Space Marines vs Imperial Guard

Im playing an 1800 point game this evening at York Garrison against Imperial Guard. Ive only played one game against IG so far and it actually went surprisingly well, I lost of course but if the game had gone to one more turn then Im pretty confident I would have won due to one objective in my territory being contested a single guardsman who was up against a ten man squad of tactical marines. I also had two terminators and a librarian in terminator armour who were about to capture the other objective but were just an inch out of range of contesting it as the game ended.

My previous game against IG was apparently slightly unusual in that the opposition fielded no tanks at all, just massed ranks of infantry, but Im expecting several tonight so I decided to go with a melta and flamer heavy armour and Vulkan as an HQ to make the most of these. It will be the first time that Ive fielded Vulkan and also the first time that I will have used a bike squad as well so Im quite curious to see how these will perform.
