I'd suggest Duneriders for the Fulgurites. They'll be shot off the board if you try to footslog them. Also, I personally have found more than 4 Transuranic Arquebuses to be overkill (I either run 4 or 0 depending on the list.)

If you haven't bought all the models yet, I'd wait to see the stats on all the stuff we are getting in Engine War.

You also want to make the dragoons duneriders if you get them and electropriests as stygies 8 makes them considerably more survivable and has a good stat letting them charge reliably turn 1

Hi, I d also suggest to remove plasma from Vanguards, unless you are going to put them in deep strike. Or may be take transport (at least one) for them. Otherwise they ll die quickly and do nothing

Is it worth running vanguards at all? Should I stick to rangers?

Yeah, probably that will be the best decision. I dont actually like vanguards. But its you to decide.
