Is this a competitive list? I'm planning to use the aggressors with corbulo and the ancient to get rid of hordes or just deal a lot of wounds while the other units deep strike later to deal with units that are tougher.

No, its not a competitive list. First BA arent competitive, no matter what you use, with only a few exceptions, like captn slamguinius, libby dread, mephiston. Second, you have terminators, they suck. DC hits hard, when they make the charge, but then die pretty fast. How do plan to take out a gunline ? You have very little anti tank.

Do you think this list could still win some battles? I'm not really looking to win tournaments I mainly want to have an army that has a chance against some other armies.
Also, what's wrong with terminators? Are they too slow? I thought that with the hammers and the storm shields they're pretty strong and can survive pretty well.
What would you suggest for a BA army that could be decent?

Ok, you deepstrike your termis. Now you charge, you need to roll a 9. You chance of doing so is only 28%. You can re-roll one dice, but you can still fail. If your fail your 205 pts. termis stand there, doing nothing. Your opponent can now decide to ignore them, and simply move away, or shoot them. Your termis only have 5" movement, its not hard for the opponent to stay away from them. You can advance, but then you cant charge. You can teleport them back home to your deployment zone, and then they sit there, again doing nothing. Melee termis are the worst, shooting termis can at least shoot when they fail their charge. Your opponent could also decide to send a screen unit like cultists, poxwalkers, horrors towards them, and they are stuck in melee fighting a cheap horde unit, which is not what they are supposed to do.

Now, to improve your list i would remove the sanguinor, bro corbulo, the termis, drop DC down to 10 (15 are vulnerable to morale losses) with some PFs, add mephiston and/or a libby dread, and one or two dev squads with cherubs. Some razorbacks with twin AC and/or LC are ok as well. If you really want to play a termi like CC unit you should use SG with a sang ancient as your warlord with standard of sacrifice. SG are better termis, they have the same stats, are cheaper (with PFs), and have JPs as well. The sang ancient buffs them, and gives them 5+++ with the standard of sacrifice. Vets (company or vanguard) with JPs and plasma weapons, accompanied by the captain for safely overcharging are ok as well.

I think this is a decent list : https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/769587.page

Thanks for the tips! Do you think the aggressors or worth the points or should I reduce/remove them for other troops like tactical squads or intercessors? Also, are stormravens worth the point costs? They seem like they can deal a lot of damage but I'm not sure if they're worth it.

Aggressors can be decent but you don't necessarily need that many. Stormravens can be good but can be blown off the table quite easily, they may make a good transport for you DC though.
