Hmmm...

2 Characters and a LRC in 1000pts...

Well, its not going to make you many friends, but it should work.

At least until the LRC gets popped and you lose a quarter of your points to one shot.

Actually almost 1/3 of my points with the upgrades :p

So much for not putting all your eggs in one basket...

The real problem I see with that is your Crusader is a Heavy Support so it's deploying first with the guys in it. Then your opponent can set up his entire army away from it or just in LOS to shoot it down. I'd at least try to make the troops somehow offensive so your opponent has multiple targets coming at him.

If you dropped the speeders and the heavy weapons on the troops then gave them vet sarges with PF's and rhino transports, your opponent has three transport threats speeding towards them rather than just one. Landspeeders are great, but they drop in one turn to a measly bolter. Maybe knock off a few points from the command squad (do they really need flamers when they're wiping out what they charge? It just gives your opponent the ability to remove closest models and cancel your charge) and turn those rhinos into razorbacks with lascannons...
