How come you have decided to footslog 3 storm trooper squads when it appears you are going for a mech list?

Probably he's going to deep strike them.

It looks like every other mech vet list only with storm troopers. Not a great deal to say really, I guess you've made half your meltaguns a lot more mobile by giving them to stormies. I would take an astropath however as usually the sooner they come in the better. Maybe give one squad a chimera as well, it can come in handy. If you give them that one scout mission, they have a first turn alpha melta reach of around 30" - useful to deter forward deploying land raiders, or catch one by surprise as not everyone knows about this.

I'd like to hear how it fares in the tourney as storm troopers are a personal favourite.

Yeah, drop the PP from the CCS and the plasma guns to melta guns to get a Astropath. I only suggest a Astropath if your consistantly going to bring in 3+ units from reserve.

I do hope your not going to put the STs in the Vendettas, as 2 out of the 3 ST 'Special Operations' would be wasted and not usable as options because the Vendetta is not a dedicated transport. I take that back, you can use Recon and Airbourne Assault if you do Grav Chute Insertion as it reads "deploy the sqaud as if it were deep striking onto that point'." I suppose it gives you a re-roll since the squad is lost on a bad roll, but this is still risky. Your still better using normal 'Airbourne Assault' to DS the STs normally IMO.

Make sure your Chimeras have hull heavy flamers.

Yeah don't put stormies in the vendettas, that would be super stupid.
