Was bored and thought about what units I thought were cool in Dark Angels (except Corswain, hoping he gets a model soon) and made up a list around what I thought was cool. Corswain will roll with 5 deathwing companions in a rhino and target elite infantry. Marduk Sedras and Interemptors will target basic infantry/big units of tactical marines and be riding in a rhino. The Lion and Cenobium will target important characters or tanks with their terranic greatswords and will be riding in the Spartan. The Kratos tank will sit in the back and focus other tanks and high armor value targets. The 3 big blobs of 20 tacs just sounds badass but they will focus on taking objectives. Any thoughts and criticism? Any idea what rite of war would fit this? or what wing I should take with cenobium on how they plan to focus tanks/primarchs/characters?

A few thought on that List: Marduk cant join the Interemptors in the Rhino as the Rhino has the special rule "infantry transport" and thus cant transport Terminators.
I would not put your Deathwing Companions in a Rhino. Its a Melee beastick type unit and you cant charge as you deploy out of a rhino (no assault ramp).
Your special units are very small in unit size. I would bump the numberes of the interemptors up as they are only MEQ and dont live long on their own.
You dump a LOT of points in single models/characters and LOWs. ~1/3 of your points is spend in 3 Characters.
If you pay the extra points for lascannons on the kratos, get the flairshield aswell. It pops rather quickly otherwhise.
A RoW you could run would be the Storm Wing one if you want to stick with the huge 20 man Tactical Squads.
You could drop Corswain and his Squad for Centurions in each Tac-squad (using the 3 models w/o shields out of the Deathwing Squad for example?)
On the Inner Knights I would take the Deathwing upgrade as it gives you +1 to hit with our swords, since you are WS 5 you hit WS 4 on a 2+ and WS 5 still on a 3+ (thats important for a squad of only 5 Terminators). Reaper of Hosts or Hunter of Beasts would be my two picks on the special rules. Why? Hunter of Beasts allows you to reroll any Woundrolls against T6+ (and 1s against T5). That brings your Inner Knights upto a Contemptor annihilation squad. You hit him on 3s, 5+ to rend and ID (i.e. D3 wounds, per ID wound) and you can reroll any other to wound roll. The squad should deal around 9 wounds to a Contemptor in a turn they didnt charge. And that at Initiative. Reaper of Hosts is great with a smaller squad if you wanna charge bigger squads than your own, because you get free additional attacks. 🙂
