First the Fire, then the Blade
On the turn they arrive from Deep Strike Reserve, the Devastator Squads in this Formation have the Relentless special rule and the Assault Squads can charge even though they arrived from Reserves.
Suppressing Fusillade
A unit targeted by a Skyhammer Annihilation Force's Devastator Squads in the Shooting phase must take a Morale test at the end of the phase on 3D6, regardless of how many casualties were inflicted.  If the test is failed, the enemy unit does not Fall Back, but must imediately Go to Ground.  If the test is passed, the enemy unit is unable to fire Overwatch for the rest of the turn.
Shock Deployment
All units in this Formation start the game in Deep Strike Reserve.  instead of using the normal deployment and reserve rules for these units, you can, during deployment, choose whether they will arrive in your first or second turn.  The entire Formation automcatically arrives on the turn you chose.  Ignore this Formation's Drop Pods for the purposes of the Drop Pod Assault special rule.
Leave No Survivors
Asault Squads in this Formation can use their jump packs in both the Movement and Assault phase.  If an Assault Squad from this Formation charges a unit that has Gone to Ground as a result of the Suppressing Fusillade special rule, that Assault Squad can re-roll failed To Hit and To Wound rolls in the ensuing Assault phase.
