Double posting for a quick question
Obliterators 75pts like in armyforge and black legion list?
Or 85pts - what the list pdf states?
75pts, 85 is a typo, will get it corrected and update the pdf today

Also just throwing my point in for not increasing the terminator cost, it's better to keep it in line with Black Legion.
They aren't 300pts good without ATSKNF
noted, I have to respectfully disagree, sure if you play them like regular chaos terminators and teleport them in then you're paying a premium, however due to the potentially game-winning power of a well executed and supported air assault, which is possible with this list, I felt it merited them being a little more expensive to compensate
Chaos terminators were developed and costed for the role of teleporting/deep striking in the black legion list, they weren't tested with a thunderhawk, from my games with both the Red Corsairs and Emperor's children, the terminators had a new lease of life with their shiny new air transport, just as conversely they went down 25pts in the IF list when they lost access to air transports and became less flexible as a result
unlike teleporting where you expose the dudes for the rest of the turn, if you pull off the recycled air assault trick, they often aren't on the deck for more than a couple of activations, hit every bit as hard as loyal termies, and rally just as easily from the comfort of the thunderhawk, sure it can all go wrong for them, but they're still 100 pts cheaper than loyal termies with a character
Right now my opinion from my test games is that they feel right at 300 pts
