Any help is much appreciated.

Ally up woot woot, but any way I would suggest throwing in some more chimeras 3 is on the weaker side.

I would give your melta gunners the Chimeras, not the Plasma gunners, they have less range and need to get up close, the plasmas, not so much.

As for objective grabbing, you should be fine.

I like it, it's a nice, "in your face army".

Also, give a squad a melta bomb, you have 5 points left over and it is SCREAMING melta bomb! Especially with an aggressive (by guard standards) army as this.

In my opinion, and I say this often, I don't agree with plasma guns on Guard, you could get 3 Chimeras for the amount you have.

For expanding to 2000pts give the rest of the vets chimeras for a start.

The two units of melta vets catch a ride in the vendettas, but I can change this to the plasma gunners if necessary.

:EDIT:

Have made a few changes, will post the revised list when I get home from work.

I would advise against using Vendettas as transports, especially for you melta vets. This is because, you get all of your AT on turn 3 or something. I would just be repeating myself if I waffled on about plasma guns again.

Another CCS with Plasma or melta could be nice. Cheaper than vets, who needs the extra guys anyways if they are in chimeras. Chimeras for everyone! Or more LRBT

Updated the build in the OP. Everybody barring my campers are mechanised, but the demolishers are now plain russes.
