im taking a shot in the dark and posting this hear since its a wip army list, ok im facing an assult on the black reach ork force, with some gretchins, i thought of using my chaos guy but it felt like i was feilding too little for too much, so i looked at my guard options again, the type of game i think is going to be straight up annailation rules, or whatever game it is you kill your emey's guys bfore they kill you.
since my orginal list was debunked, and had holes put into it, i came up with this

HQ
CCS-- 60pt
with vox, and 5pt weapon

troops choices

vet squad 1-- 90pt
auto cannon, vox caster, and 5pt weapon

vet squad 2-- 90pt
auto cannon, vox caster, and 5pt weapon

vet squad 3-- 90pt
auto cannon, vox caster, and 5pt weapon

heavy support
leman russ exterminator with bolter side sponsers-- 170pt

or i can replace the russ with 3 chimeras, and squeeze another small weapon in witch would equal 170

Now this is just what i came up with, the rules of the games are what i said earlier, and i dont know what type of 5pt weapons to use, whats more effectife snpier or grende launcher, and im not really sure if the vets can benifet from first rank fire second rank fire, basicly this is a shot in the dark, if i posted in the wrong place im terribly sorry, and sorry if its not clear

I would probably suggest switching up the wargear on the units. CCS is awesome with 4xspecial weapons, and the vets are good with 3xspecials. Not a huge fan of grenade launchers or snipers, stick with melta or plasma. I would also advise giving all the units chimeras, as the added mobility greatly increases your chances of survival. Heres a list I would run at 500pts

HQ
CCS - 4xplasma, PP, chimera w. ML/HF
(155)

Troops
Vet Squad - shotguns, 3xmelta, PP, chimera w. ML/HF
(165)

Vet Squad - 3xplasma, PP, chimera w. ML/HF
(180)

Total 500pts on the dot.

You have fewer guys but you can easily stay out of assault with the orks using the chimeras mobility. They also won't last long if you get a couple good shots in with the hull heavy flamers

The CCS is usually used as a small special operations team. I'd give them Plasma or Melta guns, and send them after something tough.

These squads are pretty immobile if they are going to all fire a single autocannon. I'd consider switching to Melta, or Plasma for at least one of the squads.

I think this is out of place in this small a game. I'd use 2 chimeras and have the command and a vet squad with plenty of special weapons ride in them.
