Hello People of Dakka I have come to request your aid in list building here is what I have so far

A company command with plasma x2 vox and medikit with carapace armor and plasma pistol on commander with chimera and camo netting

X3 teams of Vets 2 with lascannon Teams and meltas grenades launchers carapace armor 1 with heavy bolter heavy flamer and 2 flamers with carapace armor all have chimeras with camo nets I am wondering what to do with my last 160 points

Oh and these are allies for scions

Well, there are a few things to consider when you're making a mechanized list.
1. If you want any mobility whatsoever for your veteran squads, then drop the heavy weapons teams. They will only reduce your mobility.
2. Veterans have BS:4. Don't put that to waste with a bunch of template weapons. That being said, a single heavy flamer accompanying two melta guns can be a viable combination.
3. Although your play-style will be fairly aggressive, you still want to be able to keep your enemies out of charging range. Some squads with two plasmas each (or three if you're feeling frivolous) will keep MEQ and TEQ at bay.
4. Assign each unit a specific role. The melta squad should be sent to pop some tanks open. A couple of plasma squads should be tasked with scaring away enemy infantry.
5. Think about your numbers. Being outnumbered by a mob of hungry Space Wolves is not a good thing. More bodies=more wounds=more survivability.
I hope that this was helpful. There are a bunch of tips that others with more experience could give you.
