I would recommend getting either a tac squad or scout squad to hold any objectives that are in or close to your deployment. Using an assault squad to hold an objective that far from the action will make them useless.

I'd agree that a tac or scout squad would be a big help but I don't know where I'm going to get the points. The list above actually has 90 spare points so I could get 5+ scouts with sniper rifles but I really wanted to use those point for a whirlwind. The benefits of fragile scoring campers vs pie plates that will kill fragile scoring campers. I just don't know.

you could drop a land speeder and/or a guy or two from the DC to give you the points you need to buff the scout squad.
