Hi everyone. So I have two lists.
First thing to mention is these lists aren't build to be competitives, since I have to limit myself to what I'll get and WYSIWYG.
Secondly, lets look at what I got to make a list :

-Space Marines Strike Force (link to contents : http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440270a&prodId=prod2220002a)
-A rhino
-Two drop pods
-A devastator Squad (link for avaible weapons : http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat440276a&prodId=prod1060104)

So here's the Iron Hands list I have designed with that :

Iron Hands
Captain : Artificier Armour, Teeth of Terra
Total: 145

Command Squad : Plasma Gun x3, Grav Gun x2
Razorback : Twin-Linked Lascannon
Total: 250

Tactical Squad x10 : Meltagun, Lascannon, melta bombs
Rhino
Total: 210

Tactical Squad x10 : Meltagun, Lascannon, melta bombs
Rhino
Total: 210

Scout Squad x5 : Camo cloacks, Sniper Riflex4, Heavy Bolter
Total: 77

Dreadnought : Venerable
Drop Pod
Total: 160

Dreadnought : Venerable
Drop Pod
Total: 160

Assault Squad : Flamer x2, Power Weapon, Melta bombs
Total: 115

Devastator Squad : Missile Launcher +Flakk x4
Total: 170

Total: 1497/1500

Now here's the Black Templar one :

Black Templars
Captain : Artificier Armour, Teeth of Terra,
Total: 145

Command Squad : Grav Gun x2, Apothecary
Razorback : Twin-Linked Lascannon
Total: 220

Crusader Squad x5 : Sword Brother, Power Weapon, Meltagun, Lascannon,
Rhino
Total: 160

Crusader Squad x5 : Sword Brother, Power Weapon, Meltagun, Lascannon,
Rhino
Total: 160

Crusader Squad x5 : Sword Brother, Power Fist, Flamer, Heavy Bolter
Drop Pod
Total: 155

Crusader Squad x5 : Sword Brother, Power Fist, Heavy Bolter
Drop Pod
Total: 150

Crusader Squad : Sword Brother, Power Weapon x1, BP/CS x4
Drop Pod
Total: 130

Dreadnought : Venerable
Total: 125

Dreadnought : Venerable
Total: 125

Devastator Squad : Missile Launcher x4
Total: 130

Total: 1500

So which in your opinion should I take and why ? If you don't really have any advices, or don't know what to say, please just let a vote to help me make a decision, and I'll figure the rest myself.
Thank you for your time and (hopefully) your help.

I like the Black Templar list as it has a lot of MSU highly mobile units for all of these objective games (5/6). You can even drop pod near the relic and grab it on turn one. It's great!

You're probably going to need one or two Black Templar Upgrade Kits (with shoulders, tabbards and close combat weapons).

I suggest making sure that you define which squad is CC-oriented and which is shooting oriented.

For instance, have one of your drop pod squads carry a meltagun and multi melta to pop some vehicles on turn 1 (although the heavy melta will be snap firing) and if they stay alive you can wreck havoc in the enemy's backfield vehicles.

Another squad could have the flamer, and no heavy weapon. This allows them to move, shoot, and assault in the same turn.

So basically for your shooty squads keep the bolters and for the close combat squads replace with BP/CCW.
