My local GW store is starting a new in-house league, quick custom missions 1250 points, one game every two weeks. As I haven't played a game in ages, I thought this would be a good way to brush some dust off the dice. I have two lists as follows, which do you think would perform better as an "all comers" list? Rules are no Lords of War, Formations are okay.

Vanguard: x10, Alpha, Omnispex, Arc Rifle

In a low points game, 4 robots will wreck just about anything and shrug off most firepower. However that list will have a hard time on objectives, which is where the DE list will shine.

Personally id go with the bots as you will just be able to shoot/kill most things off objectives.
