This is list is something i've been tinkering with for a local tournament, the idea is to give the enemy no easy targets and focus on ranged firepower with walkers and deep striking terminators.

Turn 1 - Shoot down vehicles and other key armoured targets from long range by outputting 2x as many shots with chapter ancients. Drop frag cannon furioso and attack key targets.

Turn 2 - Terminators come in turn 2 hopefully and fire off a storm of bolter shots at something firing twice. The hammers counter assault in case enemy threatens my dreads or drop into enemy and wreck face there.

Move the Libby nought in the the Furiosos since they all deep strike so you can use the other chapter Ancients well timed blow turn on to let them all fire twice. I used chapter Ancients at a tournament recently to success, I had a Furiosos with frag cannon heavy flamer, two Libby nought mastery level 2 with melta guns and a dread with assault cannon heavy flamer, the Libby's and Furioso were in pods.

Don't you apply their special rule on a case by case basis?

Meaning if some use their once per game ability the others within the same don't have to use it that same turn.

No for each chapter Ancients you get one turn to activate for the formation, not per dreadnought. It is a one turn per game only, and activates before drop pod come in.
