I have no real comment on the Landspeeders, except that I'm curious to see how they perform. I guess if you kept them hidden on turns 1-3 they would serve as a decent horde deterrent, I've never tried it. I don't think they're good on a TAC competetive list, but I could be wrong. I'd at least change one over to MMs for tank busting.
Drop the Vindicator, wasted on Wolves in general, and a low armor list in particular. Most TAC Armies run one legitimate anti armor unit (I run four combi meltas in a pod, for example), and that Vindicator is an obvious target. It's going to die turn 1 in hte vast majority of your games. Add more Long Fangs.
And while you're correct that Lascannons are more effective than MLs, are they twice as effective? Because every LC is costing you almost two MLs. The only area where a LC really outperforms a ML is against AV14 and termies (and really, neither is an effective tool against av14). But, when you mass MLs, they become better than expected against termies (even more so with prescience). People forget about frag missles. With 5 frags and prescience, assuming 3 termies under a template (and it's more if they deep strike), that's 15 hits, 7.5 wounds, and 1-2 terminators dead (not ideal, but a lot better than people expect). The same cost in LCs would be three shots, 3 hits, 2-3 wounds, and 2 dead termies (three is possible, but unlikely). Then, if you factor in cover, the LCs numbers get worse, but the ML stay the same. If they have Stormshields, the LC gets worse, but the ML stays the same. In a competitive list, I run 13 MLs and 2 LCs.
