Hey all, I've posted this over at the Bolter and Chainsword, but I figured I'd post here as well to get some more opinions on my list.

So I'm entering a double tourny in a few weeks with a buddy of mine. He's running Guard and I'm going to run Dark Angels. He's going to take the role of anti-infantry with roughly 40 guardsmen on the table and a Leman Russ to draw some fire away from my army which is going to play the anti-tank role. Here's what I'm thinking of running, please let me know what you think:

HQ:
Company Master w/storm bolter

Troop:
5 man Tact w/meltagun
-rhino
5 man tact w/meltagun
-rhino

Heavy:
Vindicator

500 even...

The basic plan is to run the two rhinos across the board as quickly as possible. I'll fire the meltaguns out of the hatch if I need to. I'm going to attach the Master to one of the two squads and just kind of have him hang out. The vindicator is going to cruise along with one of the two rhinos I think and draw fire. Does this seem pretty solid for anti-tank, and does it seem survivable at the 1000 point level knowing that I'll have meat shields... I mean Guardsmen backing me up?
