The Shadowsword will be the anvil to the jump squads hammer, with the scouts either surrounding the tank if the enemy has a lot of deep striking units, or being the front line and supporting the assault with their firepower. Lemartes will go with the DC and strike the front lines. The Ancient go with the Sanguinary Guard and drop behind cover the first turn closest to the elite units, shoot their overcharged plasma's, and then assault in the second turn (to make sure the Ancient is in range for the assault). Mephiston will fly over as far as he can and try to support the SG if he can reach them. My question is where should the Librarian go, should he support the SG in case Mephiston doesn't get to them in the first turn, or support the DC and give them a little more survivability and hitting power?

Looks quite good.
I'd let the Librarian join the DC and let the DC charge while keeping him out of cc.
Shield and smite could be useful here.

I would have one scout cc squad instead of HB/bolters, just in case

If you give the shadowsword the tallarn regiment you can deepstrike it with the ambush stratagem.

Ha, that's awesome! Now all I can imagine is a big ass Shadowsword dropping from the sky A-Team style, that would be hilarious!
