Lol, I love it.

A little excessive on the gunships, and I'm not sure of the quality of a power axe.

i wouldnt put grenadiers or carapace armour on those vets.... same goes for those CC weapons.... dont put too much fancy stuff in your suicide squad they will not make back those points...

IDK, 3 flames, a demo charge, shotgun fire, and a sub-decent charge might be kind of interesting.

Those vets will never make it to close combat if your opponent is even half-awake. That's an insane amount of points to dump on a squad that is partially kitted out for suicide.
Let's see... 70 base, 10 power axe, 20 heavy flamer, 10 flamers, 30 grenadiers, 30 demolitions... that's 170 points, 17 a model for guardsmen. I think you'd be better with a 20-man platoon with no upgrades to screen for your Tau, and a 4-melta PCS to drop out of the Vendetta. Or 4 flamers for the PCS and 2 meltas for the platoon.

But, honestly, taking Vets with flamers is just wasting their only real bonuses: multiple special weapons at BS4. And, assuming they're supposed to grav chute, using a PCS would be better in terms of the deep strike scatter. VERY easy to lose an entire squad using grav chute if it's bigger than 5-6 (PCS or Special Weapons Team).
