With death company you have to be careful how to deploy them since they are expensive, can't assault the turn they deepstrike, and you don't want them shot to death before they get to assault.
One of the best ways to deploy them is in a stormraven. It has 12 model capacity so you can put 6 DC or 5 DC and a jump character (probobly a chaplain since they already have FNP, although a sanguinary priest does give them +1 initiative which could be very useful)
Tool them out 1 with a thunderhammer (for AP2 and concussive so if you charge a monstrous creature and it lives it will attack last next round of combat). And maybe 2 powerweapons in case you charge some armor 3/2 guys (swords if fighting a lot of armor 3, axes if fighting armor 2).
Careful with power fists and axes though since you lose the +1 init advantage and attack last which can be bad.
Only kit out half the DC with special weapons, the rest just use chainswords you don't want to make the unit too expensive.
If the DC don't have jump packs, put them in a razorback, rhino or landraider.

Apply the fist couple wounds to the DC with the chainswords, and when moving around the field have them out front as body guards for the ones with special weapons.
