hello forum dwellers! ive been struggling to find a mech BA list i have faith in and would like help please!

List 1

Librarian, 2 powers, probably unleash rage and shield

6 Assault squads
jump packs removed

razorbacks with assault cannons

2 baal preds
1 with cannon and bolters
1 with flamey flamey

3 vindis

1750 on the nose

thats 11 tanks!!! 28 strength 6 rending shots a turn and 3 str 10 templates

but it seems to have a serious lack of survivability in my eyes, everytime i lose a razorback thats a squad with no use :/

on the other hand i have list 2

libriarian, epilositary with might and sword

chaplain

sanguinary priest

5 death company with power weapons
in a land raider redeemer with a MMelta

10 man assault squad
in a land raider redeemer with a MMmelta

3 assault squads
in razorbacks with turrets

vindi

1740

this one uses death company to punch through hard and the assault squad to hold their obj's/ help the death company

the razorbacks roll around together adding fire support


so the questions are, which one is the scariest? what could improve either of them?

thanks to those who help!

Erm list 1 but only because I use something like it. I use double Honour Guard which gives more Razorback saturation and it's also 2,000 points

that is alot more razorbacks......


i did think about having sternguard in a razorback aswell....

Meh Sternguard a shooting unit which cannot shoot out of a transport.

They are armor 11 auto cannons just rip them apart same with missile launchers just rip them up try stormravens fire power mobility and a nasty payload.

The argument against a 55 point razorback is even moreso for a 200 point storm raven, considering the razorbacks can at least get cover fairly frequently.
The first list is a little more 'all comers' than the second list- I think if you dropped the bolter sponsons on the baal and gave a melta to your assault squads, you could give them a little more purpose in the even they lose their ride. With the vindicators, you may as well make both baals the same with assault cannons, I mean it would really suck to deviate onto your own tank and blow it up from 3 vindicators, yes? the ass cannon motivates keeping a bit better range
