Hey,

For Veterans give them Plasma or Melta. They have BS4 for a reason and Grenades / Flamers are template weapons so thats a waste of the 4 BS.

Dont give you CCS and Sergeants Power Fist, they need to stay in the Chimera and there isnt any use for it in a chimera.

Dont run Squadrons. So split the Vendettas and the Leman Russ. Drop the Basillisk and take a Leman Russ (Battlecannon) or a Manticore.

Not sure how many points power fists are because I dont have the codex infront of me but I am pretty sure there 25 and that is a huge waster of points IMHO for strength 6 attack. Take power swords instead.

Powerfist are only 5 more points than a power weapon for IG. So since you will be swinging last anyways the points are worth it imho.

The vet loadout needs some help. Drop the heavy flamer in favor of a regular flamer, and you've got the points to upgrade that vet squad with grenade launchers to a vet squad with meltaguns.

Also, putting a power fist on a CCS that is otherwise equipped with plasma doesnt' make a lot of sense. Either drop the plasmas down to meltas (and use the spare points for some vehicle upgrades), or drop the fist.
