I stole this article from Bols. It’s thought provoking.

I think the list is strong versus Imperial Guard and horde armies, without having to rely on your TH/SS terminators to do all your nasty business.

Obviously the thought is to close quickly, teleport your guys up there, and then start wading through infantry with your hammers of doom. I picked null zone to help deal with Daemons and other TH/SS terminators. It might be worth it to run both librarians with the same psychic power set up just to help with some redundancy. The other parts of the army are designed to hold objectives and dish out boatloads of wounds to thin out large attack mob based armies, which can pull the TH/SS terminators down under the weight of multiple armour saves.

Again I did not come up with the initial idea of this list; I just had it shove its hammers down my throat one game at the weekend tournament. I thought it had some merit, and with a few small tweaks it should shore up any issues with its ability to cover the horde, as well as give most armies fits as they try to deal with the TH/SS terminators. For those needing a smaller point total, drop the one tact squad and predator
