Eidolon, the Contemptors (outflanking), rapiers, and Sun-killers are all really good choices, and you have a good amount of Line too 

 

Unfortunately the HQs wouldn't be able to join the Aquillae in Outflank Assault because they don't individually have the Outflank special rule. Same problem with the Warden joining the Tactical Marines.

 

Also, I think artificer armour is essential on Sergeants. It can greatly increase the survivability of their units.

 

Also, I think having the Librarian as the Warlord instead of Eidolon who is the Lord Command Primus of the Emperor's Children feels like a very un-fluffy choice. That would be like having Abaddon in a Sons of Horus army and making some random HQ the Warlord.

 

[Brother Kraskor]

God you're so right about the Warlord choice. Eidolon would never allow it!

 

That is a shame about the HQs being unable to join their own carefully planned manoeuvre. In that case, I think I'd Outflank the Assault Marines, one of the 10-man Tac squads, and the Contemptors. 

 

I hear what you say about Artificer armour. It is undeniably strong but feels gamey to me to have the Sgt throwing himself in front of enemy fire. I'll try without and see how I get on...!

I think the Artificer Armor is also there for protection vs. getting sniped out and better challenge survivability.
