Melta on the CCS seems an odd choice, since getting them in range for it means putting them at risk and giving your opponent a VP.
You only have two units who can deal with AV14, the CCS and the Vendetta. It may not be a big issue at 1k points, but I'd count it a weak point.
You may or may not run into trouble with horde armies. Making nearly the whole army Veterans gives you far fewer shots and, outside of the Valkyrie, no pie plates.
A lot of it will depend on your local meta. If you're up against lots of MEQ, this will do wonders. If it's mixed, you'll have some tough match-ups in there.

I would drop the meltas in the ccs and swap it with a heavy weapon of some sort to take advantage of the BS4.
Also I'd give two of the vets meltas over plasmas, so you have antitank and meltas can still make smouldering piles of slag out of heavy infantry.

Also, vets with 3 plasma and a chimera are 170 points.

Id swap the Valkyrie for another Vendetta. Swap a few vets to melta possibly with demo and drop a chimera so they can ride in the Vendettas.
Then Id try to get a Manticore if you have any hordes you could run into.

This is what I think you should do. Swap the meltas on the CCS for plasma. Swap one or two vet squads of plasma for melta. Swap the valk for a manticore (you will have the extra points from swapping some of those plasmas for meltas).
Reasoning:
Manticore is a multi role unit. Can annihilate hordes and can also threaten high armor tanks.
As stated before the CCS would need to get close with meltas and you risk giving the other player slay the warlord.
You need more anti tank so meltas on vets are a good idea.
