Hi there, with the new codex out I've decided to breathe some new life into my old Imperial guard army. I've come up with the following "armoured fist" list, with lots of armoured vehicles supported by Vendetta's. The general plan is to use the Vanquishers for anti tank, the vendetta's for AA or anti tank and the chimera's, hellhounds and exterminators for anti-infantry duty.

The list so far:
HQ
- Tank Commander + Knight commander Pask upgrade
Leman Russ Vanquisher
Lascannon

Leman Russ Vanquisher
Lascannon

- 3360

Troops:

- Veterans
3 Meltaguns
Chimera
- 155

- Veterans
2 Plasmaguns
Chimera
- 155

- Veterans
2 Plasmaguns
Chimera
- 155

Fast Attack:

Hellhound
-125
Vendetta
-170
Vendetta
-170

Heavy support:
Leman russ exterminator
Heavy bolter sponsons
150
Leman russ exterminator
Heavy bolter sponsons
150

-1590 so far

The list so far would leave me at 1590 points, Im unsure where to invest the remaining points. Another Hellhound? More Russes? Or perhaps Commisars/priests for the vets?
I'd like to keep the troops choices in chimera's and the HQ mounted in a leman russ (of any type really). Other then that, everything is open for debate.
My other question is whether or the two vendetta's are enough for AA duty or should I get a hydra.

Thanks!
