Looks like fun, I notice you have 7 Troops...just sayin. Not having a LAN is a downer, but Space Marines are pretty strong vs LAN, so the drop off should be manageable. If you can get the Toxi into contact, it should do terrible things to your foe.

As PInecone77 said, 1 too many troops. I would merge the Rippers personally, but you could also merge the Hormie's for a massive Congo Line back to shrouding.

Almost though that was my list at a glance. I run very similiar ones for tournements. It will have a few really bad match ups, DE used to be really bad. Not played the against the new ones yet. Tau are surprisingly not as rough as you might expect.

Hm you guys are correct.... I will just put the hormies together thanks guys!
