It's a variant on my undefeated 500-point Battleforce-based list. Even the Tau can't out-shoot this one, and even the Dark Eldar can't get close enough to maul 'em in melee.
Give 'em a Russ, an ADL and a couple commissars...

Only thing I'm missing from that list is one auto cannon

Why have a standard in the command squad?

The reason why you want the Command Squad (and the standard) is so that you can have an orders base for your infantry platoons, as well as a huge morale buff.
The problem with the Lord Commissar is that he's one model (probably with a power fist, judging by what you can get him for the cost of the command squad) that doesn't do much other than let nearby squads use his leadership. Since half of the list effectively has Ld 9 thanks to the commissars, this isn't something you need, especially when it's orders that makes this list work.

Tactic wise, just keep em all in one group with command squads spread out evenly to just mow down the enemy?

Might want to have one of your Platoon Commanders manning the Icarus Lascannon, but yeah, that's pretty much it.
