I would start to worry. Personally I'm trying out a hybrid list and I'll tell you how it goes odviously the deep strike defense is crutial and can play a huge role. The hydras and the manticores are good choices also. Along with the vendettas, but instead of using you vet squads as plasma wielders use your ccs as a plasma wielding squad with your 2 vet squads with meltas. This way if you want you could take advantage of having a med pack or carapace armor. Also get rid of the storm troopers. I know you think they are suicide are trying to save points and use the hot shot lasguns but having the vets there just gives them the possibility of becoming a scoring unit. Get rid of a pysker squad pump one up to 9 pyskers and then get some more troop choices in there. If your still skimping for points get rid of the autocannons and the heavy bolters on the vendetta they are unnecessary. Especially if you have meltas in the vet squads.
Thank you for posting, I appreciate all feedback. I would like it if you let me know how the hybrid list worked out. Let me try and explain how I see it.
Yes, 4 troops choices is quite low for such a high point based game, however, I feel having the two Plasma Vet squads and the two
IST's is the sweet spot between having not enough and just enough. The
IST's don't have to suicide first turn, and if they didn't that would make my Vendetta's scoring, which being a Fast Skimmer is awesome. The only real target I would throw my
IST's at no matter what would be a Raider, and at 1850, I'm not going to see dual Raider lists without seriously hampering the rest of the army. If I'm ever worried about my Troops being decimated early doors, reserve them every time. People forget that you only need 1 more objective than your opponent to win, all the others can be contested.
I looked at dropping 1
PBS and pumping the other but
Str 7 will be wounding T4 on a +2, and reducing Ld10 to 3. Having two that are seven strong is vital to my game plan, more boardwide threat.
CCS Melta is for home base defence. I don't plan on moving the
CCS up much, as when the Vets are on the board they won't be flying into enemy territory anytime soon. Pesky
MC's and Vehicles risk the wrath of 4
BiD Melta everytime they enter my deployment zone.

Troops are a little low for 1850, but I think good playing could keep that from being too much of a weakness.
I see this list as being ready for tournament play.
Thank you, I appreciate your comments. I'll let you know how I place.
