What do you guys think?

Anyone?

You only have 3 ML as your anti-tank. Even at 750, you can see some AV 14 tanks, which leaves you with a few turns of praying for 6s on RL to even try and slow them down.

Also, while 4 scoring units is nice, having really strong units is nicer.

The typical suggestions you'll get from most players is as follows:

Drop a squad or two to turn those Rhinos into Razorbacks with T/L Lascannons, pay the 5 points for meltaguns over flamers.

However, if you're just playing against a bunch of horde armies (Orcs, Nids, etc.) then your list is solid as solid can be.

Just be wary of a Leman Russ tank or a Land Raider coming along. As against your army they'll most likely be up and slaying all game.

That's only 3 scoring units.
I would drop the wolf guard and take Razorbacks instead of Rhinos. I'm a fan of TL LC but I know a lot of people like the Las/Plas combo, which might be more effective against troops than the TL LC. Alternatively, you can take two LC and one HB 'back.
Also, you can shave points by dropping the banners. They probably won't help all that much at this point level. You can always build them and throw them in once you go up in points.
I would probably take at least one melta and at least one flamer. Pick whatever you prefer for the third unit.
Those are my thoughts.

Listing dyslexia added a squad to the list when I counted, good eye and good suggestions .
