yum!

... this is cool, though I wonder how it would handle hordes?

With great difficulty. The tornado, stormtalon and maybe the two outflanking tactical marines with plasma cannon might help a tiny bit. The plasma cannons can't be shot on the turn they arrive/ if they move at all :s

You could take out 5 grav pistols, use the points to get a second land speeder tornado with 2 heavy bolters (but it'll be squadroned), and have enough points left over to slap 2 flamers on the big assault squad and a third in one of the vanguard squads. I'd run them as 2 squads with grav and one squad boltpistols and flamer.
