The plan is to have the Librarian and Pedro join the flamer Sternguard and have 3 Sternguard units drop first turn. I'm not sure whether to arm Librarian with a Force Axe or a Force Sword.

Any thoughts and improvements welcome.

I have a pair of suggestions:
-change one combi melta squad for a combi grav-combi plasma squad to have more flexibility
-drop the extra Marines in the tactic al squad, you could invest 210 points in something more valuable, for example a storm raven to have the formation with the talons, a full grav devastator squad or an ironclad Dreadnought in a pod (you lack of cc units)

It's a good list, turn one assault with the veterans and turn two take control of the objectives with tactical squad

Is the lack of cc units an issue? I was under the impression that with Space Marines it was better to just shoot your opponent and avoid combat, especially when using the Imperial Fist Chapter Tactics.
