So I got the last model for my planned Primaris Marine list the day the FAQ got dropped. Most of my stuff dodged a bullet but I had to drop half my reivers and swap a Dark Talon for a Nephilim to make everything fit in 2k. I want this to be a list I bring to tournaments and I'm wondering about my air wing - they form the core of my anti-armor and I'm starting to doubt if they are the best choice. Should I consider swapping them for more Inceptors or hellblasters? Would Tanks be a safer investment for the points?

Current Tactics:
I deploy the Iron Hands as far forward as cover allows, the reievers to soak up fire and the agressors advancing behind to meet the enemy (unless I'm lucky enough to count on them charging at me). The Dark Angels marines deploy behind them, focusing on the larger threats and providing a reason for the enemy to want to close. The flyers deploy as far back as possible and target the thing with the highest number of wounds, trying to strafe the key models. The Inceptors deploy in reserves and pop out in front of whatever is worth the most points a use Weapons of the Dark Age to take it out (and likely explode in the process). I wanted to build a TAC list that could focus on offense or defense depending on what I dropped against.
Should I swap the flyers? Are Inceptors still worth the cost is they don't DS on turn 1? Any other advice/criticisms?
