1500 IG Air Cav Hybrid

Hey everyone, first post here. I've played a few games and want to try a list centered on the Valkyrie and Vendetta. I play almost exclusively against space marines, so I want to gear everything toward killing MEQ. Here's what I've got.

HQ:
CCS
Melta Guns x4
Chimera


The goal for these guys is to drive around blowing away rhinos and dreadnaughts. After a few run ins with my CCS with meltas, the Landraiders stopped coming out to play.

Troops:

Veteran Squad
Plasma Pistol
Plasma Guns x3

Fast Attack:

Heavy Support:

Plasma Sponsons
Lascannon

Manticore



The vets will all be riding in the valks/vens and the idea is to drop them within 12in of a marine squad and fry it with plasma after the Valkyrie softens it up.

I loves me some tanks, so I decided to bring a few Russ's with plasma sponsons and lascannons to max their chances of killing MEQ and maybe a transport if needed.

I've used my Manticore in every game I've played and love raining down three strength 10 large templates for four turns (assuming the dice gods smile upon me). Haven't been disappointed with it so far. Although I am considering dropping it to pick Carapace armor for all my poor squishy humans.


Any ideas on how to employ or restructure all this would be great.
