 Here is my current list
HQ1-Vulkan-190pts
HQ2-Librarian w/Terminator armor and SS
Quickening and Null zone-140pts
Troop1- 10 man Tac w/ ML and Meltagun
Razorback w/ TL plasma gun and Lascannon-250pts
Troop2- Same as above-250pts
Troop3- Same as above-250pts
Elite1- 5 Assault Terminators w/ TH and SS
LRC w/ MM-460pts
Fast Attack1- Landspeeder w/ MM and HF-70pts
Fast Attack2- same as above-70pts
Fast Attack3- same as above-70pts
The two HQ's and the terminators ride around together looking for things to crush. The tacs hold objectives or pray that they kill something and the speeders suicide themselves on whatever presents itself at the time. I have two questions for my fellow dakkites, What would you recommend to flush out the last 250 pts and do you have a preference of las/ plas over TL lascannons for the razorbacks.
Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.

I would put one Tac Squad in a Drop Pod and take 2 Dreads with MM/HF in pods as well. Otherwise a squad of Sternguard with Combi-meltas and Combi-flamers in a Rhino/DP with Vulkan is a good unit too.

Yes, go with preds. You need more long range fire power. This is a common mistake with Vulkan.
Actually maybe a few dev. squads to keep your combat squads company.

I like your older list better than the first. If devs weren't so over-costed I would second MFletch but as it is I think the Preds work in this list.

Go for lascannons for the tac squads and ML for the dev. squad and everything is about the right price. In fact it is cheap just look at the Dark Angel codex. Stop reading the Blood Angel and the space wolve codices.

Can't, my main army these days is SW since I had to sell my Salamanders over the summer to pay Uncle Sam...

Sorry to bring up painful memories. I think Longfangs are the best heavy support so you have been spoiled.

I couldn't agree more. Your suggestion of LC on the Tac and ML in the Devs is a good idea. Not something I ever tried but I can definitely see that load out working.
