It looks both quite dull to play and dull to play against. You have five fighters with +1 wound, three champs/leaders with the same skill, two with same loadout. If the Juves were prospects they could at least try and find cool weapons from the Trading post. With no versatile you'd really like to have at least some stimms to boost charge ranges. You could also start with a chem dealer to get some spur/slaught or if you want to be insufferable some frenzon. Or start with a Pit trainer to get some skills on your fighters (though if you went for any more Nerves of steel I'd probably call you out for being a jackass).
In my opinion, add variety in profiles and weapons (even at the threat of being *gasp* sub-optimal), get a combat shotgun on someone to have short range ranged weapon, maybe even a grenade launcher with smoke grenades.

vatborn also has a few strengths;

should you wish to add a bit of versatilty you can try:
-forgeboss unborn hipshooting combat shotgun or flamer
-forgeboss heavy gunner with shooting skills
-vatborn stimmer build around NOS
-bruisers with boosted strength and incendiary charges
-I see at least one gl with smokes as mandatory
