So long as you're not mixing ass cannons and cyclones with lightning
claws/thunder hammers in the same squads, yes.

Get the DA FAQ, it's clear enough - you use the Terminator squads from the
4th ed Space Marine Codex instead of the ones in the DA codex for the
Deathwing units. DW terminators got cheaper too. And plasma cannons on
dreadnoughts are still legal, but not as useful as they once were.

If you've got the 1st printing of the DA Codex you'll also need the DA
Update PDF with the changes from the 1st to 2nd printing as these aren't
included in the FAQ. It's a bit of a mess needing 3 or 4 codexes/pdfs, but
it's all we DA players have.

I knew DA were depraved but Ass cannons? Obviously what the skirts were
designed to hide.

If you look on the GW (UK) site in their 'Chapter Approved' section you
should be able to find both the FAQ and the codex updates that Spack
mentioned. You can try the US site as well, but it's a lot more clunky
when it comes to finding stuff.
