I would suggest subbing out the multi meltas on the sternguard units for combi meltas. Having heavy weapons disallows sternguard from using special issue ammo and bolter drill, which is a big portion of their use. If they are coming through a drop pod assault, combi meltas should be more than enough to pop vehicles you need to, and they can then pick off other targets you so wish on later turns with their bolter ammo and rerolls to hit from chapter tactics. Another option is swapping out your chapter master for pedro cantor, who gives extra attacks within 12 inches of himself, and obsec to sternguard squads. He also has a fairly similar loadout to the chapter master you have listed, but is unable to take a bike.

It was actually supposed to say combi melta The reason I'm not too sure about Kantor is his survivability really. Im not sure what units would be worth putting him in in this list either.

I've had fairly good results with Pedro. As a ind. character, look out sirs are usually enough to keep him safe from instant kill weapons I have found.As well, you can use him as a decent tank to keep his squad alive longer. While he isn't a slouch in close combat, I prefer to stick him into a sternguard squad as his storm bolter is fairly strong for what it does, and noone expects 40 attacks from a squad of sternguard on the charge, . One of my fave choices for a special character for space marines.

I feel you are to melta heavy and will have trouble with some horde stuff, take flamers on the landspeeders and let them hit and run places.
