To get the points, drop the plasma pistols from the rune priests, you are fine with bolt pistols for your extra attack in CC. The plasma pistol range may only come up 1-2 times a game, and you run the risk of wounding a priest.

I would also put combi grav's on the bike sarges, same logic as the plasma pistols. It would net you points for a chooser of the slain, and maybe a wolf standard for the hunters. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591053/6747719.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591053/6747719.page GMT
I would say drop the stern guard for some more 5 man scoring bike units.

Also give the grey hunters melta guns. On first turn it will let you drop down and try to kill some vehicle and help get that first blood. The grav guns really kill anything that the plasma are good against and the melta makes it a lot more versatile.

Last thing, make sure your rune priests have different wargear!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591053/6754690.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/591053/6754690.page GMT SM
HQ:
A) Chapter Master; Kor'sarro Khan on MoonDrakken (scratch build him) (+100)
B) Chaplain on Bike for second squad of bikes (+?)
.
Elite:
Sternguard (SG); Drop Sgt Powerfist (+25), divided into two 5 man squads in Drop Pod (DP) (-35) (-10)

Troops:
A) B) 2x full bike squads instead of 3x under strength ones. (-?) drop Sgt GP
.
Fast Attack; does the stormtalon escort outflanking bikes? if yes, then 2x stormtalon A) B) (+125) if no, drop stormtalon
.
Allies SW
HQ;
A) RP drop the PP (-15)
B) RP drop the PP (-15)
.
Troops;
1x five man Blood Claw Pack (BC) for point shaving w/plasma gun no drop pod 85 (-80) they can hold the objective in you deployment zone, and possibly keep you from getting tabled, if you want both Sternguard units to show up turn 1, then add the drop pod for an uneven number, so two DP will show up turn one, and the third will show up later.
.
This creates two deathstars A) and B), and the ability to be more versatile as to what units start on the table turn 1.
.
The reason I personally am opposed to Sgt pistol and other costly upgrades (cost one SM each), is because I see them get picked off in a unit constantly in 6e, because of precise shot, and removing models from the closest.
.
Looks fun!
