I'm not sure about Artillery Companies, they seem like a lot of points for something that is very vulnerable to being taken out by air assaults, bombers or even normal formations. If you spend more defending it from air/ground attacks then it ends up costing a lot more then the already costly 650.
After playing against IG in my first game last night I would probably go for something like this: (baring in mind I have only had one game and that was me playing Orks  )
Tank Co.
1 Vanquisher, 9 Leman Russ 650
1 Hydra 50
700
Regimental HQ
1 Commander, 12 IG Infantry, 7 Chimera 500
1 Hydra 50
550
Infantry Co.
1 Commander, 12 IG Infantry 250
1 Hydra 50
2 Ogryns 50
350
Storm Trooper Plt.
8 Storm Troopers 200
4 Valkyrie 150
350
Vulture Squadron
4 Vultures 300
300
Artillery Battery
3 Manticores 250
250
Deathstrikes
2 Deathstrikes 200
200
Rough Rider Plt.
6 Rough Riders 150

It can be useful to look at what you want to build towards, so when buying for a smaller army you don't end up with formations you don't want in a larger one.

Hiya
I'd definately drop the hydra from the infantry company as it won't last 5 minutes being the in vehicle in the formation. The army also seems a little more assault orientated than I would play certainly.
The tank and HQ companies should be made mandatory. Their invaluable. Infantry is always good and your not playing imperial guard if you don't have any artillery.
Tank Co.
1 Vanquisher, 9 Leman Russ 650
1 Hydra 50
700
Regimental HQ
1 Commander, 12 IG Infantry, 7 Chimera 500
1 Hydra 50
550
Infantry Co.
1 Commander, 12 IG Infantry 250
4 Fire Support 100 or 2 Snipers 50
2 Ogryns 50
350
Artillery Battery
3 Manticores or Basilisks 250
250
Rough Rider Plt.
6 Rough Riders 150
150
=2000pts
Would give a nice mix and be fun to play with.

And get yourself a new keyboard. The one you have now seems to be faulty.
