Has anyone tried out razorback lists? Or light mech heavy armies?

I'm considering two 1500 razorback-centric forces:

List 1

Captain on a bike (relic blade, combi-melta)

10 Man Squad (Flamer, Powerfist, Lascannon) HB Razorback

10 Man Squad (Flamer, Powerfist, Plasma Cannon) HB Razorback

10 Man Squad (Meltagun, Powerfist, Missile Launcher) HB Razorback

10 Man Squad (Meltagun, Powerfist, Missile Launcher) HB Razorback

10 Man Assault Squad (2 Flamers, Powerfist)

Dreadnought, Heavy Flamer Assault Cannon

List 2

Captain on a bike (relic blade, combi-melta)

10 Man Squad (Flamer, Powerfist, Lascannon) HB Razorback

10 Man Squad (Flamer, Powerfist, Plasma Cannon) HB Razorback

10 Man Squad (Meltagun, Powerfist, Missile Launcher) HB Razorback

10 Man Assault Squad (2 Flamers, Powerfist)

Dreadnought, Heavy Flamer Assault Cannon
Dreadnought, Heavy Flamer Assault Cannon

And about 100 points of something to fill it out with...maybe a jump pack chaplain for the assault marines?

Which list looks better? The first looks like it won't do too well in a KP mission and lacks killing power. The second...looks like a mess to me.

Another consideration is the inclusion of Pedro and Sternguard but I feel it detracts from the light mech feel.

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Why the bike captain if you don't have any bikes? Also, fists are pretty bad on five-man units, as you're running a big risk of being torrented before you get to swing.

The 2nd list looks better. Three scoring units able to split into combat squads are enough.
As your Captain has a bike, I'd take Gike squadron instead of a jump packers.
