Nice Report. I enjoyed reading it.
But I think I spotted two mistakes that might have helped you. First, I think combat Squadding the marines does not work out of a Rhino. The sternguard come to mind. I think they should have combat squadded at setup and only one combat squad could have used the Rhino. But I am not 100% on that.
But one where I am more confident is that if you use an Autarch then your spiders could have arrived one turn earlier because he can add +1 to the reserve roll. If I remember correctly he can do it even if he is not on the field. I think it was clarified in a FAQ.
Hope that helps. Keep the reports coming.
Yer, we weren't sure about the combat squadding ability, if any one can shine light with a reference on that it would be appreciated.
On the autarch i was using his ability, and he still refused to come out and play (i rolled alot of 1's for reserve roll).
It should be in the Codex. Right under the special rule: Combat Squads. Failing that, the relavent FAQ.
As for feedback on your list, in the edition where tanks are amazing, you have almost no anti-tank. You list would be fine for theme games, or for 4th edition rules. Against some random list that the other person can cook up, you will probably be facing lots of tanks.
