Hi, first off, does the below functionally work? I've taken some alpha legion Berzerkers in a soup detachment, which I know means that they can't use the legion trait (-1 to hit), but I think they can use the alpha legion stratagem if I understand the rules correctly?

It's a bit unfluffy, but I'm trying to make an Iron Warriors list without using the sub standard legion trait or going down the obvious alpha legion route. I think the emperor's children gives me a nice base of shooting that strikes first in cc when the enemy hits the lines. I've taken lots of bodies and obsec as that is my preferred play style.

I'm not too plussed about the malefic lords, they will probably get nerfed soon I imagine.
