Not bad, but needs tweeking. The following is if you wish to keep using Creed. If you take Creed away, it really changes the list IMO. I will assume your Outflanking the Vendetta Squadron with Tactical Genius.
HQs
CCS needs camo cloaks and should have a LC instead of a AC to make better use of BS 4. Don't waste that special weapon slot and either get a Banner for your troops or a plasma gun. Camp them behind the ADL.
Get a Lord Commissar with a Camo Cloak. Have him man your ADL gun and place your Heavy Weapon Squads within 6" of him to make use of his 'Aura of Discipline'. Remember, Creed can issue him Orders, so this might change your choice of ADL weapon. I like the Icarus because when you hit your probably penning (4+ pen vs AV 12) and killing zooming flyers (4+ wrecks a zooming flyer), but he can not get orders on the Intercept phase. Also remember that Skyfire along with intercept allow you to shoot at ground and air units using your full BS. I would drop a hellhound to pay for this.
Elites
I see no issues
Platoons
Both PCSs should be in the Vendettas and they should have either 4x Melta guns or 4x Flamers, depending on their role. Your other option is to put them into Chimeras and put a single PIS in each Vendetta or SWSs with melta or flamers. The PISs should be blobbed and have a Commissar and be within 12" of the CCS if it has a Banner. You can only re-roll a dice once, so the banner re-roll trumps the Commissar's execution re-roll. The PISs should all have special weapons (flamers or melta guns) and every sergeant should have a melta bomb for MC and vehicle defense. Upgrade the ML HWSs to LC HWSs. This is where your second hellhound goes away to pay for this.
Vets
The Forward Sentries do nothing for you because your in a Chimera, so you do not get a cover save nor do you give the Chimera a cover save. Do not mix and match special weapons, go all plasma or all melta guns. If your all Plasma, I would consider Grenadiers just for 'Get's Hot!' saves ('Gets Hot!' only allows armor and invuln saves) or if the Chimera explodes or Demolitions. But at this point, your better off saving the points. Maybe you will actually be able to keep your hellhounds, or maybe 1 of them.
Fast
Vendettas are good and needed, Hellhounds are a luxury. These are on the chopping block to try to pay for upgrades.
Heavy
A lone Leman Russ is not a big threat. As you could probably tell from facing Tau, 5 vehicles probably did not last very long. You will either need to get more and upgrade them to Executioners or Demolishers which is really, really expensive or drop them from the list and get a Manticore or Colossus.
To be honest... you may want to drop all vehicles not called a Vendetta and go all gunline. Look at getting more Vendettas, drop the Chimeras from your vets and then the Forward Sentries are great. Add a Lascannon to them and just blast away on your flanks in cover. Place the HWSs and the Platoons behind the ADL and blast away. Having a more focused list means you can bring more to the table for what your doing, instead of splitting up your force to make a hybrid list. If you want to go the other way, ditch Creed and do Chimera spam with LRBTs.
Hope this helps, good luck!
