Needs tweaks. One tact will likely lose 2 dudes so Azzy and the Cha

I get 8 Comm Compp can ride.

I can't believe I'm thinking of getting a Dark Shroud

the entire point of formations is so they can ram units nobody buys down your throat.

Except for Eldar, their formations are all pertty tame. (ok well the crimson hunter formation is to sell you models). But they just made all the eldar stuff good enough that the formations didnt have to add much

In this case it's 2 separate things. The Dark Shroud is still ugly as hell, but it's super useful. And the assault marines for BS4 overwatch (including the Support Squad) is UUUUUUUUGGGGE

I'll be running this one once I get my Pods and Assault Squad together.

40+ marines, 10 termies, and a dread, might drop the assault squad by a marine to get the chappy in there. Assault sqd and Dread come in turn 1, DW come in turn 2, and the final tact sqd drops in on an obj as needed.
