I'd say drop the vox's, I've never found they've earned their cost and prefer other upgrades to them.

The Grenadiers on the vets I'm not sure about because of their loadout. Snipers and a lascannon puts them in the backfield not moving up under fire so maybe Forward Sentries is better since it gives them +1 Cover Save for 5 points less instead of the +1 Armour.

Not important but figured Id point it out. The Formation probably wont get to make much use of the moves through cover granted by the sentinel since there's only 1 it'll get hit pretty early on in all likelyhood, but Fire and Advance is the better aspect of the formation anyhow.
