I like the second one much better. Thats very similar to how I would want to do a drop pod list.

2nd one is better, sort of.

Drop pod lists are not as all comer as other marine lists can be ... you go up against a melta + bullet spam heavy guard list, for instance, and there's no reliable way to get your mission completed. A bunch of meltaguns are gonna pound your dreds right off the bat from inside chimeras, or from the ruins of the chimeras you blow up (woop dee do) when you land. Meanwhile, all kinds of bullets are going your marines' way ... and that's how marines die.

BUUUUUT, I just don't like drop pod lists, personally, so that's just me talkin'. I think the 2nd list is definitely stronger ... and scary as balls to the wrong opponents, who'll kinda just go "I don't have enough answers for ironclads ... uwin."
