    Drop the teleport homer. If you deepstrike, which generally you shouldn't, just deepstrike far enough away that you won't scatter off the table or onto the enemy. It's not like you need to land close, you've got the range, and it's not like the Scouts can infiltrate right next to your opponent then survive for 2-4 turns in order to have a teleport homer in place for your Terminators to accurately deepstrike there anyways.

    You can also trim down the Scout squads. They don't contribute much beyond being a relatively cheap scoring unit, and whether it's 5 or 8, if your opponent seriously tries to kill them they're dead. Scouts aren't cheap enough to warrant larger squads.

    That saves you like 80pts right there. I would then drop the Razorback in favor of a Drop Pod, and then upgrade the command squad to a unit of Sternguard. Sternguard with Lysander are absolutely brutal. Depending on the game, either put Lysander with the Sternguard, or with the Terminators. But, like I said, deepstriking Terminators is usually not a particularly good idea, so mostly put Lysander with the Sternguard.

    Not the most original content but Darklink has it down pat:
    Scouts at 5 strong with no homer.

    5 scouts with camo & hb will probably be 78pts in the new codex, 85 with a ml and add another 10 for a veteran serg if you want.

    Multi-melta & flamer tacticals will be 155 (165 with veteran), the plasma squad will be 170 (180).

    All of which gives you a saving of 160 points just from your troops section. Drop the 6th termie and you have 200 pts free.

    Razorback is the only dangerous armour you have (bar stormtalon) so will be hard to keep alive. Drop podding sternguard (ala Darklink) are nasty nasty nasty fun to use.
    Consider replacing the skyhammers with either typhoon or las. I've found them underwhelming.

    Sternguard are supposed to get cheaper, too. 22pts each, I think?
