I'll be facing Eldar with this.

CCS w/ 4x melta (rides in valk) -- 150
Astropath
Fleet officer

Marbo

Vet squad (rides in vendetta) -- 100
3x melta

Vet squad -- 200
3x plasma
lascannon
Chimera w/ heavy stubber, ML/HHF

Vet squad -- 215
3x Grenade launcher
Autocannon
Harker
Chimera w/ heavy stubber, ML/HHF

Valk w/ MRP -- 130

Vendetta -- 130

Leman Russ w/ HHF -- 150

Leman Russ w/ HHF -- 190
plasma sponsons

Demolisher, w/ HHF -- 165

I want to use some heavy hitting tanks/units, but I feel like I'd be better served with more flamers or a hellhound or something.

Any thoughts?

OK:
Drop the HW from the Vet squads.

Spread those meltas around a bit, clustering them up in one squad is a quick way to lose them.

Put the plasma sponsons on the Demolisher - keeps the whole thing AP2.

My personal favorate vet set up: is meltax2 flamer.

Remember you can't shoot out of valk/vend, no fire points. And once you get out you're squad is pretty much dead.

If you drop Marbo, Harker, the HW teams, 1 Advisor (I don't think you really need them both)
You can take a nice Min platoon with 3 AC's:
PCS: AC/GLx2 50
1st SQD gl/AC 65
2nd SQD gl/AC 65

This you some 'soft' fire while youre vets are advancing, and gives you something to set on objectives and threaten your opponent
