The Army of re-roll.

Chapter Traits: Close-Ranged Bolter Drill, bolters are twin-linked (re-roll misses) to 12 inches. Tank Hunters for Devastators. Ultramarines Tactical Doctrine for Centurions and Tac Squad.

6+D6 Warp Charges, 7 psychic powers, and both Librarians re-roll failed psychic tests. Tigurius deploys with Devs, spams Prescience or Forewarning. The Sentinels Librarian deploys with the Centurions on the field or from the Storm Raven (Skies of Fury). Deep Strike rolls for the Storm Raven may be re-rolled. If an assault unit gets close to the Centurions, the Sentinels Libby casts Smite, followed by Iron Arm, Warp Speed, Endurance or Enfeeble. Only 2 scoring troop units, but both of these can combat squad. Ultra Tacs clean light infantry off hard-to-reach objectives.

COMBINED ARMS

Level 2 Librarian, Force Staff, Terminator Armor, Storm Shield, Bones of Osrak (Biomancy)
Tactical Squad x 10, Plasma Gun, Combi-Plasma, Rhino
Tactical Squad x 10, Plasma Gun, Combi-Plasma, Rhino
Devastators x 10, Lascannon x 4

ALLIES

Centurions x 3, Twin-Linked Grav Cannons, Hurricane Bolters
Tactical Squad x 7, Flamer, Rhino
Stormraven Gunship, Twin-Linked Lascannon, Typhoon Missile Launcher, 4 x Strike Missiles, Extra Armor

Opinions welcome.

A few corrections:

if Tigurius is part of your allied detachment then you can't use his Warlord Trait since your warlord must come from your primary detachment. You'd have to use either one of the Sentinels trait or one of the BRB ones.

Where do you see the ability to reroll the deep-strike roll for the Stormraven???

While deploying your Centurions via the Stormraven is a decent idea (better hope you get good reserve rolls), they'd be better off joined by Tigurius for Prescience and the 4++ power.

Overall I get where you're trying to go with this but it feels a bit clunky, could use some smoothing out.

Any unit in Tigurius' detachment may re-roll reserve rolls. Warlord trait removed.

Smooth away ... what should I change?

I would make the cents Ultramarines so they at least get a small bonus from the tactical doctrine.. The grav amps basically already give them what tank hunter does so no need to make them IF.

Get that tac squad to 10 so you can combat squad (the devs aren't with combat squadding IMO so just move a body from there).

I like Tiggy with the devs and the Libby with the cents. If all goes well and you get some decent stuff in the Libby like gate or levitate, you might not need the 4++ and Tiggy can make those devs savage.

Overall, not a bad list at all.

Thanks. Edits made.

When I typed this up I was looking for flexibility. Tigurius doesn't have to go any particular place. I can change his psychic discipline and where he goes depending on the opponent.

Part of the reason I wanted to leave one Tac squad at 9 ... so he could hop in with them, if he wanted.
