Ok i posted a rubbish list earlier so ive tried again. Tactics are have a gun line at the back, scions deep strike in behind turn 2 and then have two waves of infantry first 40 men run forward and die to buy time then second wave with decent weapons and creed hold the line. I highly appreciate feedback ive got some games coming up and i want to do well. Thanks

You can't include the Culexus Assassin in an Astra Militarum Detachment and have it count as Battle-Forged (assuming using beta rule for Battle-Brothers).

Heavy weapons teams are 18 points, not 17. (3x6=...)

Flamers in infantry squads are pretty lame - overcosted, too short range. You'd do better with a mortar or heavy bolter, unless you expect them to be moving to engage.

Plasma pistols for your sergeants also probably not the most cost effective, IMHO.

Lascannon HWS will be priority targets for anyone with vehicles, and you can't hide them so easy - might be safer in the infantry squads to help them last a bit longer.

I'd specialize the Scions command squads, putting the plasmas together, that way you can use 'take aim' (to reduce the odds of a guy frying himself), once for more plasmas, leaving you options for other orders on other squads (FRFSRF on 4 hotshots still isn't bad).

Just my opinions though.

You can mix your hwt to include 2 mortars 1 lascannon for some ablative wounds as well. Youd be better off breaking the brigade down to a battalion and a spearhead, and with the points saved grab a couple hellhounds in place of the scout sentinels. I think youd like them in place because tactically theyll play about the same but the hellhounds are great and flamer sentinels are filler. Just roll one or both grand strategist/ kurovs aquila. AM have a surplus of cp for their strategems anyway.
