So to start i only have a Primaris chaplain on bike the rest of my models for space marines that I own are first borne and even that is kind of limited to boxnaughts, speeders, bikes, jump infantry, 3 rhinos, and a lot of tactical marines.
this is a 1k list for a local game store tournament doing tempest of war.

any suggestions on how to make the army more effective in strategies or switching out units would be appreciated.

I think given the constraints you're working under it looks really good. Maybe I'd ditch the missile launchers in your tactical squads and replace them with meltaguns if you can.

Best of luck to you.

Depending on how your models are assembled:

Drop the lighting claws on the tactical squads (ideally they will sit back on objs throwing out a missile every turn and not get into melee)
Make your VV all lighting claws / ss (maybe a fist on the sgt)
Add powerfists to your biker sergeants.

If you are juggling points around and can't fit it, make the tactical squad bare with just bolters.
