I will be entering a tournament and have two lists I would like to try but would like opinions.

The game will be played on a 4x4 table, so not very large. There are ~12 people, 4 brackets of 3 people, winner of each bracket moves forward...losers are out. Opponents will include Tyranids, guard with many Chimeras, Space Wolves with vindis and Long fangs, chaos lash and some others (not sure about all).

My potential lists are as follows:

List 1 - Cassius List

Cassius 125 (special is T6, MC combi flamer with hellfire rounds, wound on 2+)

Tactical Squad 1 - 250
- 10 marines
- Missile Launcher, Melta Gun
- Razor Back w/ Las Cannon T/L Plasma guns

Tactical Squad 2 - 280
- Missile Launcher, Flamer
- Power Fist, Combi Melta
- Razor Back w/ Las Cannon T/L Plasma Guns

Vindicator - 115
Vindicator - 115
Vindicator - 115

Cassius will ride with marines with Melta Gun...In all missions but KP Tac Sqauds will Combat Squad - List is fairly versatile, I would say 8/10 for shooting and 5/10 for CC - fairly balanced


List 2 - Vulkan List

Vulkan 190 (all flamers and meltas are twin linked, T-hammers are Master crafted; very good in CC with MC relic Blade and H Flamer) Vulkan really supports the entire army

Iron Clad Dreadnough - 180
- Melta Gun
- Drop Pod

Terminator Assault Squad - 200
- Thunder Hammers and Storm Shields
(Sqaud will come in using teleport homer, provide support in front lines, can contest opponent's objectives)

Tactical Squad - 225
- 10 marines
- Multi Melta, Melta Gun
- Sgt w/ Teleport Homer
- Drop Pod
(Vulkan will ride with this group - drop in with Iron clad on first turn, blast any tank threats - like opponent's vindis - etc; will try and keep alive as long as possible to hold opponent's objectives)

Tactical Squad - 205
- 10 Marines
- Multi Melta, Flamer
- Drop Pod
(Squad will come in later to hold my objectives, likely will combat squad)

i should take youre list with cassius, i have take a look and i think that list is better.
3 vindicators are very usefull on a table of 4*4!
if you cannot choose by youre self, ask someone to play with the list of vulkan, play a battle and i think cassius will win

I like the Cassius list better, except that I would exchange him for a Librarian and use the point saveings to buy a Power Fist for the other Tactical Squad.

I support the Vulcan list, i love the fact that hes a force multiplier and very versitile himself.
I do think that 3x's Vindicators could be good though...
