Now, to combat the legitimate hype train of "Objective secured AV12 Lytches!".

1. Tactical Squads arriving in pods are not very mobile.
2. Drop Pods are not mobile.
3. This combination makes it hard for you to take advantage of the technical 2 Obj Secured units in one, since it will be a rare chance that positioning a pod and its tac squad in such a was that they can cap two objectives per the board layout is going to be a smart move per opponent deployment and subsequent moves.
4. I wouldn't consider a storm bolter a "turret" so I am guessing everyone will be doing the smart thing and turning their 35 point drop pod into a 50 point str5 ap- large blast that now admittedly is better now that it can fire the turn it lands.
5. And I say 12" str5 ap- large blast and not "deathwind" because despite the name it isnt doing anything more than hitting a few units and doing in general worse or as good as bolter shots. This is not a large blast Heavy Bolter, this isnt even a large blast bolt pistol, it has one higher str than a bolt pistol but always grants armor saves. The mass units that you would normally gain an advantage of with large blasts laugh at your fancy name firecracker because they get to use their armor save.
6. Call me crazy, but I would hesitate to even take the deathwind if it was free. Course' I would if facing lots of 4+ or better saves where the storm bolter wouldnt help, but 5+ save (where in general large blasts help) I would be hesitant to take the deathbreeze.
7. So the deathbreeze may not be great, it may not even be 15 points decent, but surely there are scenarios in which it would help. Yea, remember, you are using this as an objective secured AV12 all round token. Deathbreeze has 12" range. It is conceivable that whatever is wanting to cap can take 13" shots at it and run to hold the objective. Something that cannot be easily done with 24" storm bolter, where they don't have the luxury of being 13" away but 25" is the minimum safe distance, so they have to grin and bear it.
8. Storm Bolter, free and causes them to grin and bear it, not great. But grinning and bearing it will have them lose a little, and some of this, a turn or two from that, and you have sufficiently weakened them to where they most likely don't have the dice to take out the av12 token with a storm bolter.
9. So, now that people see past the deathbreeze's "str5" bluff and you realize any benefits aren't worth the 15 points, you are stuck with the realization that you get a AV12 token that has a storm bolter, doesn't protect your troops, doesn't give your troops mobility, and oh yea, the thing that drop pods are actually used for.... or were with tac squads...

NUMBER 10!!!!- Getting a scoring unit to a place it can score! It doesnt do that with any sort of efficiency that 7th ed. dedicated transports provide. The point of having drop pods for your tac squads was to get your only legitimate source of scoring (tac squads) to the objective. While it didn't get any worse or better at that with 7th edition, thats the problem. Now every dedicated transport has the ability to protect troops, deliver troops to either an objective or place that needs them, and then has the ability to go and snag an objective late game as a bonus. The drop pod has always sacrificed mobility and cargo protection for delivering troops on time, but it didn't gain the mobile objective secure rule that all the other dedicated transports did, it is an immobile token that can have a storm bolter, and it is in the same vicinity as your troops, which are not mobile in any sense of the game.

As for "they are super survivable". That's an illusion. Nobody had reason to shoot at them before, the only time they would get shot at is if the opponent has destroyed everything in the max range radius and decided to take a pop shot at it. So of course your drop pods always lasted more than anything else, from the turn they were in play they did their job and there is no benefit in most games from shooting at them.

Lastly, don't fool yourself with any inkling of AV12 survivability, ESPECIALLY with AV12 in meq 'dexes. Not only are these open-topped, but they are immobile. While on paper immobile doesn't mean much either way, it means a lot now that they are a target, since not only do you not have the option of hiding/maneuvering said vehicle away from getting hit, your opponent doesn't have to worry about if and when he will be able to shoot at it and with what units. It doesn't move, you as the controlling player can't do more with it then roll to hit with a couple str4 or str5 dice, so your opponent can tell themselves "I know how much fire power it will take, I can mitigate that amount from local units as convenient".

Keeping it short, its an ork token that is impossible unless foolish to destroy comparatively to any other vehicle in the game, don't use it for objective secured and give them a reason to destroy it.

Other:

The plan: So the plan is to pile all the tac squads in the rhinos and razorbacks, the MOTF in the stormraven, bolster ruins with the MOTF and put the sniper scouts with their cloaks in 2+ cover save, have the knight smash through their lines, hurling str9 ap1 large-blast melta everywhere, then send in the fliers for air superiority. Take the tac marines out of the rhinos and razorback, combat squading from rhinos, then depending on what the opponent has, screen them with the rhinos and razorbacks or use the rhinos to objective secure stuff (using their guns to shot enemies in range), all 5-man tac squads as well as the transports have OS. Use the MOTF to repair the storm raven and use it as a fire magnet because it repairs HP on a 3+ from MOTF and it has IWND.
Oh, and everything has either ITND or 6+ FNP.
