list is a bit of a mess and your points are all over the place (also read the forum rules you can't put individual upgrade points costs on the list).
MotF is a weird choice here. He's not relentless but has a Salvo weapon, he's not as fighty as a Captain for the same points and is not being used to spam dreads. Dump him and get a Librarian or Captain. I think a Librarian rolling on Telepathy would help this list. Or even Malefic to get more mobility into the list.
Dread is pointed incorrectly and needs a buddy. A single Dread as your only piece of armour on the board will just die without achieving much. Drop him or get a 2nd.
Stormtalons likewise work best in pairs and taking 2 is good. However the Skyhammer is a better gun than the Lascannon, you are more likely to Hull point a vehicle to death than explode it so 3 S7 shots will do more damage than 1 S9 vs the AV10-12 that the Stormtalon wants to shoot at (AV10= 0.89 vs 1.33: AV11= 0.74 vs 1 : AV12= 0.59 vs 0.67) so for 15 points LESS you get more damage output. Always take the Skyhammer with Stormtalons.
Tac marines need mobility and need a purpose. You've spent over a 3rd of your points on 2 units that simply aren't a threat to anything. Again you've taken a Salvo weapon on a none relentless platform. When they move the grav gun gets 2 shots at only 9" range for a unit that needs to keep moving to get into short range and the grab objectives that is poor compared to the Plasmagun with 2 shots to 12" and the ability to have a 30" threat range with a 24" range after a 6" move (compared to max 18" for the grav weapon and mostly a 15" threat). My advice is to look at Rhinos for them and gear them for a specific role, always take a combi onthe Sergeant matched in role to the special weapon. In general special weapons are most important for 1 turn in a game and the combi doubles your effectiveness for that crucial turn. Here's some examples:
Gunline AI: 10 marines, Plasma Cannon, Plasmagun, Combi-grav 180
Gunline AT: 5 marines, lascannon, Razorback las-plas 165
Mobile Scoring AI: 5 marines, plasmagun, combi plasma, Rhino 130
Mobile Scoring AT: 5 marines, melta, combimelta Rhino 125
Mobile Scoring Horde Control: 5 marines, flamer, combiflamer Rhino 120
Objective Clearing: 10 Marines, flamer, combiflamer,Heavy Bolter, Vet Sergeant Power Maul, Rhino 225
My advice at this point level keep to one of the mobile scoring builds (you can nearly get 3 units for the price of your 2 and each will be more effective than your build). If you don't want mechanisation you have two choices. Either go all bike (VERY effective) or if you want boots on the ground scouts are necessary so you can get at far away objectives.
Devastators are only worth it if you go IF Chapter Tactics. The build you have is good. However like the dreads the Devastators work better in pairs. I'd pick which one you orefer between them and the dreads and go with that. Dreads would be better in a mech list Devs in a boots on the ground. Something like this for Mech:
IRONHANDS
Librarian: lvl2 combimelta 100
Tac Squad: melta, combimelta, Rhino 125
Tac Squad: melta, combimelta, Rhino 125
Tac Squad: plasma, combiplasma, Razorback AssCan 170
Dread: 2 x Autocannon 115
Dread: 2 x Autocannon 115
Stormtalon: Skyhammer 125
Stormtalon: Skyhammer 125
That gives you 7 Vehicles with 19 Hull Points, 3 twin linked Assault cannons, 5 meltas, 2 plasma and 14 S7 Ap4 shots a turn. Plus a Psychic Shriek and whatever goodies the libby rolls up. Or if you want to go boots on the ground something like this could work:
IMPERIAL FISTS
Librarian: lvl2 90
Tac Squad: 10 marines, plasma cannon, Plasmagun, Combi-grav 180
Scouts: 10 guys, shotguns, Vet Sergeant Power Maul, combiflamer 145
Scouts: 10 guys, shotguns, Vet Sergeant Power Maul, combiflamer 145
Devastators: 10 marines, 4 lascannons 220
Devastators: 10 marines, 4 lascannons 220
That list has 8 lascannons with a Plasma cannon for lots of Ap2 and 51 boots on the ground with infiltrating units dedigned to clear out objectives. Again the Libby can through out useful stuff like invisibility.
