Hey guys so for my Astral Drakes I am not sure what to buy next here is what I have so far
Captain Danial (has artificer armour thunder hammer SS)
Captain Lysander (brought his model last year never really used him)
Librarian in termie armour with Force Axe Storm Shield
10 Tactical Terminators with 2 assault cannons
Dreadnought with DCCW and Multi Melta
30 Tactical Marines(10 from DV set)
3 Space Marine Bikers (from DV set)
5 Devastators
AoBR Space Marine Captain
DV Captain
DV Libby

Fluffwise my chapters geneseed is a mix of Imperial Fist and Iron Hand Geneseed. So what should I buy next I have 5 things which I am considering
Some Assault Terminators
Stern Guard veterans
Another Tactical Squad or 2
Maybe a Tech Marine?
Or more bikers or assault marines
Or the 6th option is say 2 thunderfire cannons

Any help which you guys can give would be greatly appriciated

Termis or more Devastators

Any reason for those 2 in particular?

When in doubt, buy a Reaver titan.

Unfourtunately reaver titan is out of my budget range :(

Sternguard and/or drop pods. It looks like this is a foot-slogging army, which has no way to get at the back lines of the enemy force.
Scouts solve that though. Get another squad of them.

If you get assault marines, think about getting a jump pack for your librarian. I just did that, but I've not used them yet so don't know how they work out.

I'd avoid the techmarine, as you have nothing he can fix. He can fix Dread, but it wants to get in close and has no way to get there.

Hmmm I can see the point. I may actually consider a unit or 2 of ten scouts should I give both units siper rifles and camo cloaks or only make one unit sniper scouts and the other unit normal scouts

Get the thunderfires... gets you some awesome hoard control plus 2 techmarines... at that point I would consider some scouts with sniper rifles to make use of the bolstered defenses.

Agreed - something to get at the enemy lines with. Terminators can teleport in but they're left without support there if you have nothing else to send in. A used Rhino or two for Tactical Squads wouldn't be bad, IMO - they'll be able to move up the board for a turn or two before digging in.

Im going to agree to the notion of picking up some scout snipers, or as i call them goodbye overpriced demon prince. Imo a good uni especially if you have some ruins on the board.

Terminators are just good for a heavy shock unit, comes down in a drop pod and tears apart whatever it wants or it makes for a great distraction unit. Soaking up fire and brushing it off while the rest of your army moves up.

Devastators, because you only have five and personally I like to field two units of them when I can.

2 lonely warriors trapped on a remote planet for a week before being rescued?

As long as the apothacary doesn't get them mixed up, it shouldn't matter. 2 sets of seed, and building up the Marine around one or the other.
Is there likely to be much difference, anyway?
It's not like mixing up Space Wolf and Blood Angel geneseeds.

I lol'd, too
