I realize this list is 5 points over, however i play with a friendly little group so that's not a big deal.

i've toughened up the Valkyrie-riding CCS and veteran squad to potentially weather a round of fire from the 8 million space marine players i run up against in our group as they don't get
the luxury of a metal box,

All chimeras are equipped with heavy flamers

Demolisher

a possible sub for this list is a manticore instead of a demolisher to get it 1500 spot on, or a LRBT because those are never bad.
let me know what you think

I would drop carapace on all squads, it's just not worth it. Use the points to finish equipping your second CCS - a medipack or another plasma gun, and either give the cheaper valkyrie MRPs, or make it a vendetta.

Also, I think you want at least one melta unit in a valkyrie, for alpha-striking landraider and similar.

Opps, those plasma vets in the bird were actually supposed to be melta vets and the carapace on the ccs in the chimera is supposed to be a medkit,

i would normally agree with you on the carapace, however i am playing against pretty much only meq, so after dropping off my payload of melta and plasma my guys will be exposed to getting wiped out by a single round of bolter fire

the changed list looks like this
