Using Chapter Tactics (Raptors) from Forgeworld. I'm not relying on Rending Boltguns they are just nice to have so if I have to use Ravenguard it's not a big deal as I've been running this list as Ravenguard up till now anyway.

Alpha strike with combi-grav sternguard against the nastiest mc or 2+ save infantry I can find. Devastators tank hunt and hopefully finish off any wraith knights or rip tides the sternguard squad with combi-gravs don't kill off on turn one.

Heavy flamer sternguard outflank. Tactical squad combat squad move to hold mid-field objectives while the scouts combat squad with the sarge in the storm and the missile launcher on a backfield objective bolstered by the tech marine. Scouts in the storm are there to grab an enemy dz objective and line breaker as well as burn the combi-plas on turn one rapid fire.

Librarian rolls on biomancy and telepathy. If he gets the power that grants relentless then he bundles into the razorback with the combi-grav sternguard so they get maximum shots on turn one when they disembark.

Tech marine hangs with the backfield scouts/Devastators to tank hits from helldrakes.

Stalker and storm talon give me redundancy in aa with some back up with flakk missiles. Should have enough to ground mc and drop a helldrake a turn.

Should any riptides or mc survive the sternguard they will be initiative one which will make the blind test from the storms Cerberus launchers a pain to pass even for eldar.
