Looking to get a new 6th edition codex marine list together to play against my regular Tau and Necron foes using what I've got for the most part and I'd like some advice on what could be tweaked!

Total points : 2497

Chapter Tactics : Ultramarines

HQ :

Marneus Calgar (armour of antilochus)
- Honour Guard Squad (3 guard, Chapter Champion, Drop Pod)
Tigurius

Troops :

Scout Squad (Camo Cloaks, Sgt Telion, 5 scouts w/sniper, 1 w/ HB)
Tac Squad (10 marines, plasma cannon, plasma gun, combi-plas, drop pod)
Tac Squad (10 marines, plasma cannon, plasma gun, combi-plas, razorback w/ Las/TL Plasma)

Elite :

Sternguard squad (10 marines, drop pod)
Sternguard squad (10 marines, drop pod)
Ironclad Dreadnought (Hurricane bolter, Seismic Hammer/Heavy Flamer, Drop Pod)

Fast :

Bike Squad (5 bikes, 2 melta, MM attack bike)
Landspeeder squad (2 speeders, HB/Typhoon)

Heavy :

TFC
Dev squad (4 x ML (no flakk))

- Tigurius goes with the honour guard and drops in with the 2 sternguard squads T1 OR I drop the ironclad instead of a sternguard squad (let them come in later to mop up with the tac squad)
- Marneus likely goes with the dev squad, or if I'm feeling particularly cheeky he drops in with the Honour Guard + Tigurius.
- TFC and scouts sit back in some fortified ruins
- The remaining tacs and bikes use cover to move forward as much as possible to try for objectives and/or any weak targets
- Landspeeders sit back an fire away with the Tyhpoons and HB's.

Suggestions?
