So, I know it depend on a 3+ (rerollable) turn 1 to get started. 83% chance. As for the Archangels they come in turn 2 with also 83% chance.
First turn, SR position in close range each other then crack transport or focus fire primary threat. Turn 2, move SR 6", drop the tac squads then drop the terms squad in charge range.
Step one: Self cast quickening on your Lib, step 2 gakload of rapid fire and/or flamer/heavy flamer, SR fire at will, charge the tanks, MC or anything hard with TT/SS squad and rip infantry with claws term. Challenge with your buffed Lib and insta kill any non eternal warrior who miss a single save
Look like if your opponent don't have Interceptor or any skyfire solution they won't remove 3 SR first turn. (most likely not) then turn 2 they get 30 S8 AP2 hammer attck, 20 Claws attck, 6 flamer templates and possibly 30 more marines in charge... Its bad.

We all know it won't happen in a live game, cause it never goes like we wish. Let say, about half your games will work as intended, your opponent crying after he's triptide been murdered. Other half will be average to bad and sometimes you won't roll that reserve and get tabled lol.
Sound pretty fun !

I saw someone who took the ravens and put TH/SS termines in a fast attack drop pod and when they arrived turn 1 they charged.

Sounds a bit flimsy if you ask me. What if he just speedbumps you? 5 terminators just isnt sturdy in the current meta of AP2 madness.

For the question about getting fast attck pods for assault turn 1. The reason to take the archangels is the reroll on reserve for turn 2 and avoid been forced to drop your termies first turn against a null deployment list (your toasted).
Of course you need to roll in flesh tearers and need at least 1 troop and min 3 pods to make it work, so less models on table.

What about speed bumps. Of course it happen and your right. Let say he got a frontline of infantry models, turn 2 hover mode SR, move 6" then deploy tac squad for maximum cover and DS term behind your marine line, then charge in or flame...
If the speed bump is in front and there is room to place your termies behind them just go for it. Move the SR in hover mode 6", deploy sergent 6" then DS termies 12" ahead, that make 24" of range to place your TT/SS. Of course it have to be 12" of 2 sergents for the rule to apply. make it happen with both 6" moves.
At this point your opponent must choose to A: remove the marines. B removes the terms. C remove the SR.
One flyer can be ignored when you focus on mission pts and killing ground units but 3 SR is a serious problem for about anyone who don't have a solution against flyers.
The troop have object sec too.

I made the list more versatile with 3 TH/SS and 2 LC per squad. so they can close about anything with better result vs infantry.
Again, I think its a "fun" list to play, really fluffy for assaulting from reserve without scatter. Wannabe skyhammer but nothing close to what Codex Space marine can pull out...

I play Eldar, Necron and Nids also but my fav army is the weakest one. The Sons of Sanguinius.

Nice list. A little risky but that just adds to the fun of playing that kind of list IMO.

Remember that Deep Strikes reserves come in before standard movement so your example regarding speed bump is not valid. Still, I'm sure you can pull some nice trick with this list.

Oh, I feel stupid now, my bad.
I guess I was in a hype mood and forgot that DS reserve come in first...
So you have to carefully place those SR in turn one. Could be able to deploy troops via special SR rule but it add another "lucky roll" to a list that is already based on luck...
Im going to try this with proxy and let you know how it goes.
