The main thrust of the list is to remain highly mobile for objective grabbing, and to maintain a relatively high level of redundancy to absorb losses, while putting out a high level of shooting power. Ideally the idea is to use scouting and infiltrating units to pop as many opposing transports on the starting line as possible and gun down the rest at a relatively safe distance. The largest weakness that I can think of would be against blood angels or other high strength deep striking armies. In that eventuality, dismounted squads are designed to fall apart to free up shooting from nearby friendly units. Thoughts and comments are welcome.

I'd drop one of each of the Advisors since they don't stack, and use the points to upgrade your special weapons to more plasma and melta. Grenade launcher spam just isn't very strong. Stormtroopers are way too overpriced, and melta vets just do the same job better. Another vet squad with 3 meltas in a chimera will serve you better than those 2 squads combined, and will free up some extra points. I'd also try to find a way to squeeze some more heavy support in, like some Hydras or a Manticore, or another Russ.
