I noticed the wording of the Black Reaving RoW says that you may take Reavers as Troops rather than Fast Attack. Therefore the third squad is just that, my compulsory Fast Attack choice. The Tactical Squad is in there due to the minimum of three Troops choices in a Black Reaving army. The Reaver squads have Jump Packs for mobility and to double the number of models in combat with regards to the Merciless Fighters special rule. Damocles Rhino for pretty much guaranteed reserves T2. Other than that, all pretty simple. Simple tactics, Spartan down the middle, Reavers Outflank to get in your face. Criticism welcomed, thanks for your help.

Should be good. The one concern is that whilst reserves come in T2, they won't actually get into someone's face till turn 3.

On the other hand, someone will probably not deploy in a way to let the squad get a T2 charge off if they start on the board either, and even the broadside of a Spartan can only screen so many models!

There is an 88% chance for my reserves to come in T2 (per squad, 0.68% chance for everything in T2) so I should be in combat T3 with 3 Reaver Squads and the Terminators. Tactical Squad for some backfield objectives, and two Ordnance Bombardments to keep my opponent hunkered down.
