Hi, I'm going to a competitive highlander event sometime in the next few months. Any critique for this list would be appreciated!

Tourney rules:
Only one CAD is allowed
Highlander = no repeating units apart from troops (once you've got one of each troop choice). Infantry platoons count as one troops choice.
Besides this the tourney will be using the ETC rules.

HQ
CCS with MOO 80pts
Lord commissar with melta bombs 70pts (goes with conscript squad B)

Slotless
Commissar 25pts (goes with combined squad)
Primaris psyker 50pts (armed with force stave, goes with conscript squad A)
Priest 25pts (goes with conscript squad A)

Troops (2 platoons and a vet squad)
PCS with autocannon 41pts
PCS with autocannon 41pts
2 Combined squads with lascannons and bolters (commissar goes here) 142pts
Infantry squad with autocannon + bolter 61pts
Infantry squad with autocannon + bolter 61pts
Conscripts A - 50 men 150pts
Conscripts B - 50 men 150pts
Veteran squad with lascannon + bolter 81pts

Elites
Scion squad with 2 melta guns 90pts

Fast attack
Vendetta 170pts

Heavy support
3 wyverns 195pts
Earthshaker carriage 75pts


Tactics: Conscripts and their leaders march up the field to engage the enemy, while the rest of the army sits back and shoots. Vendetta and scions arrive to harass enemy armour and perhaps contest backfield objectives or get linebreaker. Psyker gets psychic shriek or invisibility if he's lucky...

Thoughts + questions:
Is the lord commissar an over-indulgence? I could drop him, break up the combined infantry squad and get something else.
Should I find something to ride in the vendetta?
Why do I have an open heavy support slot? This never happens!
Do you have any helpful advice?
