Can obviously drop the Purifiers for a full Strike Squad if you think the troop section is a little squishy or drop them down to 6 and put them in a Razorback, however being able to shoot out of the Rhino hatches seems like a better alternative."
I don't like the Ven Dreads in Storm Ravens. It seems okay with the Dread being very durable in combat and having an MM but it's expensive and whilst durable in combat, isn't scary in combat with only 2A base. I'd just drop these completely and look to put the DCA in the Ravens or run them simply as gunboats. I'd lean towards the DCA as without the S8 AP1 missiles, the Raven is less useful as a Gunboat. Skip on the melta Acolytes though and just run DCA + some Crusaders if you'd like. With the rest of your points get more Purifiers. I'd prefer to see a double cannon, hammer, Psyback combination to put more targets on the table and draw fire from your AcoBacks.
If you're struggling for points there I'd drop the Xenos Inq. Giving Hammerhand + the grenade effects to the DCA is amazing but DCA are pretty jaw dropping normally and getting more units is important.
