Just a list of 2 plain formations:
Armoured Task Force:
-Techmarine; -servo harness, -3x servitors
-Vindicator Squadron: 3x vindicators each with a storm bolter
-Vindicator Squadron: 3x vindicators each with a storm bolter
-Predator Squadron: 1x Predator Annihilator
-Predator Squadron: 1x Predator Annihilator

1st Company Task Force:
-Terminator Squad: stock
-Terminator Squad: stock
-Terminator Squad: stock
-Terminator Squad: stock

So vindicators just sit making a presence on the table, predators take out ranged targets, and terminators can either DS on objectives or go for other targets.
Playing around with the tanks, i do believe i can keep them alive long enough to use them to their full capability. What do y'all think?

I'm not an expert on Iron Hands, but this list looks pretty fearsome, but how do plan on taking out flyers?

Also Deep Striking Melta Squads will be a problem.

Hmmm, not so sure about how the terminators will perform, I'd want a land raider in there. I can't remember how many points they are or the formation bonus. If they could be drop podded so three squads come in turn one that would be scary though.

It's good to keep a unit of vindicators in reserves , or even both in the right match up. That way they can come in mega-blasting! Few interceptoring units will be able to stop their special trick (except for maybe Tau). Maybe do one big vindicator squadron and separate ones for the rest?
