Planning on entering the local tournament at the end of next month (will be my first). I have several ideas, but only tried one of them so far.

List 1:

This is the list I tried against my friends. It did well (played against Necrons and Tau).

Captain
-Relic Blade
-Artificer Armour

Chaplain
-Jump pack

3x Tactical Squads
-Plasma Cannons/Flamers/Rhinos

2x Scouts (both 5 models)
-Heavy Bolters

Assault Squad (10 models)
-Powerfist

Terminators (5 models)
-Cyclone Launchers

Land Raider

2x Dreadnaughts
-Multi Meltas/Drop Pods

----------------------------------------------

List 2:

This is a list I haven't tried, but looks very destructive to me.

Captain
-Relic Blade
-Artificer Armour

Chaplain
-Terminator Armour

4x Tactical Squads
-Missile Launchers/Flamers/Rhinos

2x Assault Terminators (5 models)

2x Land Raider

----------------------------------------------

Of course any feedback on these lists is more then necessary, but my main two question are as follows:
-In list #1, is it worth considering exchanging the Dreads for Vindicators?
-Is list #2 more lethal then the first?

Generally speaking, I'm also wondering if lists are usually interchangeable between games in tournaments.

On the 1st list:

Lose the Captain. You can take a Master of the Forge and replace the Land Raider with 1 or 2 more Dreads. I don't think you need to pod any of them, take the middle field. Optionally, use a Librarian with Gate of Infinity and Null Zone, attach to Terminators. Gate keeps you mobile while Null Zone allows you to buttslap with your Plasma Cannons. Then you could take out the Land Raider for Vindicators or Whirlwinds.

On the 2nd list:

Take 2 Chaplains, or 1 Chaplain and Cassius. 1 less Tac Squad, take them all with Multi Meltas and drive to the middle to support your advancing raiders. Use 2 LRC with Multi Melta. Take 2 Predators with HB to add to your ranged fire.

I like list two, but swap for MM. Missles are for dev squads.

Thx for the very helpful feedback . I see how much more useful the MMs are then the Missile Launchers.

Here are the adjusted lists:

List 1:

Master of the Forge
-Conversion Beamer

Librarian
-Terminator Armour
-Storm Shield
-Gate of Infinity
-Null Zone

3x Tactical Squad
-Plasma Cannon/Flamer/Rhino

2x Scouts (5 models)
-Heavy Bolters

Terminators(10 Models)
-Cyclone Launcher

4x Dreadnought
-MM

Whirlwind

-----------------------------------------------

List 2:

2x Chaplain
-Terminator Armour
-Storm Bolter

4x Tactical Squads
-MMs/Flamers/Rhinos

2x Assault Terminators

2x LR
-MM

Somebody needs to explain the potential of a LRC to me, as a Tac squad has more firepower.
The first list looks really fun to play, plus I can make myself an awesome Librarian.
