I was wondering how people were rating the new DA relic weapons?

I've been fiddling with my clse combat terminator squad for fun and thought that adding a level 2 librarian with the 30 point mace would add some nice additional combat bite along with potential buffs/debufs from telepathy and/or divination.

The unit would be
belial
Deathwing command squad with champion, medic, banner, 3xlcs, 1xthss
librrian in terminator armour with force weapon and mace of redemption

This would give the following attacks on a full chrge: 15 S4 re-rollablewounds, 4 S8 concussive, 5 S6 AP2, 5 wounding on 2s from belal and 5 with either force possibility, or S7 concussive and blind. A nice mix in my view and all AP3 or AP2. With Prescience going off allhits would be re-rollable and if I'm lucky enough to get Invisibility the return hits will be minimised (not that the 2 could run at the same time).

Worth the 655 points, or am I dreaming?

The pt costs are a bit over the top. If this unit is exposed to short-ranged enemy fire, it will die. Normal Termies are not very durable.

Even with fnp from the medic? And maybe a 4+ invulnerable from the librarian with a bit of luck.

It would also be dropping with another 2 dakka squads that will open up on the most relevant shooting threats.
