Marine - Defender Siege List
Core
- Tacticals + Transports (able to swap the transports out for Land Raiders, Preds or Vindactors)
- Devs + Transports (able to swap the transports out for Land Raiders, Preds or Vindactors)
- Trenchworks
- Vidicators - formation of 4-6
- Whirlwinds - formation of 4-6
- Dreadnought formations - 4 - 6
Foot Assault Marines + Transports are an obvious point for inclusion. Great for charging those breaches!

Restricted Formations
- Terminators
- Assault Marines (?)
I'd stick Land Speeders in here - they make some sense, but they shouldn't be common as dirt, either.

Upgrades
- Dreads (Siege or Normal)
- Land Raiders - only taken as replacements for transports
- Predators - only taken as replacements for transports
- Vindicators - only taken as replacements for transports
- Thunderfire Cannons - add to the formation (probably 1-2)
- Characters
- Hunters (1-2)
I'd keep the Vindicators as a separate upgrade - formations with attached Vindicators and transports make sense for assaulting breaches and that sort of thing.
I'd also recommend adding a Whirlwind upgrade. That way the Vindicator, Whirlwind and Dread formations can just use the vehicle upgrade to increase their size.
Oh, one more point - if you make it so Land Raiders can only replace transports, people are likely going to completely avoid the standard LR in favor of the LRC.

Allies
I like the idea of just having Imperial Bombers, a Reaver and a Warlord as the accessible options. Otherwise standard options available to Marines.
I'd recommend the Bombing variant of the Thunderhawk, as well.
