Hey guys,

I've been playing around with full Gladius after fining a hybrid demi-company wasn't quite cutting the mustard.
I have two potentiality lists so please rip them apart and let me know which you think is stronger
Both follow a similar Alpha strike theme while being able to deal with death stars and hordes, I'm weak to knights but no idea how to mitigate that. Scouts camp on objectives or troll my opponent.

LIST A
Battle company White scars
Khan
Chaplin, Hunters eye

Tactical Squad X5, Grav-canon, Rhino

Suppression force

CAD white scars
Techmarine
Scout squad X5, Landspeeder storm
Scout squad X5
Drop pod

Culexus Assassin

I'm leaning towards list A due to more bodies on the table and quad mortars having a 2+ cover save turn one while being more flexible than Whirlwinds

Thanks

I don't understand why you have a CAD in your list other than a pod for your Culexus which is going away anyways, if you are worried about Knights take 4 Grav Cannons and a Cataphractii terminator captain to join them with Hunters eye in a pod. You say it's a Alpha strike list but no pods both the Assault Squads should be in pods, because they are annoying and pods are equally annoying with objective secure.

Scouts are way more obnoxious than the suppression force. Give them CCWs and BPs with a melta bomb.

Just my 2 cents from a competitive stand point.
