I have a feeling this list would be too fragile, but I also think it might be ridiculously fun to play a couple times. 13 Melta Guns and a bunch of Demo Charges, for some fun Alpha Strike blasting. I think maybe it should go 6 Vendies and 3 Valks, but I like the idea of constantly speeding around firing off those MRLs every turn.. Large Blastastic, through weak against armor, which is why maybe should be 6 Vendies instead. Anyway, just posted for fun... Not my real list.
..Thanks to Razerous...

Please don't list basic gear, only when you have a choice or you buy something

Demolitions and melta-guns in the same squad is overkill. I would recommend a few veteran squads with 3x flamers. Flamers are fun, and cheap.

With regards to the list format, the list is a cut & paste from the output of Army Builder.

Bingo. PCS are the best use of Heavy Flamer/Flamers, while Vets just beg to have better weapons for that sweet BS4. Your anti-horde needs are met by Valkyries, usually. Hell, at 'Ard Boyz with a trio of Valks, I did roughly 40 wounds to a CSM squad. That is more than most things can handle - period. Imagine if it had been Boyz or something!

Right. If you do this you are less likely to get opinions because your list will be so annoying to read.

Looks good, 9 valks/vendettas would look pretty damned awesome on the field i can tell you. i will only be having 4 but 9 is something else !
As for the list its quite ok, althought you may benefit from 1 more veteran squad, just to get more men on the ground.

Yeah, I was thinking, if I dropped the Demolitions and HB HWT on the Vet Squads I could easily add a fourth Vet Squad with 3x/Melta
