Hi guys, I've got a 1000 point space marine vs space marine battle tomorrow, and I wondered what you thought of this list?

Level 2 librarian (hangs with sternguard)
8 sternguard with three combi-weapons
+ Drop pod
10 tactical marines with grav, grav cannon and combi-grav
+ Drop pod
10 tactical marines with melta and multi-melta
+ Drop pod
3 bikes with grav gun
3 bikes with melta and power fist

I will use either Imperial Fist or Ultramarines chapter tactics - any suggestions?

Last time I played my opponent he used them as Iron Hands and he used a formation that meant his guys could disembark from transports, shoot and then reembark. He used:

Chapter master with jump pack
5 man assault squad
3 x 5 man tactical squads with rhinos
5 man devastator squad with missile launchers and lascannons.

He may bring a slightly different army, but will probably be along those lines. Does my army look okay, or any suggestions?

Thanks

While grav guns are nice I don't particularly like using them unless the saves of what they are shooting at is a 2+. I would bring some melta instead so you can pop the rhinos plus with grav you have to roll 6's anyways the same roll a standard Bolter needs to glance rear armor on a rhino.

I was thinking the grav would be really good against his marines once the rhinos are dealt with, plus his devastators and assault marines.
