An interesting look.

I really hope this doesn't just replace Firestorm Assault.

 

The entire selling point of the detachments system was that they were (for the most part) subfaction agnostic, so having all the codex Marine detachments (except Gladius) get essentially turned into "proper" subfaction Detachments would be annoying.

Agreed. So far GW hasn't replaced any Detachments apart from Index ones that have vanished when the codex dropped. But this does feel so close to Firestorm Assault that it makes me nervous.

If they had also taken out Burning Vengeance then I'd be proper happy. There'd be a clear distinction between one detachment supporting transports and other really focused on infantry. Heck, it would have let them fit in some sort of resilience strat, because y'know, Salamanders.

I like that its just different enough. Not needed to go crazy with transports its nice
