I'm trying to decide on a list before heading to my
FLGS to pick up the last few units I need, but I'm stuck between two list ideas. I have most of my army bought and built already: 2 units of 10 rubrics, 5
SOT, 10 tzaangors and a shaman, some enlightened, a mutalith, chaos spawn, a forgefiend and a few sorcerers. Both lists fill out some of these units or add something the army needs like anti-tank. My local meta isn't super competitive so I'm trying to keep the list somewhat fluffy while still being able to win games.

For list 1 the game plan is for one ten man squad of rubrics to sit back with the forgefiend and helbrute to form a firebase with the exalted sorcerer on foot supporting with prescience and healing and allowing everything to re-roll 1s to hit. The second rubric squad waits in the webway to deepstrike in with the terminators and termi-sorcerer and apply pressure. The tzaangor squad gets teleported with the dark matter crystal for a turn 1 or 2 charge. My warlord stays with the enlightened and shaman and orbits the battlefield picking off key targets with mortal wounds or stripping invulns off big nasty things while giving the enlightened reroll 1s to make the most of their greatbows. Finally the mutalith and spawn push up a flank to apply pressure and draw fire, potentially becoming a real nuisance if ignored. If I go with this list I'd just need a few tzaangors and a helbrute to be done.
The idea for list 2 is pretty much the same but replaces the backfield rubric squad with cultists. This gives me better screening for my firebase and also opens up some points to bump the tzaangors up to 30 strong as well as swap out the helbrute for a hellforged contemptor. I know the contemptor probably isnt the best choice due to being a walking nuke for psykers, but I have an osiron dreadnaught unassembled that I got for cheap and I really like the model. If I go with this list I'd need to pick up some cultists (most likely convert some arcanist kabalites) and 2 boxes of tzaangors.
Let me know what you think, any C&C is greatly appreciated!
