Armour of Contempt has made Terminators interesting again.

My usual list is Swordbearers
Moral Wound Libby with Sigil
Techmarine with Conduit and Gate
GMDK with Psilen/Psycan, Hammer, Scrolls, and Servant
Apothecary (for another Dominus power and for Purifying objectives)
3x5 GKSS with incinerator in each
10xGKI with two incinerators
2x6 GKI
3x NDK, swords and psilen-psycan, one with a teleporter

My idea is to replace some of that with 2 units of TDA
Moral Wound Libby with Sigil
Techmarine with Conduit and Gate
GMDK with Psilen/Psycan, Hammer, Scrolls, and Servant
Apothecary (for another Dominus power and for Purifying objectives AND for raising Paladins, AND Unyielding Anvil trait to make the Pallies ObSec)
5xTermies
2x5 GKSS with incinerator in each
5x Paladins, 2 psilencers (Armoured Resilience)
10xGKI with two incinerators
5x GKI
2x NDK, swords and psilen-psycan, one with a teleporter

I have 7 fewer wounds in the second list, but those are arguably tougher, bc I think Pallies with Resilience are harder to crack than NDKs now... in Shadows with Resilience, it takes -4AP to even shift their armour save with shooting, and -3AP to move it in combat.
I have 12 units in the second list compared to 13, which means less board control and fewer casts.
The Paladins replace one of the NDKs, they are worse at shooting (only S4 D1 shots) but better at combat (with 21 attacks at S5-6).

Any thoughts on the two lists? List 1 has better mobility, while List 2 has better survivability

First list was state of the art before AoC.
New list seems viable with more TDA. I'd go for it.

I tweaked a little more, and dropped the Troop TDA for a GKSS and instead added 2 Pallies. This gives a bit more mileage out of Armoured Resilience, and more of a chance at resurrecting some.

Taking this to a 50-man tournament, so we'll see how it does!

My favorite list is like this (not yet checked the pts):

Techmarine
GMDK with psilen-psycann, sword
3x5 GKSS
3x5 GKI
3x NDK, swords and psilen-psycan
and maxed out Paladins (armoured resilience).
Libby and Apothecary debatable.
