Just a list for casual games with a group of mates. Would like it to become a competitive list if it goes well so your opinions and comments are appreciated!

HQ

Interrogator Chaplain

Troops

3x Tac squads of 8 marines inc. seargent with chainsword and bolt pistol. Plasma gun in each and dedicated rhino

Fast attack

2x assault squad of 5 marines in each inc seargent with chainsword and bolt pistol

Darkshroud

heavy support

Sicaran battle tank

Detachments

Deathwing redemption force, 2 squads of 5 termis with a assault cannon each and a libby in terminator armour, lvl 2 upgrade

ravenwing attack squadron, land speeder with assault cannon, 5 ravenwing bikers with a grav gun

One devastator squad would give you a demi-company in Lion's Blade, so consider that. Hint: two grav cannons riding around in Rhino.

Do your assault squads have jump packs? Drop pods are usually better, but don't sweat that if they're already modeled.

Any HQ you can mount on a bike is a much better HQ.

And everyone else will tell you that terminators are the worst and Black Knights are the best units in our codex.

Switching to a Lions Blade would lose you access to the Sicarian and the Darkshroud, so unless you want to radically alter the list I'd stick with what you have for a few games first - the Lion's Blade would give you bonuses (more ob.sec. and better overwatch) at the expense of variety.

So advice on what you currently have - if you want to up the firepower of the tactical squads, consider a combi-weapon on the sargeant.
The assault squads need a way to get about, either a dedicated transport or jump packs.
The Int Chappy needs to go with someone, so either with an assault squad (giving him a jump pack if they have them) or with the ravenwing (by adding a bike to him). Either way we need to free up some points, probably by dropping one or more tactical marines, or the entirety or one of the assault squads.
The Darkshroud looks slightly out of place considering there's not much ravenwing, but remember the stealth effect works on any of your units, and combines with the smoke launchers on your rhinos.
