So, I have two ideas for an 1000 point list for Militarum Tempestus right now. Ideally, I would like to expand this into a Primaris Raven Guard/Militarum Tempestus 2000 point army in the future.

I would like to hear which list people think would probably be more competitive, while also being better for integrating later into a SM army.

it's a pretty standard looking tempestus list. I think it'll work the way you're planning. Just remember that using the FAQ you'll have to wait until turn 2 to drop your guys outside of your deployment zone.

I do have one suggestion. Take one of the tempestor primes, your two commissars, and one command squad and use it as a vanguard detachment for +1 cp. It won't change your list at all.

Thanks for the advice. I have changed the list to that format to reflect this. This also has helped me decide on some aesthetic choices for this army. Thanks!

I have have dramatically changed how this post is fashioned.

One thing I had to confront when I added Scions to my list was how to use relics to extend orders. I eventually settled on the Laurels of Command and Kurov's Aquila for my two Primes, but you might go a different route once you imagine how you'll deploy them and order them around.

I do look at my lists now and realize that I am stuck with my old strategy of having both Primes have three orders. I figured that one would drop in with the Command squads for Take Aim, and the other would buff up a ten-man squad with four hot-shot volley guns. Thank you.
