Gameworkshop should allow the Deathstrikes to have their own army in the future and their own codex of course.
Story could be a good amount of Deathstrike Missile Launchers have joined together, combing their powers or are just working together to take revenge on the Astra Militarum.
This may seem unbalanced but they could make it balance, just look at the Tempestus Militarum, they are all powerful and they have their own codex and army.
Better idea.

Greebo had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.

1980p: 22 DX-6 'Remora' Drone Fighters. 22 networked markerlights, 44 S8 AP3 missiles and 22 TL S5 AP5 Heavy 6 weapons. BS3, Shrouded and Flyer. It's like poking a hornet hive.
THIS kind of hornet.
As an alternative list, bring 15 Barracudas (stock; 1950 - you can have one as a Fighter Ace!) or 11 - each with 4 seeker missiles, decoy launchers, automated repair system, advanced targeting system and blacksun filter (1991p). If you ditch the last 3 upgrades, you can squeeze in another Barracuda (1980p)
Against AV 14, you can get 16 Railheads (stock: 2000p) or 13 with disruption pod, automated repair systems, blacksun filter and sensor spines (1963p). If one of them ditches the disruption pod, another can have Longstrike (1993p)

The sheer volume of pie plate destruction would be delightful.
This. Really, is there any other option?
There is no such thing as a hobby without politics. "Leave politics at the door" is itself a political statement, an endorsement of the status quo and an attempt to silence dissenting voices.

I create a literal wall of buildings that have the doors facing me. Only jump infatry, skimmers, flyers, FMCs can get over. I barrage you do death with little recourse. Enjoy!
1850 Unbound:
39x Acolytes (3x guys, Rhino)
I fill the table with 39 Rhinos and proceed to either clog everything with smoldering craters of Rhinos, or I proceed to tank shock/ram your army off the board. Remember, if you fall back because of Tank Shock, but cannot retreat 1" away from my units, you are destroyed. I proceed to crush your army under my treads, quite literally.

Not only that. you can booby trap them as well from strong hold. and give all the vehicles flamers to toast them when they get inside
A unique unit can only be taken once. FOC or no FOC. Removing the FOC doesn't change the fact he can only be taken once.
What am I missing here?
Agies Grimm:The "Learn to play, bro" mentality is mostly just a way for someone to try to shame you by implying that their metaphorical nerd-wiener is bigger than yours. Which, ironically, I think nerds do even more vehemently than jocks.
Everything is made up and the points don't matter. 40K or Who's Line is it Anyway?
