So have a tourny next month that I am need to sort a list out for and start to praitice with.

I want a first turn carnage list, so thats 3 furioso dreads podding in first turn, plus I want DC in a pod, and assault marines in a pod to get to the even pod number (3 first turn 2 second turn)

Right first list is

Reclusiarch (in DC drop pod)
Furioso dread with blood fists heavy flamer and melta gun search lights magna grapple in drop pod with locater beacon (for tank busting and MC killing)
Furioso dread with blood talons heavy flamer and melta gun search light magna grapple in drop pod with locater beacon (mainly infantry killing but with added anti tank)
Furioso dread with blood talons heavy flamer and melta gun search light in drop pod (infantry killing)

Troops
5 scouts with camo cloaks and snipers (for sitting on objectives)
9 death company with bolters in drop pod (infantry killing, rapid fire bolters then charging:? please.... plus still have 2 attacks as base and enough attacks on charge to take out most squads)
10 assault marines with 2 melta guns in drop pod
10 assault marines with 2 flamers
10 assault marines with 2 meltas
dreadnought with autocannon each arm (anti flyers anti FMC, purely with the amount of dice and TL, but mainly will be focused on anti horde)
dreadnought with autocannon each arm (anti flyers anti FMC, purely with the amount of dice and TL, but mainly will be focused on anti horde)

I would be able to start with either the scouts dakka dakka dreads and 2 assault marine squads on the board, or just the scouts and dakka dakka dreads on the board and have the assault marines DOA down on turn 2, either near the pods with locator beacons or using the 1d6 scatter


List 2


Reclusiarch (in DC drop pod)
Furioso dread with blood fists heavy flamer and melta gun search lights magna grapple in drop pod with locater beacon (for tank busting and MC killing)
Furioso dread with blood talons heavy flamer and melta gun search light magna grapple in drop pod with locater beacon (mainly infantry killing but with added anti tank)
Furioso dread with blood talons heavy flamer and melta gun search light in drop pod with locator beacon (infantry killing)

9 death company with bolters in drop pod (infantry killing, rapid fire bolters then charging:? please.... plus still have 2 attacks as base and enough attacks on charge to take out most squads)
10 assault marines with 2 melta guns in drop pod
10 assault marines with 2 flamers
10 assault marines with 2 meltas

FA
5 vanguard vets as standard
5 vanguard vets as standard

This list I would have to start with 2 assault marines on the board but the vanguards can assault the turn they DOA in, again either where is needed or near the locator beacons

List 3
Reclusiarch (in DC drop pod)
Furioso dread with blood fists heavy flamer and melta gun search lights magna grapple in drop pod with locater beacon (for tank busting and MC killing)
Furioso dread with blood talons heavy flamer and melta gun search light magna grapple in drop pod with locater beacon (mainly infantry killing but with added anti tank)
Furioso dread with blood talons heavy flamer and melta gun search light in drop pod with locator beacon (infantry killing)

9 death company with bolters in drop pod (infantry killing, rapid fire bolters then charging:? please.... plus still have 2 attacks as base and enough attacks on charge to take out most squads)

10 assault marines with 2 melta guns in drop pod
10 assault marines with 2 flamers
10 assault marines with 2 meltas
10 assault marines with 2 plasma pistols

2 attack bikes with MM

This I would have to start with 1 assault marine squad and the attack bikers on the board, with the other 2 assault marine squads can either be started or DOA in again near the locators or where is needed

What do you guys think I should take?

What do you guys think I should take? The advantages of having 3 furioso dreads coming in is to scare the opponent, having three of those pod into your deployment on turn one should do enough to make them think WTF!, they have done with just one podding in, the assault marines give me a very mobile scoring choice and I have quite a few troops in every list, have some low AP weapons with the meltas maga grapple and blood fists on the one dread, I have enough models to do either of these lists but need to start painting them up very soon!
