Trying to find space in cases to put WoC in now and thought of attempting to condense the DA models I have. When that thought came it was immediately followed by "I can't remember the last time I played them". Having a hatred of special characters being used and liking sticking down a well painted chaplain or captain with the Ezekiel model as a librarian is a special characterless DA viable with their errata update?
To be fair the DA codex Deathwing/Ravenwing characters aren't amazingly overpowered so terminator captain wouldn't be too much against my grain (as thats what it amounts to).

Deathwing is viable if you don't object to Belial, as is any DA army that uses a fair amount of Deathwing in the mix.

For smaller games DA's tactical squads with 2 weapons are viable core to an army.

Actually I think tactical squads are where you are let down. They cost a bomb and they will be your only scoring units.

However they is a really obvious solution - Razorback spam.

5 men melta, melta bombs, twin lascannonback for 185 pts. They have 4 bolters which is better than the BA option and have Ld 9 which is better than space wolves.

This gives good long range antitank that is otherwise lacking.

Then let's say three typhoons for long range antiinfantry 75 pts each, I am afraid I would go with the heavy bolter not the free multimelta.
Three squads of deathwing 3SS/TH 2LC CML as the cc hammer 235 pts each.

interrogator chaplain with termy armour as HQ 145 pts.

All this for 2185pts.
