Meta is very varied, but SM/Tau/Eldar/Necron-heavy. Very good players with very good TAC lists in an upcoming tournament, so here goes. Points values are omitted because, well, you should have these codices.

Points: 710

Total: 1850


Tactica:
PCS embarks in Valkyrie, Veterans in a Vendetta for a backfield drop, Rune Priest joins the Lascannon Blob for hit rerolls, Each PA Wolfguard joins a Grey Hunter Pack who embark in a Rhino for a solid forward element. The rest of the guard blob sit backfield, taking Prescience casts along with Fire On My Target, popping their appropriate targets, while the Vendetta and Valkyrie draw fire and pop light-armour or drop blast templates, respectively.
Thoughts?

If you drop powerfist and plasma pistol in the CCS, you can bump one plasma/autocannon squad to Vets.

BS4 might work better CCS and usually just meat shields in CC

From what I've seen, Bodyguards are a waste in 6th. Auto pass LOS not really worth it on a squad that's going to take a beating. Don't spend too much on CCS.

If you're using Pask, why not use a Punisher instead? Just an inquiry really... I don't really like Vanquishers on paper... maybe you've had some success.

Dont put Terminator Armour on your Rune Priest. Don't Terminator-up the Wolf Guard. I've used them, they aren't worth it. If you had a squad of long fangs, I'd think about putting a CML WG in that squad, but otherwise they will die quickly and are a huge amount of points.

TLLC should probably be lasplas

I run a CCS as a more backfield unit, so the Bodyguard is just for a stray shot that might catch my officer.

Vanquishers, I agree, are pretty rubbish stock, but with BS4 they're quite reliable at popping anything heavy, even Land Raiders, and with Pask it becomes Str9 with 2d6 to pen, and +1 on Damage Table.

Noted, though understand I intend to mainly use them as a backfield Deep-strike deterrent.

I'd like to see some other thoughts on this, as this greatly forfeits ranged effectiveness.

Edited the list to reflect some criticisms.

Can't say I like the changes over my list, but we've argued that enough already. Glad you're pleased with the results.

Personally I think that a Deathwing detatchment would serve you better than expensive SW termies. Belial, 2 squads of hammernators with CML and an Apoth comes to 630pts and I think that they would do much better in your footguard.

Why isn't terminator armour worth it on an expensive character?

Just do not think the rest of their units do much for your list. I do like the rune priest.

The list could be more stream lined. Try vendettas. Leman russes will work better in pairs, and you have the spare heavy slot.
