Gladius Task Force - 3X rEDEMPTOR DREADNOUGHTS, rEDEEMER, 1X6 aGGRESSOR sQUAD, 2X gLANCERS, 10X aSSAULT iNTERCESSORS
A good old Gladius Task Force detachment from Bret here with the usual block of 6x Aggressors and Fire Discipline Biologis for the damage output to drop C'tan as required in the current meta.
Azrael leads a unit of 10x Assault Intercessors, which is a solid pressure combination that doesn't really get the recognition it deserves. The synergy here is solid, with Azrael giving the Assault Intercessors the 4++ they need to be a tad more survivable, in addition to Sustained Hits which works wonders with the volume of attacks from the Assault Intercessors. In returnm the Assault Intercessors grant Azrael the ability to reroll Wound rolls, stacking well with his DEVASTATING WOUNDS from the Sword Secrets. The Gladius also provides this unit the opportunity to punch up with Honour the Chapter for 1CP to get the LANCE ability for +1 to Wound rolls when Charging, in addition to the +1AP if the unit is in the Assault Doctrine.
Double Redemptor, double Lancer and a Redeemer bring the firepower to down most targets and create a list that has options to deal with multiple threats. The Lancers are great into no-Invul targets; the Redemptors will pop 3W Elites (Hello Custodes) with relative ease and also provide a melee wall to the Emperors Golden Boys with their T10, 2+ and -1 damage profile; and then the Assault Intercessors and Aggressors can rain buckets of dice at Damage 1 down onto targets and wait for the failed saves to tally up.
Overall, a great list that maximises all the benefits of the Gladius and can flex into a shooting or melee game as the opponent and layout demand.

The current hotness continues with this list from Liam Callebout as the Stormraven rides to a 4-0 at "GT in a Day".
The Company Heroes with Azrael is currently a combination thats no longer legal as the Datasheet change for Azrael is only linked to the Index, not the new Codex Supplement. Hopefully this will be rectified by Games Workshop soon and a new FAQ for the Codex Supplement is rolled out.
Aside from that, the list is a relatively standard Stormraven build, with the Thunderstrik riding alongside to provide the +1 to wound against VEHICLE and MONSTER units that the Stormraven and Redemptors maybe need in order to punch up with the S9 weapons. Failing that, the Repulsor Executioner is on hand to provide the S16 shooting from its main Laser Destroyer to round off non-Invulnerable save targets, whilst also have a high volume of other shooting to really benefit from Mercy is Weakness should the Stormraven not be in a position to maximise its use.
Liam has opted to run the Master of Machine War Enhancement on a Phobos Librarian and is something we saw from Jay Seebarun (another VT regular) at the South-Coast GT last weekend. This is an option I hadn't considered before but you instantly see the benefits with an increasing number of "more than 3" away" Deep Strike units coming into play - especially with our own Inner Circle Detachment providing a similar ability on demand. Having the Infiltrators with the Lone Operative rule due to the Librarian is almost becoming a requirement for Marine lists to push back against this tactic.
