Looks good.
The CCS is a bit on its own without a Chimera (and it would be wasted in the vendetta)
As you don't have a lot of longrange fire power you need to be quite agressive with the army; which doesn't necessarily suit a full rhino/chimera line up - due to the pause when you get out. Maybe consider the spiky upgrade to the rhinos so that they can tank shock the turn after the marines get out (when they can not assault). You have lots of troops so you could consider cutting out one of the veterans for a LRBT, Havocs, couple of griffon mortars or something similar to plug the long range fire power gap and then you don't need to be so agressive with the rest of the force.

You do appear to be kitting out to fight marines, I'm just wondering if you need to diversify a bit to counter hordes better.

I presume you heldrake would have an Baleflamer?

The ccs sit in the vendetta and Im using them as a rapid response unit. The heldrake has a baleflamer. My anti horde is currently the heavy flamers in the chimeras and the baleflamer.

And yes, i am currently lacking a lot of 36"+ shooting. However, I want to keep both squads of veterans as they can take care of nasty targets, and score at the same time.

Any other suggestions?

My 1500pts of orks churn out 12 BS3 shots and 20 BS2 shots at 36" or more; so get within 24" pronto!
