Essentially terminators and Abaddon in the Spartan, 2 reaver squads outflanking and causing mayhem (each with an apothecary) and then the Tactical Squad hangs back, dropping an Orbital Bombardment when possible. Constructive criticism welcomed.

Tactics written below, thanks for any help

I'd switch out Abaddon for a normal Praetor in Cataphractii Terminator Armour. Give him a Paragon Blade, PowerFist and the Cataphractii Priumus relic. He'll have +1S, AP2, Murderous Strike attacks at Initiative and Eternal Warrior. Switch out the Terminators for a Justaerin unit, which can Deep Strike is you use the Black Reaving RoW. Your Tactical squads also don't have much mobility, so drop the Spartan and give them a Storm Eagle, which can get them quicker into combat and gives you some AA. You also have to take more Fast Attack than Heavy Support choices with the Blacdk Reaving, meaning you have to take at least 1 Fast Attack choice. I'd also invest in a Damocles command Rhino, which really boosts your reserves and gives you an extra orbital bombardment. Also, give your Reavers Jump Packs. Not only will it increase their mobility, it will also mean that each one counts as 2 models for the purpose of merciless fighters.

For similar points, I don't feel that 5 Justaerin are worth 10 normal terminators?
Thanks for the point about the Fast Attack spot, I'll think about that.
Jump packs are also expensive points-wise, but I like the idea with regard to Merciless Fighters.

I noticed the wording of the Black Reaving RoW says that you may take Reavers as Troops rather than Fast Attack. Therefore the third squad is just that, my compulsory Fast Attack choice. The Tactical Squad is in there due to the minimum of three Troops choices in a Black Reaving army. The Reaver squads have Jump Packs for mobility and to double the number of models in combat with regards to the Merciless Fighters special rule. Damocles Rhino for pretty much guaranteed reserves T2. Other than that, all pretty simple. Criticism again welcomed, thanks for your previous help @natpri771.
