Playing a game this weekend against Tau, Necrons and Marines (Purge the Alien) and I have a 1999+1 C:SM list I'd like critiqued please!
Are there any adjustments I could make (I have many more models, but I do not have another TFC, nor do I have any air) to make this a more potent, all comer list that stands a chance of surviving?

HQ:
Pedro Kantor
Librarian (null zone, GoI, storm bolter, Terminator Armour)

Honour Guard Squad (Champion, 2 honour guard)
+ Drop Pod (Kantor goes here)

ELITE :
Dreadnought (AC, CCW/SB) + Drop Pod
Dreadnought (AC, CCW/HF) + Drop Pod
Sternguard Veteran Squad (10 marines) + Drop Pod

TROOPS :
Scout Squad (4 x sniper rifle, Sgt Sniper/Bolt Pistol)
Tactical Squad (HB, Flamer, Bolt Pistol/Chainsword Sgt) + Drop Pod
Tactical Squad (HB, Flamer, Bolt Pistol/Chainsword Sgt) + Drop Pod

FAST :
Land Speeder (HF/HF)
Land Speeder (HF/HF)
Bike Squad (4 Bikes, 2 Melta, Sgt bike w/ Bolt Pistol, Attack Bike w/ MM)

HEAVY SUPPORT :
Thunderfire Cannon + Drop Pod

The Tac/Tac/TFC Drop Pods are to be empty, just to get the other 4 on the table turn one.
I don't expect to see much (if ANY) air other than perhaps a single Doomscythe, so AA is not an issue.
My main tactic would be to drop, in force, in the enemies face and take out any larger threats ASAP (using the pods as a shield and to cut off their forces) and position for a T2 assault if possible. T2 (and on) drop the other pods as interferance, assault with the units in their zone while taking shots at whatever possible with the 2 tacs, scouts and TFC.
The Speeders and Bikes are for fast reaction against threats outside of the main drop force and/or hordes.

POTENTIALLY we may up the game to 2500 points, in which case I would add;

+1 Vindicator
+1 Honour Guard
+ Scout Camo Cloaks
+ Grey Knight Allies :
Librarian (MC Halberd, Smite, Summoning, Vortex of Doom)
Strike Squad (2x Halberd, 2x Sword, Daemonhammer Justicar) + Razorback (Psybolt, TL HB, Warp Stabilisation Field)

Keep the TFC outta the pod, that way it can fire all game.
However, keep the pod to keep your numbers right.

Drop the honor guard....seriously, they will hamstring you points wise, they are a cool idea, but not worth it. Put Pedro with the SG

Then I'd add that Vindicator using the points from the dropped honor guard.

I did mention the TFC (and the tacs) are not in the pods, so that's already done.

The Honour Guard .. they're there for a little fun. I just love the models. I could certainly drop them to add more punch, but I wouldn't mind giving them a shot (Rather than them sitting on the shelf collecting dust forever). Will consider it though .. I have a couple days to tweak things.

Sorry, must have missed it.
Other than that, i might consider putting multi-meltas rather than assault cannons to pop armor and let your land speeders fry the contents
