Is this list so bad it won't even be fun?

I'm beginning a guard army for fun friendly games and I was wondering what you all thought of this.
My games are very friendly. For example tonight I played against eldar with scorpions and D-cannon platforms.

So is this just too much of a mess or might it actually give some fun games?

Thanks

Friendly is what you make of it. Obviously whether you have a good game or not depends on your opponent's attitude and how competitive their army/tactics are as well as your own.

I think there are some changes you could make to preserve the look of the army and make it more competitive. Currently you lack any way to kill vehicles effectively (the vanq. squadron can only target one vehicle a turn) Why not replace the ratlings with squads of 5 stormtroopers w/2 meltaguns? These units fill a hole in your list - they could be modelled as the guards set to control the penal troopers, and if you're worried about being considered over-compettive, don't worry, they're a long way from that!

I would also consider only taking one HQ, giving the rough riders some meltaguns, and fielding different leman russes. How about 2 LRBTs (squadron) and 2 demolishers (seperate)? Vanquishers seem a bit poor, honestly. The one thing I can say they have going for them is that they're your only long-range anti-vehicle unit. Would you consider Hydras instead?

In our friendly games we usually take fun lists, and then really try to win with them. So I don't want to be a pushover. That's no fun for my opponent.

I tried to pick models that had very little in common with my space marine army, which meant avoiding deep striking melta. Also, hydras are awesome but I run 3 dreads with TL autocannons a lot so I didn't want more of that.

Melta in the rough riders is hard to argue with.

But the BattleCannon is Ordnance which makes it pretty good anti-vehicle, and with BS3 everywhere in a guard army I feel like scatter is probably just as risky as direct fire, but I'm used to BS 4...

Less roughriders, lost the HQ like you said, added melta and a basilisk

Looks like it'll be loads of fun to play! For a friendly game it should be loads of fun to run big swarms of penal troops, Yarrick is fun to mess around with, and Rough Riders add some variety... and I feel sorry for anything that gets in the way of those Vanquishers.
