I have a competitive tournament this weekend so I'm dusting my guardsmen off to try out the new codex in a competitive environment (there will be plenty of Tau, 'Crons, DE & Eldar there for sure!). I'm caught between 2 lists I put together & could do with some feedback to help nudge me towards one... (Or any combination of the 2..)

LIST 1

[HQ]

Tank Commander <475>
- LR Vanquisher with Lascannon
- Leman Russ (x2)

[TROOPS]

Platoon Command Squad with Mortar, Vox, Chimera <105>
- Infantry Squad with Lascannon, Priest <95>
- Infantry Squad with Lascannon, Tech Priest <110>
- Infantry Squad with Lascannon, Vox <75>
- Infantry Squad with Lascannon <70>
- Special Weapon Squad with 3x Flamers <45> - In Vendetta
- Special Weapon Squad with 3x Flamers <45> - In Vendetta

Aegis Defence Line with Quad Cannon <100>

Veterans with Heavy Flamer <70> - In Valkyrie
Veterans with Heavy Flamer <70> - In Valkyrie

[FAST ATTACK]

Vendetta <170>
Vendetta <170>
Valkyrie Assault Squadron (x2) <250>

TOTAL = 1850

I feel there's a nice synergy to this list with mobility & dual threats;

AT = Vanquisher, Squad Lascannons.
AA = Quad Cannon, Vendettas
AH = SWS & Veteran Flamers, Lasguns, Battle Cannons, Multi-Lasers

LIST 2

[HQ]

Tank Commander <320>
- LR Punisher
- Leman Russ

Company Command Squad with Flamer, Master of Ordnance, Primaris Psyker, Chimera <200>

[TROOPS]

Platoon Command Squad with Flamer <35>
- Infantry Squad with Lascannon, Priest <95>
- Infantry Squad with Lascannon <70>
- Infantry Squad with Plasmagun, Autocannon <75>
- Infantry Squad with Plasmagun, Autocannon <75>
- Special Weapon Squad with 3x Meltaguns <60> - In Vendetta

Platoon Command Squad with Flamer <35>
- Infantry Squad with Lascannon, Priest <95>
- Infantry Squad with Lascannon <70>
- Infantry Squad with Plasmagun, Autocannon <75>
- Infantry Squad with Plasmagun, Autocannon <75>

Aegis Defence Line with Quad Cannon <100>

[FAST ATTACK]

Vendetta <170>

[HEAVY SUPPORT]

Wyvern Battery (x2) <130>
Manticore <170>

TOTAL = 1850

More traditional balanced "gun line" list with significantly less mobility, increased force multipliers (CCS, Priests & Divination Psyker) with multiple threats;

AT = Squad Lascannons, SWS Meltaguns, Vendetta, Manticore
AA = Quad Cannon, Vendetta
AH = Manticore, Squad Autocannons, Lasguns, Punisher, Battle Cannon, Wyverns, MoO

Over to you.. Feedback & suggestions will genuinely be appreciated!!

A 33 point inquisitor (Inquisition Supplement) with 3 servo skulls would work in both lists... They are (allied) formations but don't count as allied detachments... Mind you it might not be allowed in your event so you could ask a TO...
