You might want a second squad to bulk out your troops... It's always good to have more bodies for the enemy to shoot at .

Yes, troops are the way to go. Preferable Tactical squads.

Troops form the backbone of your army. Also, when playing a standard game you need a minimum of 1 HQ and 2 Troops choices. It's different with Combat patrol where you only must take one troop choice.

Do you have the rulebook and Codex Space Marines?

Do you really need a second HQ? I think the commander is enough:in my 2500 pt total(approximately- never actually counted them) I have 3 and barely ever use more than 1 per battle. Also, assault squad is good,might want to convert a big Jetpack on to the commander and put him with them. You definitely need more troops, and once you play a few games to decide what you like, maybe something to support that theme. If you do big, menacing assault I recommend a dread.
