This is my first attempt at a list, I'm trying to take all the elements I hate about playing against guard and jamming them into a single 1500 point list.

Advice and constructive criticism much appriciated:

HQ: Command Platoon, Autocannon, Vox, Chimera

Infantry Platoon #1:
Command squad, 4x Flamer, Vox Chimera
Infantry Squad, Autocannon, Vox, Chimera
Infantry Squad, Autocannon, Vox, Chimera

Infantry Platoon #2:
Command squad, 3x Meltagun, Vox Chimera
Infantry Squad, Autocannon, Vox, Chimera
Infantry Squad, Autocannon, Vox, Chimera

Fast Attack:
Vendetta, Hv Bolter Spons
Vendetta, Hv Bolter Spons

Heavy:
Hydra
Hydra
Executioner, Plsama Spons

Thoughts?

you can't order units embarked in vehicles, so i would drop all voxes and give the infantry squads grenade launchers, they mix wel with autocannons.

and if you drop the chimera 's of the platoon command squads and give them all flamers, you can let them fly in the vendetta's for some bad-ass flaming.

the company command squad can do so much more than shooting an autocannon from a chimera, like equiping all of them with melta's those will make great use of the BS4

with the spare points you could go for the idea mrkilley has

I could take it in a different direction:

HQ: Command Platoon, 3x Meltagun, Regimental Standard, Vox, Chimera

Infantry Platoon #1:

Infantry Squad, Autocannon, Grenade Launcher, Vox, Comissar w PW, PW for Sarg
Infantry Squad, Autocannon, Grenade Launcher, PW for Sarg
Infantry Squad, Autocannon, Grenade Launcher, PW for Sarg

Infantry Platoon #2:
Command squad, 4x Flamer, Vox, in Vendetta
Infantry Squad, Autocannon, Grenade Launcher, Vox, Comissar w PW, PW for Sarg
Infantry Squad, Autocannon, Grenade Launcher, PW for Sarg
Infantry Squad, Autocannon, Grenade Launcher, PW for Sarg

Fast Attack:
Vendetta
Vendetta

Heavy:
Hydra x 2
Russ, Hv. Bolter Spons
Russ, Hv. Bolter Spons

but thats 65 points over...

What to take out?

Drop the Vox network. All of them.
And don't bother with the power weapons. Its a waste.

Especially in a competitive army.
Its looking better I think.

HQ: Command Platoon, 3 x Melta, Chimera

Infantry Platoon #1:
Command squad, 4x Flamer in Vendetta

Infantry Squad, Autocannon, GL, Chimera

Infantry Platoon #2:

Infantry Squad, Autocannon, GL, Chimera

Fast Attack:

Looks solid to me but you're now mechanized, I don't know if that was your intention.

As far as I can see you are 15 points under. In all fairness I'd cut out a flamer on one of the PCS and upgrade all your infantry squads to meltaguns instead of the Grenade launchers. The reason for that is that the only squad you have right now that can reliably deal with armor 14 is the command squad (Vendettas need a "6" on armor penetration rolls to penetrate Armor 14, melta at half range is 8+2d6), which makes them a high priority target. Upgrading your infantry squad special weapons to meltas gives you a better shot at dealing with high armor targets and pulls a little bit of heat off your commandsquad.

Alternatively you could see if you could find the extra points to upgrade the Leman Russ tanks to Demolishers but that would be at the cost of range and would only improve your AP chances slightly (but be much more effective against non storm shield Termies). If you prefer the 72" range of the battle cannon disregard this advice.

Finally you could cut out sponsons on the Russes and do both :)
