So if you read my previous post you know where this is coming from. It's based on the experiences and new things I picked up over the weekend. I think I'm gonna walk thru my process with you guys. Here is where I'm starting from:
HQ
Grandmaster-205
Rad Grenades, Pyschotroke Grenades
Elite
5 Purifiers-186
3xHalberds, 2xPsycannons, Rhino

Troops
10 Striker-290
Hammer, Rhino, 2xPsycannons, Psybolts
10 Striker-290
Hammer, Rhino, 2xPsycannons, Psybolts
10 Striker-280
Rhino, 2xPsycannons, Psybolts
Fast Attack
Stormraven-205
Assault Cannon, Multi-Melta
Heavy Support
Dreadnought-135
2xTL-Autocannons, Psybolt
Dreadnought-135
2xTL-Autocannons, Psybolt
This totals: 1,912
So we have 88pts and our Stormraven currently only holds our dear friend the Grandmaster who needs some buddies to help him lay the smack down. So let's look at what we can bring for that price......some kind of inquisitor and that's pretty much it right? Right. So we have to look at what we would drop or what we want to run with the GM. There are a couple of options:
Let's try dropping a Rhino from the Purifiers, make them the friend of the GM, and add either an additional 4 Models w/Falcions and 10pts worth of Wargear to the GM or 5 Models w/4xHalberds. That would bring us to a solid 2k. Now while I like this I'm not totally sold on it....
So how about we remove a rhino from either the small Purifier squads (ehhhh...)or we can remove the rhino for the Strike Knights that don't have a hammer (better). That would leave us with 128pts which we could then spend on a Dreadnought w/Multi-Melta, Heavy Flamer, and DCCW to go in the Stormraven......Well damn, not sure a dread is a good idea in todays environment though, at least not an upclose and personal one.
Let's look at dropping a Purifier squad entirely giving us a total of 274pts. which we can turn into a Standard GKT squad w/Psycannon that leaves us at 49pts which could be used to flush out the remaining Purifier squad w/2 extra bodies w/Falcions.
Or finally I'm thinking remove the Rhino from the non-hammer strike squad. Make them the friends of the GKGM and then add take the 128pts and add 2 Falcion toting Purifiers to each Purifier squad which would leave us w/12pts. Use that 12pts. to upgrade the non-hammer Justicar to a hammer, add search lights to 2 Rhino's and we're done!

How married to the idea of the Storm Raven are you? You could do a lot with those points.
He's looking for a platform to assault with those tasty grenades the GM has. Its certainly the cheaper option over a Land Raider.
Since the GM can make at least one purifier scoring have you considered dropping the GKSS sans rhino and using those points to get a more dedicated assault unit to ride in the SR? Maybe regular terminators with banner or something?
Seems to me that is one of the advantages to taking the GM, not as neccesary to take more then 20 or so actual troops.
If you want funness, take an Inquisitor and a whole lot of death cult assassins in place of the third strike squad. Somewhere in the range of ordo maleus inquisitor with psyker upgrade, 6xDCA, 3xCrusader. Runs you 190.
