Yeah, I went a little crazy running way too many terminators, in my opinion 50% of the time it should be AMAZING, the rest it is gonna get shrecked.

Nemesis Strikeforce

Librarian (Sanctic)
-ML3
-Nemesis Force Stave
-Domina Liber Daemonica

Warlord hoping for the extra Sanctic power so he gets 5 rolls on the chart to try and nearly guarantee Sanctuary

Librarian (Divination for Prescience)
-Hammer

10 Paladins
-4 Psycannons
-Brotherhood Banner
-Apothecary

Combat Squadded one has the 4 cannons and a sword, the rest hang out together. Both libbies and Draigo hang out with the banner squad to form the scariest combat unit I can throw down.

2 Units of 10 Terminators
2 Hammers in each
2 Psycannons in each
3 Falchions in each

Combat squadded with 2 cannons and 3 swords in one, 2 hammers and 3 falchions in the other.

Draigo

So that is 33 terminator bodies on the table including Draigo. How am I gonna deal with flyers, SHOOT THEM WITH 8 PSYCANNONS (32 S7 AP4 Rending Shots) AND PRAY TO THE EMPRAH!!! Same story for how I am going to deal with heavy armour (land raiders and such) unless I have the opportunity to assault with my fighty squads. It is gimmicky as all get outs, but if an army does not have a decent amount of AP2 it will get scary. Depending on warlord trait i will decide what to deep strike (if it is auto enter I might deep strike my whole army)

If you dropped 1 unit of termies for 2 DKs, you would have a list that is awesome 75% of the time, rather than just 50%.

Otherwise, the ideas behind your loadouts are sound. Don't always cram the Psycannons into the same units. Against many MSU style opponents, like DE Venom Spam, Gladius Marines, Eldar Scatter bikes, etc, you are better of spreading out your fire power. Thankfully this is the best thing about combat squads is that you can change who is with who on a game to game basis.
