Firstly, welcome to Dakka!

Next, we don't need to know about stuff that the models come with by default - such as Frag/Krak Grenades, Bolt Pistos etc. - just tell us what upgrades they've been given (it's easier to read, and quicker to boot!).

Whilst "boys before toys" is a good epithet, here you've gone too far the other way - you've got too many boys and not enough toys. Bare nekkid tactical marines won't get far, as a minimum they either need a transport to get them to objectives quicker, or a heavy weapon so they can sit on one in your deployment zone and plink away at stuff.

The command squad is also lacking - it's normally a great unit to load up with special weapons (usually meltas and a drop pod). If you're just running them for the high number of basic attacks, you'll find the opponent out-runs them easily (as they lack the jump packs of other codexes vanguard vets).

Terminators suffer in the current edition, as there is quite a proliferation of AP2 ranged weapons that make their days miserable. With a LRC carrying one unit, this is less of an issue, and allows them to get into combat (where they are happiest). As the highest chunk of your points, I'd probably drop one of the terminator units in order to afford upgrades throughout the rest of your list (and bring you in under 1500, as you're currently over).

So, suggestions for the 180pts that makes:
Upgrade the Termi Libby to Mastery 2 - this gets you an extra warp charge, and allows him to generate and cast an extra spell.
Upgrade the remaining terminators to Deathwing Knights OR give the DWT's some Thunderhammer / Stormshields and Chainfists - DWK's are absolute beasts, WS5, S6, AP3. Alternatively TH/SS will give them survivability against AP2 melee and the CF's are a way to open up opposing Land Raider equivalents (which you've currently only got the dread for).
Give the Predator sponsons - Heavy Bolters are cheapest, Lascannons gives it a decent chance against mid-level vehicles.
Give the command squad a drop pod - this allows them to get where they are needed, and you can attach the PA libby for extra melee power.
Give the dreadnought a drop pod (and possibly a heavy flamer) - as for the command squad, gets him where he needs to go.
Heavy weapon upgrades for the Tacticals or Gravguns for the Ravenwing - ideally it would be both, but I've run out of spare points at this stage.

These are all just suggestions. Hope they help!
