I haven't played in 7th edition, but I've got myself a rulebook and a codex and it seems as though the dual force org lists I've usually run, using all available heavy support slots are still legal, I really want to avoid unbound lists, though I'm sure I'll come up against them when I return to my local club.

I like TAC termies a lot and with the points drop in the new codex, it doesn't seem like you're hamstringing your self too much by bringing them along, in fact 200 pts with AC and Chainfist seems like a pretty good deal to me. They're also there to give some ablative wounds to my beatstick HQs. The idea with them is to hold them back as a counter assault unit or teleport deep strike them if it seems appropriate for the situation.

Also a quick question, is IA Aeronautica still the most recent ruleset for the contemptor mortis dread, because that is what I'm using, has the rule set been updated in my absence?

The list is quite heavy in firepower, well at least 40 Assault cannon shots, 8 las cannons and 2 whirlwinds, it seems that way to me, but maybe that's not a great deal in today's meta.

Oh and about the whirlwinds, I know most would say squeeze in TFCs if possible, I've always found AP4 ordnance to be really useful for dislodging 4+ troops from behind cover with the vengeance round, plus I can almost get 2 whirlwinds for the cost of 1 TFC.

I also take a nicely converted Lysander as my warlord, I know I'm not running imperial fists, but this gives me eternal warrior warlord while freeing up the shield eternal for my beatstick libby. Open to suggestions however and I have other options available. Take chapter master with shield eternal, Libby gets downgraded to storm shield, is 2 wounds really worth eternal warrior + will be rolling biomancy and could get it anyway?

So here's the list:
