I don't like the veterans in the vendettas. I'd say:
-Remove one of the veterans in the vendettas. -Give the other one a chimera. -Reduce the command squad to two meltas, and add a regimental standard for morale rerolls within 12". -Add Marbo. 1850 on the nose.
I always wondered weather an all-veteran Guard army would be viable. Is one squad of BS4 troops equal to 2-6 squads of BS3? I prefer the platoon organisation myself but with the vendettas and chimeras more than ofset that. What cost is the above list?
I tried to run a platoon command squad with 2 meltas in a chimera, and two infantry squads with a melta in each, and each in a chimera, as one of my troop slots.
For the same points you can get two squads of veterans, with three meltas, both in chimeras. You lose one scoring unit, but you gain a lot of Str 8 Ap 1 shots, both in volume and accuracy.
The list above has 2 too many manticores for my taste, but LegendaryGannon likes it.
Personally, my most recent tournament list is here: http://anygivencodex.blogspot.com/2012/02/battle-for-stones-river-game-one.html
I have a new incarnation in the works currently, I'll probably post it soon.

You like the manticores, don't you?

The list above runs in at around 2,000 points.

Make that 1850 points.
