This is what I am planning to bring to my first 1850 non-escalation tournament. I find it to have few holes. If there are any suggested changes, then I would love to read them.

I'd go white scars primary and IG allies. You get to keep the ordnance and vendetta etc but can put more bikes on the table rather than vets in chimeras. if you want that command squad in combat you need to swamp the enemy in bikes - still think though it's best as a shooty unit - quad grav gun or quad plasma.

Im sold on the IG prrimary detachment. I prefer Vets in Chimera to SM bikers. Suits my model availability better. What if I switch the power axe over to grav-guns for the whole command squad. If I am doing that, should I just take off the shields then? I could find places for those points.
