Not bad and easy to grow from ..

Heavy Flamer/Autocannon on the CS is a bit peculiar; if you drop the HFlamer you could take two plasma guns instead on one of the veteran squads; and likely accomplish a lot more.

What chimera loadouts are you using? I'd strongly suggest you build them in a way that the turret weapon at least is easily swapped (magnets are good for this), as your army grows you'll want some flexibility with them.

Wyvern is Love, but you'll find that they work best in 2+ as the second layer of blast templates make a big difference.

Otherwise, welcome the the Guard. It gets better.

Woohoo! More guard players!

You're off to a great start with that list. You'll like the flexibility of the Chimeras. Like others mentioned, the only thing I would change about the list at this point level is the heavy flamer/AC in the CCS. I'd swap those for something else like a lascannon or 2 plasma guns, depending on whether you plan to have the CCS sit back and stay out of trouble to deny your opponent slay the warlord.

List looks very solid!

In retrospect wish i had started with exactly this list.
