Thoughts? Not quite plasma spam, but having the specials to be able to drop in where needed with either flamers or melts provides nice tactical flexibility.

just a few things I noticed-

I don't see the advantage to the melta scion heavy, because they can't use the +1 shot heavy stratagem on a weapon that only gets 1 shot.

Also, flamers are more points efficient on guardsmen rather than scions since BS doesn't matter. I get the idea with the deepstrike flamers, and it could be great I just like flamers to protect from melee chaff units rather than hunting for kills. Plasma/HSVG scions would probably do that better.

You have no comms specialists, which I think is a mistake. Scion plasma sniper supported by a comms hits on 2s and rerolls 1s.

On commanders, if I remember right the company commander has a stratagem that works like "sir yes sir" from the Drop Force Imperator box (I understand some tournaments don't use those starter set strats?), and baseline 2 orders seems worth it over the platoon commander

What's the point of the commanders if you aren't capable of making a legal 200pt list from your roster? Unless you're including only the tiny handful of commander missions that aren't 200 points then when are you going to use them?
