*If you don't have any more models to add to your list and are using upgrades to get to 1850 pts, this may not help...*

Take the lascannon off of the LRBT, you have to snap fire it if you also fire the main cannon so it's better used elsewhere, maybe on the Exterminator.

You also might want to drop some of the random upgrades - Vox casters (I never find them very useful tbh), Carapace armor, melta bombs, power fists, body guard, etc... You'd really be surprised how much all of that adds up to, and you can probably cram another whole squad and/or vehicle in your list this way.

Another tip is to give your tanks a singular purpose - The LRE with a lascannon, multi-meltas and a plasma cannon is definitely not sure who it wants to kill, and costs a ridiculous amount of points. Take away the lascannon, slap some plasma sponsons on it, and kill every 2+ save model on the board. Use your melta vets, vendetta, and heavy weapons teams (maybe swap for lascannons) to deal with enemy vehicles.

I do love fluffy lists so there's no problem with any characters, but with Guard I always feel like quantity over quality is better because your guys aren't particularly tough and most of your upgrades will be wasted on T3 5+ models.

Hope this helps!
