HQ:

The idea behind this list is the CCS stays behind the platoon and hits tanks and drops artty, the platoon basically makes a gunline and the PCS is counter charge. The chimera vets move forward to take objectives or pop transports and the tanks are meant to take on anything that needs to be taken down, but with the lascannons, mainly other tanks.

I stared building this list with Wargames Factory Shock Troopers and I'm going to buy Old Crow vehicals to replace chimeras and russ'. My main enemies are Chaos (khorn) and Grey Knights, so I'm facing lots of fast moving +3 and a few tanks (No land raiders that I know of). I just wanted some opinions on this list and if I should make any last minute changes.
Thanks!

If you are looking to have a competitive list...this is not it. For one, the CCS is sitting and shooting the LC, so the meltaguns are useless...next, put the PCS in a chimera or don't give them flamers...I suppose with orders the platooon troops are OK..I like the 2 vet squads..except I myself would give them meltas..I think the dual leman russes are a bit overkill at this point level...
Honestly I would drop the platoon altogether as (I've tried) they are not as effective as vets.
I would also add vendettas for transports and anti-tank....For example a more competitive list would be:
CCS: 2x meltaguns, chimera
2x Vet squads ~ demolitons, 3x melta guns
2x vendettas
Inf Platoon
PCS: 4 flamers, chimera
Inf Squad , chimera, grenade launcher
Inf Squad , chimera, grenade launcher

Well it's not competitive as I'm using non-GW models.

I'm open to new lists and ideas, but I feel the list you posted wouldn't be anywhere near as effective as my current list. I love vendettas, but twin russ' would likely survive far longer then they would. Only two meltas on the CCS? No... And the platoon set up wouldn't do much against chaos.

Now I do agree that I shouldn't go with flamers on the PCS or meltas on the CCS. So heres a reworked list.

Platoon:
PCS: 4x meltas -70

I think that list works better...I merely picked Vendettas for the mobility rather thank survivability. You and I obviously have different visions of guard and that is quite alright. I am just glad I could provide another insight to improve your list

Made a last minute change and I think this will be effective. (I had 5 points left over, so I slapped the melta bomb on the commander, I doubt it'd ever get used, but watch, I'd remove it and then need it. lol)

HQ:
CCS: plasma pistol, melta bomb, x4 melta, chimera -160

Vets, 3x plasma, chimera -170

Solid list. I foresee many victories!
