Tell me whay you think of this list!

Im low on troops but the plan is to suprise the enemy with the russes, blast the infatry too pieces and then let the vendettas with veterans inside them take out any tanks or transports.
The HQ will act as babysitter for the tanks camping at the back and melting/burning deepstrikers who comes close.
Then the veterans will jump out, try to kill survivors near objectives and then take them.

I would probably add in some of special weapons to the vet squads, as they'll be sky diving out of the vendettas so I would take one squad with 3 flamers and demolitions to get the demo charge (good for clearing objectives) and one squad with 3 plasma guns and demolitions (can clear objectives and kill space marines, and some vehicles from the rear).

If your veterans attack one flank of your enemy then your russes can pound the other one to next week with all the blast templates.

I also find that two 5 man storm trooper squads with your choice of wargear can be effective as they are generally ignored they can claim line breaker.

You should never mix anti-tank and anti-hordes weapons in one squad -- it makes it less effective against anything. And of course you need not to waste vet's BS4 -- give them melta- or plasmaguns.

Besides the fact that the vets are not properly outfitted, the biggest problem I see with the list is the lack of troop choices. You've got 2 very kill able vet squads in vendettas which can be intercepted. A smart player will focus fire on your only 2 scoring units and you will lose. Leman russes and vendettas are nice, but at this point level, you are better off accommodating those points into infantry and vets.

@AstraVad it's a worthwhile mix as three plasmas rapid firing can kill most things squads can't such as terminators. The demo charge is purely providing a troops choice with a large blast.

I do agree with Chootum that more troop choices should be added.

I would vote to drop one of the russes for more troops choices, Possibly 2 russes.

I knoe that im low on troops but if i drop a leman for more vets it would soon be a generic guard vet list.
The last games i played with this list i wiped the enemy with almost no casualties.

Its for a 1000 p tournament with a table half the size of a normal game.
