Need some advice on what models/ units to add to my SpaceMarine army , (Soul Drinkers i use Blood Angels codex for them)

currently i have a bunch of tactical troops (about 3 squads), about 20 assault troops (both normal and vanguard), a ten man sternguard unit, a landraider crusader, a rhino with razorback and whirlwind turrets, several librarians and chaplains along with some apothecaries for sanguinary priests....

my wife is interested in learning (starting out with little 500 pt games) BUT eventually she wants to play bigger games vs my DreadMob.
my Mob consists of a Meka Dread HQ, a MegaDread, 10 killa kans, 4 deffdreads, a a trukk with boyz and a 25 choppa ork unit with a Pain Boss

so with limited heavy options what do you think I should add to my Space marines to make them more of a challenge for a Mek-Dread Army

Thanks

Honestly just put melta bombs and guns on most squads and you are good to go lol.

terminators realy Fudge up dreadmobs. bikes may be a decent choice, but not in C:BA. also, why do you have a landraider crusader with no terminators. they are basicaly the only unit that can max out its trans cap (other that like ASM who suck anyway.)

You can't take mobs of more than 20 boys in a Dread Mob, unless you've allied them in from the standard codex?

Dread mob pretty much counters itself in my experience. Otherwise massed S7 or S8 shooting can easily deal with it.

Kudos on running one... you have much success with it? Been reluctant to add to my walker collection because they seem to suck so bad on the table

I do really well with in in fact, I added the extra boyz when short on match on points, totally forgetting the limit of 20 spanna boys, but so far i have won much more than lost,

In the fluff they make many references to the Soul Drinkers only having a "Few" terminator suits, but with the new certurians, (which have magically appeared in fluff) that can take LR as dedicated transport, thought that would be good, plus I thought the Armor 14 would be good till the Kans got to it in CC

no assault centurions in BA codex?

How would BA have a recently released unit that just came out last month?

3 devastator squads with 4 missile launchers each...
