All i can say is i hope you get first turn. because right now starting the game you have 2 rhinos on the board which your opponent shouldnt have much trouble blowing up making those TACs run. granted once your army comes in the game will get better, but it will be less for him/her to have to worry about for a few turns.

Trade out the last two TAC units for 3 x LotD Melt teams, put Vulkan in a DP and try to go second. Watch them Shake their fists in fury at a blank board and then have them endure two turns of DSing melta pain.

Aegis with a comms relay might come in handy too - leave in on the board unmanned, find 85 points for an assault squad in DP and have them drop in on your turn 1 to man it. He will have his hands full dealing with the rest of your melta strike to remember to deal with them, and turn two almost everything else will come in. Happy days.

As someone that's used a drop pod army and gone second it's enjoyable having a blank board in front of you during their first turn it renders their deployment useless basically and they really can only move towards objectives so if it's annihilation game your pretty much guaranteed first blood also
