HQ: Kantor is good. His ability to give surrounding marines +1 attack can be great if used correctly. Scoring starnguard is ok but I think your sternguard will be at the top of the enemy target list anyway so they may not survive.

Elites: Good. A few more combi flamers/meltas are always useful if you have points left over at the end. I prefer the dread in the drop pod. Walking dreads need longer ranged weapons and therefore preds can offer more guns and bettter frontal AV for the same cost.

Troops: The squads are fine but I'm not keen on HK missiles or dozer blades. Those points soon mount up. A combimelta on the sarge may be a better alternative. Sniper scouts I would keep cheap maybe with cloacks but drop Telion.

Heavy: The Pred is too expensive and stands out as a target. Take one or even two with AC/2LC. It is the best bang for your buck.

All i can say is i'd personally drop the scouts and some of your vehicle wargear and get another pred with lascannons, and if you must demote some powerfists to powerweapons so you have a mixture of anti-tank and anti-infantry combat abilities so you can make use of initiative 4.
