Have a team tournament coming up and I'm gonna be the guard player. 2v2 style random partners, Grey Knights, Dark Angels, and Space Wolves are the armies I'll be playing with. This is what I plan on running so far. I will take any/all recommendations.

PCSs start in the vendettas.

You have 440 points in reserve that might not turn up till turn 4 (especially if your CCS gets vaporized - quite likely).

Quite a bit depends on what your ally is bringing. If he has some melee counter charge units I'd consider:
Punisher Pask with meltagun sponsons for an HQ + (Bolter Sponsons Eradicator / Naked Battle tank / Naked Demolisher)
Bastion with Coms Relay (more reliable for reserves)


1 Vendetta (since you seem to like them)
1 PCS with flamers
2 Guard Squad (how you had them is fine)

Veterns squad in chimera with plasmaguns (or put them in the bunker and add an escape hatch for suicidal disembarking - rapid fire)

Spend rest of points on wyverns

This gives you the ability to vaporize 1 target a turn with Pask, lots of troop killing (wyverns) and decent objective camping (bastion + 2 squads who can go to ground every time they are shot).

Officer of the fleet is too unreliable in my opinion. 60% chance to buff one reserve roll by +1 = meh. I'd get an astropath instead. Psychic shriek can often be the difference between a close call and a CCS shredded into little pieces. You will appreciate any of the other telepathy powers once/if your chimera gets busted.
