Dkok battalion
1 marshalls
3 x 10 stormtroop grenaders with all hotshotlasguns
2 attached (obviously not dkok) manticores with full payloads.
This gives you a major infantry upgrade from something like cadian -- at a slight cost in firepower.

Ravengaurds.
phobos librarian (his role is to put the judiciar wherever he needs to be to make someone swing last. Also, I belive there is a way to make him give all these guys 5++ shields if he is with them, not too shabby.
judiciar
bladegaurd squad of 3
bladegaurd squad of 3
squad of six eradicators (1 has a multimelta)
squad of 3 eliminators (sniper rifles all)
725
(lambdas lions)
2 tempest prime with command rods (one has my usual combination of the refractory shield and reroll 1's)
1x10 plasma drop scions
2x 10 hsvg drop scions
command squad with 4 plasma
command squad with 4 plasma
cheapest valkyrie ever (110 points .. hellstrike missles, multlaser, and cargo capacity)

25 points remain .. to pass out 5 powerswords to the dkok and the 2 plasma drop scions

so, basically, you got the backfield (a few dkok to flank the manticores), the midfield (all the mariners from deepstrike, deployment shenanigans, or such), and the scions (definitely drop) for the enemy's backdoor.

Melee is meh, perhaps, by most people's standards but its awesome by gaurd's standards. Manticore + plasmas + eradicators try to unmake enemy armor.

potentially gives up 5 on assassinate,
12 on thin ranks
no witches.
and only 9 if they vehicle hunt.

Feedback appreciated. I don't soup list often so I am in a bit of a "meh, may work?" I know a few decent ravengaurd tricks (like putting the 6 eradicators into 2 squads at start so one can field and one can deepstrike deploy, then master of ambushing the one into position to alpha strike, while the other is in reserve to counterstrike. Eliminators hold a spot for ambush troops to step into. Manticores do what manticores .. do. The storm grenadiers are a not terrible backfield objective sitter and can move up movmovmov style as well. The lambda lions I am very comfortable using --maybe should however not stint so much on the valkyrie weapons.

Plasma may not be as good this addition due to damage reducing abilities and the SM wound buff. (Terminators have 3w now for example)

If they are mostly going after vehicles and are mobile, maybe melta is the way to go?
