Any C/C for the list would be appreciated. Not meant to be competitive but a change from playing my RW. I just don't want to get it handed to me either.

Basic plan, characters advance with assault marines, devs and 2 combat squads with heavy weapons sit back, scouts just scout whatever, 4 razorbacks are there to shoot up infantry and snatch objectives, Dreads come in turn 1 against armor and other 2 pods with melta/combi melta come in after to hit more armor. I will have decent anti infantry ability but will the 4 lascannons, 2 multi melta dreads, and 2 podding squads with melta/combi melta be enough anti armor? I have lots of bolters, 4 heavy bolters, 4 flamers, 4 plasma guns, 2 plasma cannons(considering switching to missile launchers), and 2 assault squads that should break infantry. My biggest weakness is my complete and utter lack of anti air. But I have 44 extra points, any upgrade suggestions?

well when your list is basically chosen for you the list doesnt require any kind of critique, unless you think that your an idiot and forgot to buy wargear upgrades somewhere, and get rid of that awful armybuilder syntax its annoying to look at for tablet/phone users

I wouldn't put the devastators in drop pods - they have to snapshoot the lascannons when they disembark.

Plasmaguns are not super awesome on marine squads since they can't shoot and charge - meltaguns or flamers would be better (maybe half of the squads flamers, other half meltas)

Squads with meltaguns should take sergent with combi-melta.

I would avoid putting plasmacannon into a tac squad - and definately not into a drop pod since it can't even snap fire if it wanted to if he moves.

Couple of the melta squads should go in drop pods (maybe 3 of them) for alpha striking.

Give your dreadnaughts heavy flamers in case they want to alpha strike infantry instead of a vehicle.

Drop all your tactical squads down to 5 man and either flamer+combi flamer or melta + combi melta - then use the extra points to get some ravening + biker librarian in there - or consider the dark angels librarious conclave

I know its not considered the best, but I still like 4 plasmacannon devastators with a lvl 1 libby to cast twin link on them. (I noticed you have a bunch of plasmacannon models so this might work for you)
