On the table from first round is the SST, the RE (with eradicators embarked), the two RD and the techmarine along with the incursors and the intercessors who will be trying to contain OB markers.

 

The Ancient and Captain joins the Terminator squad and deep strike in at the earliest (his 2nd with Teleport homer or my 2nd with normal Deep strike). The Eradicators embarks on the Repulsor Executioner for a forward thrust, while the two dreadnougts escort the techmarine who applie his BofO to one of them (and heal him), while the other is supported by an incursor squad, for +1 to the hit on range. In third battle round I will arrive with my two Inceptor squads who wills support the rest of the army.

 

What do you think?

[CCE1981]

I only see one real anti-tank unit that wants to hang back carrying a anti-transport unit that wants to be up close.  I think this list will struggle against any vehicle/Monster list.

 

Unfortunately Terminators while a hard to shift brick also lack killing power. 

 

Be careful with your Incursors, as soon as something sees them you will pick up the entire unit, which seems to happen to any unit that isn't a Vehicle of Monster this edition

[Paladin777]

A regular land raider tends to outperform the RepEx in the anti-tank department, has twice the carrying capacity, and a 2+ save. 
 

other than that, I think you'll likely find that a monstrous terminator unit like that is easily screened from where they really want to be, and their slow speed will make them struggle to make up the difference, though doctrines will help. 
 

it might be worth considering splitting the unit in half.

I noticed you're not using any Special Characters. If you're hellbent on using Terminators have you considered choosing Deathwatch as the Chapter? You'd at least get three heavy weapons instead of two for the full size squad.
