Been reading countless lists and battle reports - this is my best effort:

HQ
Librarian, psyker, bike
(110 points)
Fast attack
5 bikers x2 Grav Guns
(115 points)

Troops
10 Tacs, Meltagun, Combi Melta, MBomb, Drop pod
10 Tacs, Meltagun, Combi Melta, MBomb, Drop pod
(400 points)

Heavy
5 Devastators, LCannonx2, MLx1
(125 points)

Which I think is exactly 750....Not sure on Drop pods over rhinos and Grav Guns over MGuns....
Any thoughts?

Melta guns are fine, get a drop pod for your devastator squad and then don't start them in it turn one so you can get both your melta Tac squads in on turn one via the Drop Pod Assault special rule. Your bikes are incorrectly costed. It is 63 points for a 5 man squad, 21 points per bike added, plus 30 points for both Grav guns. So I suggest cutting the bike squad altogether and maybe getting another lascannon for your dev squad along with a drop pod and maybe cut the librarian for a better HQ choice like a chapter master on a bike?

No, it is 115 --> Sadly 63 points only gets 3 bikes - 63+21+21+30 = 115.....so no maths failure this time

To get that 3rd pod. I could drop the Librarians's bike , drop 1 marine and switch the Grav Guns to Meltaguns - saving 44 points.
Then:
1) Run the Lvl 2 Librarian with the now 9 marines
2) Give the 5 bikers a MBomb to go with their MGuns
3) Give the Devastators a DPod

=746 points - Meltagun/Drop pod army!
