2000 Points Exactly!

I like the list, a real get up in their faces list, works well fluff wise too. All I can do to help is perhaps offer the counter army and let you decide if you think it's something that'snot really worth considering or maybe something you'd need to adapt to.

What I'd say might throw a wrench in the works is an elite heavy army that uses heavy transports and 2+ armour. There's not much in the way of long range anti tank, the vanquisher going to struggle to take say twin vindicators with land raiders holding termies, or maybe Ork Battlewagons carrying Mega Nobz, who'll probably hit you before your Meltas can properly deploy (remember assaults units on average in an assaults vehicle will make 19 inches, 6 from vehicle movement, 6 from disembarking and 7 for an average charge).

This stuff can be easily countered though by changing your other russes to something more anti armour, like more vanquishers or demolishers. You already have all the anti infantry with the shedloads of guardsmen, and while I'd definitely recommend keeping a few meltas, maybe kit some squads with other special weapons, just to give your army some flexibility.

So basically as units go you're golden, but just changing some load-outs to add a bit of flexibility in your guardsmen and give your russes some weapons that'll allow them to be more effective and not double up jobs with other units. Good Luck
