Hello all. New to the hobby and working on an AdMech/Tempestus Scion list since they seem to compliment each other well and I just love the models. It will primarily be going up against a CSM Khorne list (https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/732109.page) and I at least want the games to be interesting - though I'd be happy if the Khorne list was a bit stronger. Anyways, here's the list:

The idea is to have strong, relatively immobile firepower (basically all the AdMech) backed up by mobility (TempSci, Valks) and counter-assault for units that get too close or opponent mispositioning (Dragoons). All C+C welcome.

Edit: Removed Valks for Battalion Scions and another set of Robots.

I don't think valkyries are very good firepower for their points and of course the plasma scions can already drop in with great accuracy. I would drop them for more scions (one more troop squad would let you change that patrol to a battalion detachment) and/or more kastelan robots, which are terrifyingly good.

You could drop the valkyries for vultures with punishers, although that may be too mean for what I assume are somewhat casual games?

Yeah, I was afraid of that. Just like them models. In a perfect world I'd still have some mobile flyers in here, but I kind of shy away from Forgeworld models in general.

Replaced the Valks with more Robits and another TempSci squad for the Command Points.
