Couple of options that tempt me from here... I could ditch the Talon, drop 1 squad of Sentinels and bump one Vulture to the Allied detachment and use the 150ish points to grab a fairly barebones Infantry Platoon/Pair of Vet Squads/Pair of Wyverns/Hades Breaching Team and have change for a couple of small upgrades.

Switching out the Punishers on one Vulture for quad rocket pods is also an option just for giggles... But not sure if the cost to anti-air ability is worth it and with the plasma Sentinels I doubt anybody will bunch up that much to make the 4 5" blasts pay off over the Punishers.

The 2 Vanquishers are pricey (Understatement, damn you Armoured Company prices!) but worth it for their "Go away Monstrous Creature" ability. I could down grade the Meltas to Heavy Bolter sponsons but to save 20pts across the pair doesn't seem worth it.

Finally I could save 25pts by dropping 1 Psyker and upgrading the other to Lvl 2. Would give me more or less the same output but at the cost of "all eggs in 1 basket" and a loss of flexibility.
