really this is a 2 wing list with some assets from the ravenwing as really your only two ravenwings are the nephilim and the darkshroud

imo, troops are just junk in AoO, its a bunch of points to hold an objective when no one is nearby, when really your going to be dogpiling around objectives anyway like we did before, and if you want an objective camper, eliminators are 75 points can sit on an objective and take potshots for pennies on the dollar. so thats a real...not deficiency but questionable decision, one thats got few merits to go in favor of it

I disagree - the new free weapon upgrade is a real treat for tac marines for mid field objective holding. They're now the best shooty option in DA's troop choices.

Yeah that' kind of point for this list, the Eradictors stay a little back field and hold anything there. The troops move and claim the mid field objectives and can do the claim and move off thing and stay in safety etc.

The Deathwing support mid and attack forwrd field where needed. Hellblasters go where needed.

Then the flyer is to cause neusance be a distraction etc.

Thats the general idea of this list.

Few things I'd point out in regards to the list:

1. We now have a reason to actually favor tac marines over nu-marine flavors due to the free weapon upgrade. Mid field troops IMO are better filled by plas/grav 5-man troops (combi+heavy/special weapon per squad)
2. Termies also got their weapon costs removed (which now makes CML kind of no-brainer) which also makes relic termies redundant. You can make 10-man squad and combat squad it into shooty half (with 2 CMLs) and melee half (with LCs)
3. Darkshroud is not so good for infantries after the stacking -to hit got revised. It's really only good for providing a mobile dense cover to units that can't normally claim benefits of cover from other terrains (i.e. bikers). Otherwise, its a point sink in a infantry heavy list. Better to turn it into vengeance for additional long range support.
