Captain (terminator armour)
Chaplain
Command Squad (3x gravgun, banner of the emperor ascendant, apothecary) + drop pod
Venerable dreadnought (plasmacannon) + drop pod
Venerable dreadnought (twin-lascannon) + drop pod
Venerable dreadnought (assaultcannon) + drop pod
Sternguard (powersword, meltagun, plasmagun, 2x combiplasma, 2x combimelta, 2x combiflamer) + drop pod
Sternguard (powerfist, meltagun, plasmagun, 2x combiplasma, 2x combimelta, 2x combiflamer) + drop pod
Vanguard (relicblade, 4x pair of lightning claws, 4x storm shield, 4x thunderhammer, meltabomb)
Vanguard (relicblade, 4x pair of lightning claws, 4x storm shield, 4x thunderhammer, meltabomb)
Terminator squad (2x assaultcannon, 2x chainfist)
Terminator squad (cyclone, heavyflamer, 2x chainfist)
Terminator squad (cyclone, heavyflamer, 2x chainfist)
Terminator assault squad (5x thunderhammer, 5x stormshield)
Terminator assault squad (5x thunderhammer, 5x storm shield)
Terminator assault squad (5x thunderhammer, 5x stormshield)

Don't forget some Land Raiders, honestly just take several instances of Strike Force Ultra and 1st Company Task Force.

But these have benefits for addittional Orbital strike.

Hey, it looks like you're trying to make your squads jack-of-all-trades which offers flexibility but honestly think you're better off giving them specific roles.
Example: Give one of your Sternguard squads all the combi-melta's with the power fist sergeant and make them tank-hunters.
Then put all the flamers and plasma in one squad and make them infantry/heavy infantry hunters, will be more effective and ensures your one-shot combi-weapon is best utilised.
Same for your Terminators, give one squad the two Cyclones and the other two heavy flamers etc.
Personally, not a fan of twin-las on dreads, would rather give them the plasma cannon or assault cannon. Anything that's too strong to survive your shooting can assault with power fist.
Other than that it looks pretty good, should be deadly against anything in Apocalypse.
