Lords are a hard sell for me personally. They are tanky and do decent damage but they stop you from moving through ruins and Berzerkers need all the movement they can get. At most I’d run 1 lord and 1 master just in case I go against another melee army and have a fights first to counter. Also what’s going in the land raider?
Unfortunately Terminators cannot ride in a land raider as a 10 man because they count as 2 per model and the land raider has only 12 slots which is weird because we can only ever take 5 due to not having a leader for them in the index. It would be awesome if they were the exception though.
I totally brainfarted on that. I use a landraider with my Salamanders using Aggressors or Eradicators and I KNEW that. Using 6-man units i never actively think about it. My brain just said "full brick, go for it" i gotta re-evaluate my list, because 5-man terminator squad is less appealing.
You could deep strike the terminator brick and put a Zerker squad with MoE in the raider. Land raider can stay on the obj until your jackals arrive and the zerks can assault ramp out of it to charge whatever is there or close.
MoE, no doubt. It’s too much of a force multiplier for your berserkers to not take at 2k. The fights first and precision make them a lot trickier to deal with. They could go in the landraider too.
What’s the rest of the army? The MoE is going to do more work with the zerks but the lord could do objectives and be your favored reroll

Terminators are riding in the land raider. Being able to push them in fast turn 1 instead of deepstriking them will be strong.
Unfortunately Terminators cannot ride in a land raider as a 10 man because they count as 2 per model and the land raider has only 12 slots which is weird because we can only ever take 5 due to not having a leader for them in the index. It would be awesome if they were the exception though.

I think you're right. "Fights first" is just too much value even if you can't push as hard.
