Hey Everyone, I've been trying to formulate an army list (1500 points) that includes my favorite units from DA and MT which would be fun to play and be at least somewhat cohesive, and wanted to get everyones thoughts and potential feedback.

Command Squad: (145)
-4x Plasma Guns

Command Squad: (125)
-4x Hot Shot Volleyguns

Scions (100)
-2x Plasma Guns

Scions (90)
-2x Melta Guns

Total: 1500

I plan to have Ezekiel join the MT Plasma command squad in the Rhino Primaris, and have Ezekiel roll completely on Divination or Interromancy (leaning towards Interromancy for fluff purposes). It seems that in the recent draft FAQ units composed of multiple factions "count as having all the factions of all the models in the unit". To me this would then imply that the MT command squad that Ezekiel joined would be able to receive specific Faction benefits including: Tactical Authority (from Land Raider Excelsior) and Book of salvation (from Ezekiel). The idea would be to have the Land Raider Excelsior and Rhino Primaris close to one another so that the Excelsior gains the +1BS and so the Deathwing Knights get the +1 attack from the Book of Salvation. Im hoping the DW knights would be able to wipe out most problem units, with up to 5 attacks each on the charge (2 base attacks, +1 charge, +1 Book of Salvation, +1 Rage (from righteous repugnance)) with preferred enemies (from Tactical authority). Im not looking for a super powerful list, more-so one that would be fun to play and with a lot of cool rules and models.. What do you all think?

Can Dark Angels use the Command Tanks?

New GW FAQ will likely prevent battle brother from deploying embarked upon allied transports.

If you have some Drop Pods, the Locator Beacons could help the Deep Striking Tempestus.
