Librarium Online - View Single Post - 700+ points, Raven Guard

After collecting random figures from all sources, I have finally decided upon creating an actual army. I enjoy the sci-fi look of the Space Marines, but I also like the idea of wading into battle as though I was a Khorne army. I think the helmet-less Space Wolves look somewhat silly, so I finally decided upon a Raven Guard army with a swarm of Assault Marines

I have several questions specifically, although any input in general would be very very welcome.

First: I don't really know what to use for my HQ, but would the Veil of Time be useful?
Second: I don't really know what to do with the troops, since I can't put Assault Marines there, but I suppose the Scouts can fill some sort of role.
Third: If I keep the Scouts, should I give Terminator Honours to the Seargant? If so, what weaponry and equipment?
Fourth: I believe I can basically add assault squads to this setup up into the 1100+ range, after which, if I still feel like expanding, I can take Shrike and his posse. What are your thoughts on them?

HQ:
Librarian Codicier with Veil of Time
110 points

TROOPS:
5 Scouts armed with Frags. Seargant with Terminator Honours, Power fist/weapon
93 points

5 Scouts armed with Frags. Seargant with Terminator Honours, Power fist/weapon
93 points

FAST ATTACK and/or ELITES:
5 Assault marines with Melta-bombs and "Furious Charge"
135 points
(take multiples of the above squad until I have enough points filled out)
