I want to run a 1500 pts list with a ccs ( 4x plasma), 4x mixed plasma & melta vets, a vendetta, a vanquisher and a executioner but i got a couple of points spare.
Would you rather take Marbo for gak & giggles or would you upgrade the vanquisher with Pask?

Pask, especially if youre using a vanquisher

Hmmm...that's a tough one...

Try going with Pask first. If he doesn't meet your fancy, try Marbo.

Marbo is an awesome choice but its pretty much a one trick pony. Drop demo charge then try to assault tanks, weaker squads, or hide for line breaker, but usually after he drops his demo charge hes dead. I would probably go the pask route and buff the vanquisher.

Pask.

Marbo is the hunter-killer of the large blast world. Ho hum. The only thing he REALLY does well is get linebreaker for you.

Pask, on the other hand, starts doing his dirty work turn 1, and likely will keep doing it for several more turns, thanks to the AV14. Most of the times I ran him, his tank was still on the table at the end of the game. Plus, he also makes those hull weapons BS4 and the other goodies as well. Pask in a vanquisher with a lascannon and plasma cannons has an awful lot to say to a pretty wide range of pretty tough targets.

I would say marbo but I'm a gambler. Be prepared to have games where marbo doesn't do squat besides soak one turn of shooting from one unit. Other games good 'ol 65 point marbo will kill 200+ points of terminators.

Overall I think he is well worth his points if taken on average. But consistant he is not.
