I have been building a list with a personal back story for an upcoming tournament Astronomi-con. There is a strict composition factor and I tried to stay at the perfect level. I am not a power gamer and simply want to have fun. That being said i don't want to have my a$$ handed to me every game. Here is a list I have created that could be fun and fluffy all at once. Let me know what you think and what changes could help.

Astra Militarum
HQ
CCS-standard, autocannon (I feel I need something more here)

Troops
PCS-4 flamers (ride in Vendetta)
IS-lascannon
IS-lascannon
IS-Lascannon
Commissar (mans quadgun)

Vets-Grenadiers, 3 plasma, chimera
Vets-Genadiers, 3 plasma (I feel they need a ride, maybe drop a IS)

Fast
Vendetta

Heavy
LR Executioner

Allied Ultramarines
HQ
Tigurius

Troops
5 Tac-combimelta, melta, drop pod

Heavy Thunderfire Cannon

Fortifications

ADL-quadgun

pros cons? Does it stand a chance. I want to keep it relatively fluffy and no Inqusition as I don't care for that style. Kind of want to get some grav centurions in here to go with tiggy. Maybe drop LR and thunderfire. But then they would be moving up with only the vets.
Or Go Ultramarine main and Guard ally. I have a wide range of models for each army.
Thanks

ye your right about giving your vets transport, do you need drop pod? drop it for upgrades on ccs and other stuff

A suicide melta squad without a pod is kinda pointless, don't you think?

I agree that you need that drop pod but i would drop the lascannons for autocannons because your going to waste all your lasgun shots shooting at something that you need s9 to glance or pen. and its only at bs 3.

Great comments so far, I will consider the auto cannons. I did think about them first actually. Maybe put a lascannon on the CCS and LR?

What people think about tigurus? He would boost the blob and vets but not much else. I could drop the commissar as I could join tiggy to the blob for ATSKNF
