Designing 1DP Detachments

[Tawnis]

So, we've seen some parts of the new 1DP detachments and I'm really liking the specialized nature of them that will lead to a lot of mix and matching of various small numbers or types of units here and there into larger forces. I keep thinking of cool and flavourful different mini detachments we could get and wanted to know what you would all design if you had a crack at it. 

 

Here are the rules: 

- Detachment can only affect a small number of units for any given faction. 

- 2 "Enhancements" 1 Traditional and 1 Upgrade. 

- 3 Stratagems.

Here's what I've come up with:

 

Space Marines

 

Foebreakder Strike Force: When an enemy unit within 6" of a Reiver or Infernus unit fails a battle shock test, that unit takes D3 mortal wounds. 

Enhancement: Kingsbane: Reiver Character only. Melee attacks from this character have Anti-Character 2+. 
Upgrade: Promethium Grenades: When an enemy unit suffers a Mortal Wound from a grenade stratagem used by this unit, they must take a Battle Shock test at -1. 

Stratagems: 
(1CP) Sowing Discord: A Reiver or Infernus unit can Fall Back, Shoot and Charge.

(2CP) Here is your Warlord!: Use this stratagem only when the enemy Warlord is slain, and only once per game. All enemy units must take a battle shock test. 
(1CP) Hellfire Protocol: An Infernus units Pyreblaster gains Close Quarters and Hazardous. 

Simple little bits here and there, but I think this would be a lot of fun to play. What are your thoughts? Any subsets of armies you'd like to see get a 1DP Detachments?

DETACHMENT RULE

COORDINATED DESCENT

A Chapter's jump pack equipped troops arrive with precision and exactly when their brothers on the ground need them.
