I have been playing 40k for a long time, and am just starting to get into 30k. I bought a betrayal at calth box and am having a tough time finishing out the list. I want to stay fairly close to fluff, but there are spots where I deviate for fun and lolzy play. I can't decide if a 10 man missile launcher brick with an attached seige consul is a good decision, since it takes up an important heavy slot. I also can't decide whether to bring Contemptors or Rapier batteries. I have three lists below.

Any input/thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

List 2 with one of the quad mortars squirreled away into it's own 'elites' slot or exchanged for a couple of standard apothecaries in that same slot and maybe turn the contemptor dread into a 'contemptor-cortus' dread?
