Feast of Blades Army List - What to do what to do?!


I am torn between several list.  I have had really good success with my all jump BA/SW combo posted below but I think some hot rolling on my part may have contributed to the 'size' of the win I had.  I also learned how dangerous it is for a single Assault Troop member to charge an inquisitor henchman squad with three melta guns!  Oops.


Below are two IG variants.  The top one is IG and GK that is a little more 'my style' with the dread knight that I can push in people's face.  Below is way more of a 'safe' choice where I can outgun almost any opponent.

If you are interested BOTH of these lists fit in an overhead compartment of plane and I've got one of these variants foamed up right now to prove it!

I know these are both very similar but I was trying to fill a couple of requirements here.  They both needed to work in what I understand as the current meta and they both had to fit in some sort of transport that I could take on a plane and not have to check. (and lists that I didn't have to paint a lot of new figures for, ha!)
