Drop the mini Terminator squad and one of the big ones and let's set aside the Vanguard squad for a moment. Now add the Sanguine Wing Formation with Sternguard equipped with Combi Meltas and put your Vanguard back in with all their free Power weapons. You don't honestly need the Chainfists anymore because of the Melta Sternguard. Combat Squad them and drop them from the Stormraven where you need them. Add Melta Bombs to taste and you're still using just Archangels but with free gear.

Don't own sternguard, though i do think you have solid ideas. Keeping to the 1st company theme and all.

I'm interested to know if you think the list works as is.

I've seen Terminators do some very fancy things and depending on deployment you can maximize what they can do. If you combat squad them for the two Cyclones to start the game on the table doing their thing while the other five go in and kill things up close, the Sergeant in that group, you can get a decent bit of fire going.

I would find a way to get the Assault Cannon in on the small squad, even if it means dropping some of your current Melta Bombs. I like missiles more than the next guy, but Rending is very, very helpful.

Other than that, it won't win Tournaments but I don't think it will do too terribly in a more friendly environment. I do worry about if you come up against fliers or two Land Raiders. No Skyfire, no ranged anti-tank, but not much available using just Terminators. hipefully there's a decent bit of saturation and it works.

As long as your opponent doesn't have a large amount of ap2 or any fliers then this list should be pretty good as it is

Land raiders should be no problem with so many hammers, fists and chainfists lurking in my list.Not to mention all those meltabombs

And also the assault squad cant take an assault cannon.

Yeah flyers...are def a problem but i figured that theres no flyer currently that's super good at killing 2+ models other than maybe the doom scythe

Terminators dont fear heldrakes, they dont fear ap4/ap3 missiles and if i make it to close combat then the flyer wont really have anything to target. So im hoping those factors mitigate the lack of air power which i think is def a flaw in the list

This entire time I thought the small squad was normal Terminators. Missed that one.
