I'm guessing the Terminators troops are starting in Deep Strike? The list is very tough and hard to take down units, but also doesn't start with a lot of bodies on the board. Night Fighting to help reduce incoming ranged attacks against the dreadnoughts and Proteus?

Just hoping the mission has NF? Because without TA, it isn't in play automatically, I don't believe.

Ya, some missions, like #6, notably doesn't have night fight in it.

The list itself is very strong, but it's more of the fact that there's 4 dreads in it. Night lords make it frustrating to target the terminators, but the ratio of interceptor stuff can get pretty wild, so it can balance out.

Something else to watch out for is the leadership and ballistic skill penalty a lot of your units are going to take during night if it rolls over to turn 2. Impacts different units differently; the key ones being the land raider and dreads for shooting, and the command squad for leadership (since sevatar breaks inexorable).
