An alternative variant I've created has some edits that get a few more squads into the fight sooner. Actually haven't play tested either as I'm waiting for my raven to come in the post and still need to finish assembly and paint on my assault termies.

If you're gonna run the Sternguard, more is always the answer. 5 special bolters is a bad joke vs anything, really........ If you want to take this to FoB, I would suggest a few things:

1. More Sternguard, no Tycho.

2. Take out the DA. Useless allies that don't add anything to the force other than a 2 LS Typhoons, which die to a stiff breeze.

The Devs are..... Subpar. If you take weapons at all, take something other than ML. In 5th, they were king. Now... too mediocre.

The Baals stick out as prime targets. If you're gonna have Baals, you might as well go hybrid mech.

Sticking to a similar theme to your list, heres a thought:

Spoiler:

Again, these are just my opinions, so YMMV.

Hope this helps!

I feel like the DA allies being described as useless is a bit harsh since the cheaper units allow me to purchase more upgrades on BA units without losing shots/units to draw fire away from the others. The cheap libby and prescience itself is worth it but pair it with the whirly (which doesn't need to be 'fast') and sniper scouts (which don't need the red thirst) and I'm saving 35pts on the Libby, 20 pts on the scouts, and 25 on the whirlwind. In regards to the speeders I'd be saving 30. While they are pretty soft targets, I like their mobility and their ability to support through anti-troop (frag/HB) or anti-armor (krak). If they happen to be around the libby, yet again, they're another option for prescience.
