Hey there, this is sort of a test of new Imperial Guard, idea is to deploy half of the units via deep strike/ambush, while artillery rains bombs.

Couple of things I see with this list.

Why give command rods to primes when there are 2 of them and only 2 Scion units?

Why give the Scions voxes?

The Shadowsword will be unable to be given doctrines in the auxiliary detachment.

Your artillery will be extremely vulnerable without any bubble wrap.

Your infantry will receive no orders or leadership buffs.

So you do not get any buff from the tallarn or tempestus doctrine as they are different regiments. loose a tempestor prime and a missile launcher, run the scions as a patrol, add 2 company commanders and run them at tallarn to get the buffs, that way you have your 3 regiments but you get buffs for all of them, not just the catachan and the LOW.

Shadow sword can still be nominated as a tallarn unit for the "ambush" stratagem. Why? Because it has a keyword "regiment" written into its datasheet. It does not get to benefit from "swift as the wind" as written in regimental doctrine.
