I see a devastating lack of powerfists on your sargeants.

And scouts aren't really worth it.

Also, while it may be a decent idea in July come 5th edition, your current loadout with flamers and missile launchers and frags doesn't really work out well.

The missile launcher needs to stay immobile to fire.
The flamer wants to get close.
Frags are for actively charging enemies in cover.

In the future you might be able to break each squad into two, one with the missile launcher that stays put and the other five with the flamer and perhaps a powerfist that moves aggressively forward.

I also know you don't have a space marine codex yet, but you may want to look into the traits system where you could have two plasma guns or two flamers instead of 1 heavy and 1 special weapon.

Traditionally most competitive marine armies min/max, which is to say they take as many 6 man lascannon/plasma gun squads as possible with a few tanks and such. See Steve for his current ultramarines list, however in future editions GW seems to be disallowing such squads.

Your Chaplain needs a bolt pistol and frag grenades.

I agree with JMarv about most of his comments. I do think that the missile launcher is a good fit into a Tactical squad. Just remember its a back up weapon not a primary there goal will be to engage the enemy close. But sometimes Eldar or Tau skimmers will out pace out so its good to be prepared, they are only 10 pts a piece. Plus if you face a horde list you can stand and shoot for the first turn or two before you move out to charge.

The one thing that jumps out at me is having krak grenades and meltabombs on your assault marines. You only need one or the other because they are both tank-hunting weapons, but the meltabombs are better (and therefore, more expensive).

And generally no infantry squads get krak grenades b/c they rely on anti-tank support for taking out vehicles.
