So, I have a 1,000 point tournament coming up in my FLGS. I will be running Raven Guard successors with bolter fusillades (re-roll 1s to hit for bolter weapons) and whirlwind of rage (natural 6s generate extra hit in melee).I have two lists in mind, and would love some feedback on them.

List one

Warlord: Primaris Lieutenant (Indomitus), storm shield, neo-volkite pistol, the Burning Blade, Master of Ambush, Imperium’s sword
Second HQ choice: Chaplain (Master of sanctity, Jump Pack, Wise Orator), Litany of Hate, Canticle of Hate, Exhortation of Rage

Troops
Intercessor squad with auto-bolt rifles
Tactical squad with grav cannon and amp, sergeant with storm bolter and chain sword

Elites
5 x bolt storm aggressors
5 x vanguard veterans with twin lightning claws all around

Fast attack
Landspeeder with multi-melta

Heavy Support
3 x Eradicators

How I plan to use this list

The plan with this list is to use the jump chaplain to buff the vanguard veterans with the re-roll hits, +1 to wound and bonus to charge. Meanwhile the Master of Ambush Lieutenant will get position the Aggressors to get up in the face of the enemy early on. As I have bolter fusillades as one of my successor chapter traits, this means the squad will be re-rolling 1s to hit and wound with the bolters and re-rolling 1s to wound with the fragstorm grenade launchers in the shooting phase. In the melee phase whirlwind of rage will generate additional hits, and there will still be a re-rolls of 1s to wound.

The tactical squad will sit on the objective closest to (or in) my deployment zone, the intercessors can move forward to take one. Landspeeder will zoom around where needed. Eradicators will strike from the shadows at whatever needs to die.

List two
Warlord: Lieutenant with combi-plasma, the Burning Blade, Master of Ambush, Imperium’s sword
Second HQ choice: Chaplain (Master of sanctity, Jump Pack, Wise Orator), Litany of Hate, Canticle of Hate, Exhortation of Rage

Troops
Intercessor squad with auto-bolt rifles
Tactical squad with grav cannon and amp, sergeant with storm bolter and chain sword

Elites
5 x terminators, 1 with cyclone missile launcher, 4x chain fists, power sword on the sergeant.
5 x vanguard veterans with twin lightning claws all around

Heavy Support
4 x Eradicators

How I plan to use this list

As with the first list, the main plan with this list is to use the jump chaplain to buff the vanguard veterans as noted above, and to use the Lieutenant and MOA to get the Terminators up in the face of the enemy early on.
Troops will do the same thing as the first list. Difference is no landspeeder: 4 eradicators instead, which will strike from the shadows, probably just behind the Terminators to really create forward-in-your-face pressure.

So would love some feedback on these lists. I am aiming for a good TAC-list. My local meta has marines (duh!), but also lots of Admech, Sisters, and Nidzillaa lists.
